Here is a pic taken of Will from A Suitable Wardrobe at the Styleforum Anniversary event in San Francisco along with Mark from the Armoury. The blue blazer and cream pants looked perfect for a sunny May weekend. They were so much more "sporty" than grey flannels.

I have a pair of mid-weight and a pair of heavy. They look great with tweed jackets on sunny days when there is no slop on the street.

As others have said Butler, fantastic photos! Do you ever pair the flannel pants with grey tweed jackets or gun club check tweed jackets?

I can't be the only SF member who's been searching for proper white flannel trousers for a while, hopefully my bump won't go to waste. The model is certainly rare and rarer still in competitive prices, yet Tyrwhitt, of all sources, has these on sale at 49£ at the moment. Plenty of sizes still available.

I will love wearing that particular pair of trousers that but my wife will not be seen in public with me wearing them..



Which could a great thing...

Fox Brothers makes a really nice-looking pair of white flannels. http://www.themerchantfox.co.uk/prod/367/flannel-trousers/fox-flannel-cricket-white-trousers "[COLOR=3B3B3B]Made in Lancashire, England. The maker is traditionally a military maker of dress uniforms."[/COLOR] [COLOR=3B3B3B]Anyone know which maker that might be?[/COLOR] [COLOR=3B3B3B]-VF[/COLOR]
Has anyone seen the Fox cricket white flannel in person? Is it closer to a cream or a white? Appropriate for spring wear? TIA

A little something for the "matchy matchy" contingency to ***** about: matching tie, cufflinks a n d coat lining - oh dear :bigstar:


and some historical precedence:
