But today i had this on:
@Roy Al, I think need to commission a 3-piece in this cloth. I thought the jacket from the other day was nice, but having seen this, I have grander visions in my mind's eye. Details, please? At the very least, I need to look into the possibility...

Recovering from wisdom tooth surgery, so I decided to write about one of my fav suits: a 1960's Brooks Brothers 3PC. It's not a grail per se, but it's brown and I love wearing it. It also helps that my friend has a similar one from nearly the same era!

Worn with a custom shirt and 30's tie.

My blog post kinda ties into the "silhouette by decade" piece I wrote for the StyleForum Journal, since there are some subtle differences between this suit and my friend's piece that point to these era changes.

It's actually cold in NYC this morning - a totally unfamiliar sensation, considering how that summer had extended itself into autumn this year. To mark the occasion, I've dragged out a three-piece flannel suit from the archives.

Suit - BBGF
Shirt - Tyrwhitt
Tie - BB
Braces - Paul Stuart
PS - Ashear
Cufflinks - Benson & Clegg, London
Boots - Paul Stuart house brand

I really enjoy this jacket, any information on it? I feel like the patch pocket on a DB is such a nice, unique change of pace.
J Lindeberg hopsack, the “Wilston DB PP Soft” super slim but not tight.
Patch pockets on the front and breast, half lined and unstructured.

Got mine at Brooks Brothers in the late sixties-early seventies.

Don't know where he got his. Do know we are both wearing button down collar shirts.
