Same here. It’s my go-to jacket until it gets really cold out. If it ever gets cold again here that it is.
green blazer for me.

I overheated walking to Metro this morning as it was really humid. Needs to get into 40’s before I need a coat.it was cold this morning!
What happens to their leftover stock?Had dinner in Dupont Circle tonight and walked back to Farragut West. BB at Connecticut & M was all closed up and emptied. It was full (I think) just a few weeks ago. Store was closed but window displays were up and store was stocked, lights on. Lease sign up now. Bought my first real suits there.

I'm guessing it goes back to a warehouse as their website is still there? I'm looking at some outwear as Christmas gifts for folks and waiting on inevitable deeper sale.What happens to their leftover stock?
As Trad as I can get for Friday challenge. Sid Mashburn (Scuderi) hopsack sport coat, Zegna shirt, Drake's tie, Canali pants, AE Strand in Dublin leather. Sitting out back at Kramer Books & Afterwords. Good chow actually and Oktoberfest beer on tap!

You probably can’t go wrong with either a navy or mid-gray suit. A tasteful pinstripe would work as well I guess. If you’re spending that kind of coin I would definitely stick to a staple so it lasts stylistically anyway.I am planning to commission a suit from Will at Field English Custom Tailors. This will be my first English style suit (and first true bespoke suit). Do any members have any color recommendations for a traditional English cut suit? I am a soon-to-be lawyer and only have two MTM suits right now--two Neapolitan style suits (navy and charcoal) with no shoulder padding (previously shared these on the forum).
I generally recommend against making too much out of the provenance label since companies can manipulate their production just to get a "made in USA" or "made in Italy" label. Lots of countries outside the US and Europe have long histories of making quality clothes.Very sad and unfortunately the end-result for many menswear companies. They start off building a brand through offering high qualify clothing and forming a customer base. The company is then acquired by a larger entity that outsources production overseas and exploits the brand name. Customers gradually leave realizing that the quality is no longer the same. Same story with J. Crew. Buy made in USA or Europe. Better to invest in quality clothing that lasts rather than new clothing that you throw out after a year (such as H&M).
Since you already have a navy and charcoal, I think there's nothing more English than a mid-gray glen plaid flannel 3-piece.I am planning to commission a suit from Will at Field English Custom Tailors.
