That is, assuming I had any money.

Linen? Fresco? Worsted? Flannel? Gabardine?

All suggestions welcome. Help me do some virtural window shopping.

Cream linen double-breasted suit with patch pockets. I recently learned I am not advanced enough to wear one myself, but you may be a different story.

I thought of that, and I have the piece, but I already have a cream linen SB, and it does not get out much. If linen, I think I would rather do a mustardy tan.

BTW, this is not a mafoo thread where I have already made up my mind and will spend 50 pages telling you you are wrong. I really am open to ideas here.

That's so weird. Why the vest? A tweed DB odd jacket with patch pockets: now that's interesting.

Inside Manton is a tendentious little man struggling to get out?

You can help me choose the cloth too:http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=103047


Funny, I have a piece of cloth very similar to the middle one posted. I like it very much, though I don't think I need more brown just at the moment.
