Nah, I've always liked it, the 300. Makes me feel like it'd make something like this up quite nicely (patch pockets of course):

I got it for odd trousers,pulling a foo. No suit.

Which stripes are you considering, btw?

I'm not completely convinced by pinstripes despite owning a navy pinstriped suit.

Outside of the workplace, I'm just never completely sure when and where it's appropriate.

Thin pinstripes are fine, chalk ones are harder to wear..

Details on all of these flannels please.

Flannels are all Minnis, 0300,0301 and 0328 if I am not mistaken.

He looks like Hubert de Givenchy...

Maybe this has been covered before but if you source your cloth directly from eg Minnis, what is generally the price difference compared to ordering through Mina/NSM or other tailors?
