The blue and green tweed suits are bloody gorgeous, Ham. Just fantastic, absolutely class. I'd love a dark blue suit like that.
The pinstripe works, too. To my mind it's a bit more of a stretch, but that's just me. You've done it right and worn it with care, which makes all the difference. There's a world of difference between you in that picture and the model on the walk that I referred to.
Hi Alan!
Many thanks for your kind words. I am pretty much equally fond of the three suits - each has its place at the right time. The green one is in a fairly heavy tweed, and the blue is in a mid-weight woollen worsted as is the grey pinstripe.
With regard to the latter: I understand what you say. Actually, mine is a pinstripe but I did look at wider chalkstripe fabrics before opting for this one.
I wore both pinstripe and chalkstripe suits virtually all my working life and I wanted a kilted suit for the slightly more formal occasions that occur during retirement years. This one fits that bill very nicely.
