It can be gorgeous cloth. Â Go with H. Lesser, and you will have a stunning suit. Â Solid, striped, or windowpane, you can't go wrong. Â "Postman's" blue or slate blue or blue gray also make great colors for flannel, if you want something a little lighter, or a little different.

Can someone recommend me a navy blue woolen flannel for a blazer I want to get made up?
I'm thinking single-breasted, 2 patch, welted breast, 2-button, double vented.
Thanks.
Minnis and get three patch, 2 patch+welted chest is way overrated on this forum. Just make sure your guy knows how to make patch pockets.

There's a link to a Minnis 14 oz. blue flannel near the bottom of this thread. I thought it was beautiful.

We know that grey flannel is a classic staple, but what do people here think about navy blue? I'm thinking to get my first bespoke suit in the near future.Originally Posted by FCS
If it has a stripe or in some rare cases a windowpane, then you are good to go. Otherwise, a solid navy flannel or, worse, a blue-grey flannel look too much like a blue collar uniform.

Yes, for example, the chap on the left looks as if he's just knocked off from a hard day's work at the factory, whereas the one on the right looks your typical fat cat.

Yes, I think you have something there. I dont particularly like that light grey suit either. Nor do I like matching one's tie to one's suit. Incidentally, that's really good work posting all those photos of fabric.

You speak, I listen.
I presume you're speaking about the Minnis 0306?

I'd get a wool over a flannel, P&H has some great fabrics that may be of interest.
