I can't zoom in right now but it looks like a mid grey fresco. Don't look like nailhead on my phone.

Nope, that's how I think the Stark is designed to fit. Looks good.

Cox, id vote for you twice if I could! That's awesome...terribly awesome!

Probably a n00b question, but how does one describe the weave of this fabric? I've been looking for a light to mid gray fabric like this for a suit. I thought it was nailhead (some of the pics I've seen describe it as such), but what I've gotten has been much less "streaky" and more 50/50 (white & black).


think it might be a VBC sharkskin IIRC. If you're after a casual, textured semi-solid u could try a sharkskin/pick and pick or a Fresco like I'm wearing today. (WTF that crease in my tie?

New Shoes1, your last few fits have hit a nice stride. I like today (might have picked a different PS) and the Friday Challenge fit a great deal.

Thanks, Heldentenor. I appreciate the encouragement. I sometimes hesitate to post fits like yesterday's where the jacket does not fit me as well as others I have.
