Is it a woollen flannel houndstooth? Or a worsted?

I like your suit better.

Something about that houndstooth fabric without a windowpane or secondary colour makes it look....boring. And not in a good way.

I don't like the Lesser version at all. Way too crisp. It loses all the fuzzy, indecisive charm of the Minnis.

If you have to be wrong, you have at least chosen a reasonable basis.

But it is still wrong. When you look at the two versions from a normal distance and at normal scale, the worsted version looks nicer and seems more interesting to me. The contrast in the pattern is helpful.
