I am probably influenced by the zeitgeist, but I decided for this FW, I'm going to focus on browns and greens. Also, maybe because I already have blues and greys.

Focusing on brown and green this FW is really taking a risk.

If I’m not going to office I would wear brown chalk stripe, I can see summer dark brown linen suit easier than fall brown flannel chalk stripe for some reason

Chocolate brown cavalry twill from Dugdale. Chalk stripe maybe tough.

Fair point. I just discovered how much I like them. I was a blue & grey guy.

I think this brown chalk stripe would work for office wear:

Kent Hand-Tailored Chalk-Stripe Suit

Ralph Lauren

I suppose you "could" but even black pinestirpe DB would be easier than that in my book

Yeah, brown pinstripe looks very costumey to me. Bold and interesting but maybe a dinner party statement piece?

I need to find this sweater or something close. IG page is Japanese and says it's Di Maestro. Only company I can find is Italian that makes bedding and such.

This?

Thanks, I had seen that. Went with the Zanone.

Cross post from DB thread:

A sharp look, although the trousers are bit on the slim side.

Chalk stripes are one place where belly on a lapel can really look good.

wonder if it's RL, though I suppose it's generic enough could be any

It's hard to tell, but it may be a rope stripe.

Also, it looks like he's wearing the RLPL Gregory fit - a very structured shoulder (probably the most shoulder wadding in any RTW brand I've handled), and a very narrow chest/waist. That may account for the lack of belly.

You're right! It's from the RL party at Ralph's house.

Also found this. Again, RL (likely the Ralph fit since it's 6x1).
