I voted for navy worsted - it would be more versatile, season-wise, than flannel, and allow you more options for accessorization than chalkstripe.
Beyond that, I just prefer navy to charcoal

Whichever you choose, I am sure that it will be handsome.

+1.
But what will this suit be used for? If it's for business the navy chalkstripe would be a good choice too.
And go with a 2-piece. 3-piece DB suits aren't necessary unless you have no heating.

x2. A 3 piece DB seems a little crazy.

Navy worsted in my opinion. As it is your first DB, I think that it would be the most versatile. I believe Manton said a while ago that he often wears his Navy DB for those occasions that call for less than black tie. I like that idea.

Best of luck with the outcome, and I hope it comes out a killer as well - pictures after the fact, PLEASE!
Thanks for all the help, I decided to go with the Navy Worsted 2pc DB from Tom Mahon, first fitting is in March, hope it comes out killer.Originally Posted by Slickman
