Thank you! Best part is that I found them at a thrift store for 18 euros and they fit me perfectly without any need for alteration.
I myself was dubious about 'check on check', but the contrast between checks on my jacket is much less apparent in the flesh, so that it appears a dark charcoal and doesn't clash too much with the strides.
Angelico is a good mid-low tier maker and bought several suits and jackets from them. It's quite a slim fit cut though, and, as in the last years I got some bulk, I outgrew most of my suits. Luckily the jackets were a more generous shape and I still can wear them.
About brown flannel suits, well, great minds think alike; here's mine:
Caruso, full canvassed, found nwt on the Bay for 200 euros. Tie is vintage Armani (this means I bought it new in my thirties ...) and Oxfords are Alfred Sargent.
Turnups on the strides and width of the tie apart, I think this might be held as a fair evolution of the classic Look of the mid - sixties.
IIRC @Thin White Duke raised a point about jacket lapels pressed flat with the higher buttonhole just peeking out. I think my jacket is a good sample of a nice three roll two, instead. What do you think?
