What would you have made?

[chorse123]

If you were having a suit made just for the hell of it, and not for business dress, what would you have made?

If my tux from Mr. Ned turns out well, I'm thinking about ordering something for fun. It could be something basic like a light to medium grey flannel (a good ground for more unusual shirt/tie combinations) or something out there and harder to find RTW, like a bold plaid or windowpane. Two piece, single breasted, maybe patch pockets. I don't have to wear suits for work, so this would be for purely social occasions.

What would you get?

 

[whnay.]

Dark green on gray windowpane DB with patch pockets and side tab trousers.

 

[SuitingStyle]

light gray flnnel ( not too heavy though, like around 11 oz maybe), with faint light blue windowpane, if I could find something like that. 2 button peak lapel, side vents , flat front touser with no belt loops and side metal adjustter.

Has to be DB and has to have patch pockets, if we are talking about a fun, F.U. suit.

Fun question!

I would love a navy or charcoal with a chalk stripe windowpane pattern in a light flannel. It's a bit bold, but also dressy and very Duke of Windsor. It would look great at social occasions and you wouldn't look at all like you just came from work.

I would go with dark brown wool with blood red windowpane

 

[kshah]

light gray flannel, patch pockets, high gorge

same suit, but in a light khaki/cream twill for the summer

navy pinstripe db, 6x2, silk blend, high waisted trousers

2 btn navy pinstripe (could work for business too)

light gray wool/silk 2btn - fit slim for clubbing/night time events

frankly, i could go on and on

 

[itsstillmatt]

Navy cotton drill 3/2 with patch pockets and double stitching.

I'd get an extraordinarily rich chocolate brown worsted flanel -- say, around 13 oz. -- with a dark, drab green OR burnt orange windowpane (perhaps 3-inch). Natural shoulder, medium waist supression, double reverse or forward pleats (depending on how I felt that day), and cuffs. Button fly. I'd also request an Oxxford waistband if I could, because I just love it.

 

[horndog]

Chocolate brown w/ dark orange windowpanes, 3 rolled 2 single breasted three piece with ticket and hacking pockets and dual vents.

If you really want a F.U. suit, make the DB notch lapel.

Interesting to see so much DB and windowpane.
