62016 ?Originally Posted by gdl203
yea, looks like it. If I was to get a suit, I would stick with 19 or 20, the others are just "too much donegal".Originally Posted by edmorel
Woooo wee. That is kinda sick. Now I'm debating whether I should be getting a flannel blazer or a donegal one in the 62016....

You would wear the pants odd?Originally Posted by Manton
Sure. Tweed pants are great. What's not to like? They're not white flannel, of course, but still....

Tweed pants?
Patterns for pants are tricky. Loud plaids are pretty much the only ones that work for me.

Tweed pants?Originally Posted by Manton
Now you really confuse me. What's not to love about donegal tweed or herringbone tweed pants. Sure it's more casual than a pair of flannels but tweed is great for odd pants. Where's the dislike coming from ? I wouldn't call that a pattern as much as a texture btw.

I imagine his concern is because your pants are blue.

Just one of those things "not done" that's been in my head since I started thinking about clothes. They are jacket or suit patterns, not odd trouser patterns.
I think I am right about the history on this, but even if I am not I am right about my personal aversion.
