In praise of Brown

[Cuttingboard]

I'm currently wearing a light grey suit that has a herringbone pattern with a small brown thread with a brown/blue striped tie.

Cross-post from the Tweed Appreciation thread...

Just had a suit made in Glenroyal. In real life, the brown is a very dark chocolate with a purple windowpane.

That looks highly appropriate for Scottish academia! Who is the tailor?

The trousers are hanging on the rail, so may not be obvious in the photograph. :tounge: I plan on wearing the jacket and trousers as separates, too.

This was my fourth outing with gshen's tailor from Singapore. PM for details...

Brown experts... I need help pairing shoes with my dark brown trousers. The trou are flannel if that helps. I plan on pairing them with a light blue shirt and navy v-neck sweater. (casual Friday) Do i wear my burgundy wingtips? My dark brown suede derbys? My chocolate brown cap-brogues? Or my lighter brown (almost olivesh) whole cuts?

I see Barbera has been shopping on the glove department of Spoo's eBay store.

In my opinion, you pick the pair that is either 1) closet in color to the pants or 2) provides the most contrast - depending on what you like. Sometimes, when brown shoes and brown pants are off just a bit, it can look kind of funny.

Since the pants are flannel, you also want a heavier shoe - probably the wingtips or suede derbys.

Normally, I'm not a fan of these patterns but I really like 6812 & 6815.
