Well I already ordered mine, it's the one in the picture waiting for a fitting this week (hence the DLJr special).

But I would do the other windowpane as well. I like the thicker, bolder windowpane, especially on Navy. But don't feel like you oh me.


I didn't know that was yours in the making. It looks :drool:.

I wants the Formosa bespoke.

That was a super awkward typo on my part.

Guys, we should do the navy herringbone. It is a great blazer, patch hip pockets, brown horn buttons, lines with bottle green silk or Bemberg.

I disagree we should do it, but I agree with the rest of it.

I don't need another blazer type of jacket. It's a great fabric and it will look great made up as suggested. I'm just trying to be selfish and keep the navy with windowpane alive while making a (poor) joke.

I figured it was a joke I missed. I like the windowpane!

I say we just open a new poll for those two maybe?

which 2? herringbone and windowpane?

For the Moonbeams there are two windowpanes, brown with thin blue checks and navy with thick brown checks. The two leading vote getters are the brown with thin blue checks and the navy herringbone. The other Moonbeam is 1 vote behind.


Yes just want to make sure that they are both available first. Also keep in mind we just did the fox herringbone flannel, so that might make it a little harder to get enough people to do the moonbeam herringbone.

Every time we do these polls I'm surprised by the amount of votes the blazer-like fabrics get.
