Great choice. I can vouch for that fabric—I have a suit and.a sport coat in different colours of that VBC flannel. Gorgeous, soft, luxurious, textured. I like that shade of brown, too.

It’s like rust or burnt orange, right? There was an orange Hudson jacket from Suitsupply around 2013-2014. I almost bought one. Regret it now. This is actually a better shade (I like the darker) but the Hudson model is better than this stock Havana on me

Got these loafer last year from Suitsupply. Should I resole them or would these metal tips at the toes be enough to protect the stitching ?
Thanks

These are all Brentwood models, right? While not as slim as Porto, I still find I prefer the overall look of Brescia pants. HOWEVER, a hack I discovered for myself — It turns out, a short size works better for me with Brentwood as it’s a bit fuller in the seat.
No. The double-pleated is the slimmer Braddon fit.

Caved on the brown VBC. Will see if I keep it. Not sure how I'd split it up tbh. At least not with F/W tones.

Gentlemen I'm debating the following:
Couple of things to consider. I don't need a navy or gray suit, have plenty. I want something that I can wear as a separate. I like the idea of a 3-4 season suit but have no qualms about a 2 season suit either. I'm partial to shade of flannel. I don't care for the waistcoat, can do with it or without it.

Build Your Own Suit (BYOS) in this same green flannel but in a Havana Single Breasted (Patch Pockets) with Pink Lining.

Or

The Green Wool

If BYOS, what is the difference in the Brescia and Washington fit regarding the trousers. Looking to order within the next couple of weeks. Thank you.

@sarteaga I saw the green wool suit you mentioned in store the other day. Good material but wasn't into the peak lapel on a single breasted blazer...

Not to mention the patch pockets and peak lapel. I don't mind peak lapels on SB jacket, as this would be part of a suit. How green is it?
