Is the light olive colour I posted more suitable for coats, or would it also work for a flexible odd trouser?

Seeing tailor next month, want to do a blazersuit in 0516 fresco, but was curious to any thoughts on whether it was worth going for a heavier weight fresco for durability purposes without losing too much warm weather use. I get really hot, so I’m not worried about not being able to wear fresco in all but coldest climes (I’m in Philly).
Earthier than the greys, but could easily go with a blazer or tweed. Depends on how urban or polished your work environment is.Is the light olive colour I posted more suitable for coats, or would it also work for a flexible odd trouser?
I have the 0516 which I find to be great. I also have 0533, which I use in the Fall/Spring and Summer (but the worst days of the summer). I do not find it to be too warm.I also run hot and have a blazersuit in 0516 in the lightest weight. it is still pretty tough stuff and hard wearing, so I wouldn't worry about that. I'd go with the light weigh (9/10oz if i recall).
Thanks for the insight. Incredible just going to reach out to their rep. The website is much improved, but only shows a handful of swatches for a given book.They are from the Escorial Primavera Book. Not sure whether there is navy escorial / mohair blend option.

Unsure of your location, but Sid Mashburn's tailors do pretty solid work. Not the cheapest, but I've been impressed.I thought this group would be a good resource to find a great alterations tailor in LA. Many thanks in advance for any ideas.
I'm actually looking for a friend of mine. He is Manhattan Beach based, but is down in OC/ Irvine often as well.Unsure of your location, but Sid Mashburn's tailors do pretty solid work. Not the cheapest, but I've been impressed.
I’ll be in Paris for a few days and plan on stopping by Lafayette Saltiel Draper. Are there any recommendations for vintage cloth I should ask to see?
