Is that from his Italian silks selection? I was looking at something similar in a red silk...

Yep. Hober Italian silk. Small flowers. I went with the green, but the others looked nice to me, too.

Is there a soporific rating system?

^ Good question. To me soporific = solids, very small neats or tone-on-tone patterns. Dull silk or softer wool/cashmere for extra snooze points. Unsoporific is easy = bright colors, high contrast patterns, shinier silks. This mild middle way is more difficult to gauge.

Here's a tonal stripe in a dull silk/wool. I think it's too loud to be soporific. Maybe it's mildly unsoporofic.

The brown one looks spectacular as does your green, especially with your outfit.
