I featured both drape and you in recent online musical cabaret. I hope that you caught the act...we breeze through towns like the plague.

I asked for brown buttons on mine and got...black(ish) horn, also.

Is this some kind of conspiracy?

Is this a sign from God that I was wrong to order a single breasted BlazerSuitâ„¢? Mr. Ned doesn't have enough of the navy linen I picked out for a suit. He has a darker shade, which I'm not sure I want--I like lighter navy shades. Blergh. Back to the drawing board (gray fresco?) or out to Tip Top... a treacherous journey! Last time I was there they had some fantastic Woodhouse and Drapers cashmere jacketing.

No, that was a sign from the Devil. The suit that you wanted would have been swell.

Are you still what you get next on the upcoming wedding parties?

I think you mean am I basing what I get on the upcoming parties? If so, yes and no. I want a casual summer suit that is still versatile. Linen was more casual, but in navy meant I would get a lot of use out of it, especially wearing the coat separately. I may still go this route if TT has some.

That sounds great. I already have a blue fresco jacket. It was my first order from Mr. Ned, so lots of room for improvement. Nevertheless, not sure I should be replacing it just yet.

Could you have Ned make up some trousers in the same cloth as the blue fresco jacket above? You'd have one blue BlazerSuit done, then you could pick out a gray for your second.

Guys, come on. There is no such thing as a gray BlazerSuitâ„¢. I wholeheartedly endorse the practice of taking a light or mid gray suit on trips with your BlazerSuitâ„¢ to wear the trousers seperately. It's part of the design intent of the BlazerSuitâ„¢. But anyone who wears the gray jacket seperately is liable to suffer random beatings from street people.
