Im about to start two new comissions. First a navy LP seersucker summer suit, probably SBPL but ive seen some DBPLs that look really good but feels like it defeats the purpose for a summer suit. Most likely a less structured more informal style. Second a charcoal chalk stripe flannel "power suit" in a more structured brittish cut. This one will be DBPL, whats the consensus on lapel button holes, only left side or both sides? Any recommendations on fabric would be appreciated!
This exact fabric was actually my first pick when I looked at swatches a couple of months ago. Absolutely stunning! Seems like I'm looking in the right direction. Thank you!The best charcoal chalkstripe flannel out there, for me, it’s not the Fox but the Harrisons. I have swatches of both and you should do the same before ordering:

The buttonhole thing depends on the tailor. DBs nornally have buttonholes on both lapels but I have seem both.

Not only on the tailor but also on the fabric. I got a lengthy lesson on why my solaro has only one buttonhole - it supposedly becomes ugly because the stitching has to be done from the wrong angle etc pp. Whatever…
Now how does your right armpit feel about this?

Have a friend in the rag trade who is unimpressed by the quality of Anglo Italian cloths (might be because he handles amazing vintage stuff every day), but I find them fantastic, both in terms of looks and performance. This brown herringbone linen is a joy to wear.
