More like a crewneck sweater, when only the collar's showing.

What's the experts view on their suits? I love some of the fabrics they use, although I do concede that some seem to be made for new rich flash...

This is an excellent rule of thumb.

Get it. I like it and you can wear it under a sweater or jacket. It will haunt you if you don't get it now.

I believe to have seen one with a pattern like a Dalmatian (but it may just have been a nightmare). Good stuff to use for walking my dogs.
Once I walked past their shopwindow with my wife and I asked what she thought of the suits and she told me that I'd better NOT EVEN CONSIDER them as an option. Really loud stuff. For someone in showbiz?

Buy it, try it on, if you dont like, sell on B&S forum.

Under a dark brown vneck sweater, it will be nice!

I think it's a great shirt, provided your face-paint, oversized shoes and water-squirting boutonniere are of complimentary colors.

I think you forgot the trademark notation after Storm-System. ;-)
