Jung, that is outfreakinstanding. Start saving your money now. Once you have one of those suits, you will find that it is hard to be happy with anything else.

This is a very flattering cut on you. Isn’t this jacket longer than some of your previous postings (which I seem to recall struck me as just a bit short), or am I misremembering? Be that as it may, this looks just right on you. I think the shoulders work well for you too. Very nice.

Cheers,

Ac

I'll have to find something which makes me less predictable but, yes, you're right, that's more or less my default look. :)

I like that Minnis grey tattersall, and the navy as well. I've been thinking of getting a suit made in one, or maybe both of these - unstructured with 1/2 lining for a warmer climate. How bold does the check look on a finished suit? Not sure if I've seen Claghorn's pics of the navy.

I'm thinking u haven't noticed the pane on Clags' on the occasions when he's posted it because it is so feint- and being navy overall, hard to pic. Definitely not a loud FU check if that's what you're looking for, so it'll be more of a mid-grey solid that will resolve into a fine check up close. The more I think about it the more I'm drawn towards only solids in Fresco tho- I don't want anything to distract from the texture, which is what it 's all about, and a solid will allow me to get more use out of the pants odd.

Edit: looks good ^^^ Claghorn

Excellent, thanks for the pic, I think you sold me on the fabric.

I'm not looking for a big FU windowpane, and I really like the way it looks in the pic Clags just posted. Looks like it could easily work as a BlazerSuit, and I have enough odd trou that I probably wouldn't wear those separately anyway. I really like the patterned fresco, I have the swatch of this and it feels great, I don't think the pattern really overpowers the texture. I'll have to try it and see for myself!

No doubt it'll be awsm. The other thing I love about the their fresco, apart from texture, is its stiffness, which seems to enhance its drape out of proportion to its weight.

Another of that jacket. The actual color is between the two:



I'll probably be getting the pants made to match it.
