Olive-Color Suits - Yea or Nay?

[johnapril]

There was an olive cashmere Kiton sportcoat on the peg at the store in town for 3 years before anyone snatched it up. I tried it on each year, and it looked great each time, but the price never went low enough during the annual sale to justify it.

Wearing one now. Olive base, blue undertone. Looks nice with a blue shirt. I agree that there are some crappy olive suitings, but that's true for any color.
If you find one that's done well, Olive is quite snazzy. These colors(greens, tans browns) work better with my complection.

Depends on the fabric. Not in worsted but some olive flannels or tweeds are beautiful.

Olive suits look awesome with red-toned ties and cordovan shoes.

So your debut post was a non-sequitur insult to a post necro-ed from over seven years ago?

Well done. This has to be some kind of SF record.
