From the time I began posting in this forum, I have always desired the "grey flannel suit." After much searching and selling a suit that just didn't work, I think I have found my grail. The sleeves were altered but may still be too long, my tailor has an issue with that apparently, but the shirt sleeves may have shrunk/gotten too short for my frame. Anyway, I would love advice on a pocket square to go with this and any advice on what colors to pair with this suit (probably anything but, I would love some inspiration.
Suit- R. Caruso Sartorio Parma
Shirt-BB
Tie-BB
Shoes-AE Bostons

Some pictures of my favorite suit, was in the mood to take some snaps.

Close up of combo / fabric.

Jacket unbuttoned -- it is my only jacket that doesn't splay outwards (even a little) when it is unbuttoned.

And then better indication of jacket fit.

Some Deets:

Front on shot.

The back of the jacket -- normally a bit cleaner, but I think my arms were forward.

Arms folded, I love how the jacket doesn't lose any shape when it is contorted, especially with respect to the shoulders.

And watch deets -- put it back on the black strap, which I haven't worn for a couple years now.
