Thoughts on this brown suit?

[gumercindo]

Checking this out on ebay. Suit is a lightish brown suit with a very subtle light blue pinstripe. Thoughts on how functional/flexible this suit is for standard office use? Dark brown shoes, but is the suit limited to blue-shaded shirts or can one branch out to lavender, etc.?

Overall thoughts are welcome...

TIA!

I think the suit is pretty flexible.

Just make sure to wear light colored shirts with it. You should be fine.

The color is fine, especially this time of year. I'd likely wear it with blue or white shirts, but then all my dress shirts are blue or white. Dark brown or burgundy shoes would look great with it IMO.

i think the suit is fine for office wear.

but for me, a brown suit, especially a dark brown suit , lends itself best to the type to wear when going out at night. imo.

therefore a dark brown in a solid color, or a birdseye type fabric, is great for that.

i dont particularly like the combo of brown fabric with a blue pinstripe/windowpane over design.

It looks nice and I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be a flexible piece in the wardrobe.

Not loving the cloth, and why is the lapel roll so long?

ugly shade of brown with uglier stripe. Brown suits can be gorgeous but they are trickier than the typical grey or navy.

oh, I def hear ya there. Brown has to be just right, imo - at least in my eyes.

I kinda like the shade, but I really hate the stripe.

Nice fabric and styling, but the xtra high gorge and long lapel roll are pretty bold fashion statements. More of a leisure suit?

it strikes me as one of those weird shades that's a greyish brown or brownish grey. I'm also not a stripes fan on suits.
