It's never too late to hit the big time.

Et tu? I need to get that thing made up quick, before our Sydney Taylor outing.

Patch out pockets too, right?

Uhm, I hope you don't mind that if I spot you wearing yours while I wear mine, I'm going to avoid you. No hard feelings...but I have to draw the line at StyleForvm/London Lounge twinsies.

Is that from whence one gets mismatched tweed to make into a four panel tweed jacket?

I always wondered about that.

Now I know.

We were obviously gripped by the talons of propriety. (Note small "p".)

Your new stuff looks great, and I am envious that you are able to have so many things going on at once.

BTW, I will be in Boston in early March. If you tell me what you're wearing, I promise to match it.

I love this idea.

For God's sake, do not let Foof read this section of the thread!

What can we all do to hide this concept from him?

He will be drawn to the single suit wardrobe like a tiny, big-headed insect to the flame.

We need immatt to condemn this idea...that will buy us precious days.

M Fan should wear only navy flannel with his cordovan Aldens. He will come to understand this eventually.

Rubinacci called and said it's too late, the order has been placed.

Cambridge gray flannel, six piece suit. SB coat, DB coat, SB vest, DB vest, brace trousers, belt trousers.

This is sartorial nirvana.

I first thought of this when I got the LL Cooper tweed. I looked at the cloth and said, ah, perfect for 3 roll 2.5 SB 3 piece suit. But then I realized it would look great as DB suit.

The utilitarian approach is to use this for a travel suit. You can take your six piece suit and wear it for a whole week but only need one shirt since it will match every outfit.
