Although I'm an admitted eclectic in cloth selections, I just can't warm up to that one.

I think it's nice. What's the weight?
As a colorblind guy, I can say that Hardy Alsport cloth would be a nightmare for me. Purple and teal are the two colors that I find most perplexing. I've even tried using a color wheel to coordinate them, but have resolved the problem by largely omitting both from my wardrobe. What would you wear with it, other than gray flannels?
Unfortunately, I am not color blind and get to see this in all its glory.
This is some John G. Hardy Alsport that I bought a few months ago for an odd jacket. I'm not entirely convinced on it. I was not expecting the purple. But from normal viewing distance, the purple and the teal overcheck are far less obvious and give the general impression of blue. Thoughts?
Very odd vest, yes; jacket, no.
Matt,
Just to play devil's advocate: If someone posted that he found a $4,000 sportcoat with a purple and teal pattern for $900 at Filene's, would you encourage him to buy it? I suspect a good number of our posters would say it's a false economy.
In addition to the Scabal I already have made, and the one on order, and the future one, I also have a Breanish Shetland in my closet waiting to be made. I am drowning in Shetland. Have you had yours made-up yet?

What if I did some funny lapels?
