I’ve mentioned Flannel as one of this season’s favorite suit fabrics. Flannel is still a great choice for anyone who enjoys a little more warmth during winter’s colder days.
Today, however, I’d like to share with you an interesting alternative to Flannel for those who are interested in the look of a “loftier” fabric…but prefer a cooler or more all-season alternative.
All-season weight silver glen plaid…in Italian milled Super 130’s cloth!
Link to Design Portfolio-Flannel Alternative (Click on “view Lookbooks” at the top of the gallery of choices, to scroll through some interesting design alternatives and see all our super detailing ideas!)
Note, in particular, the use of the silver glen plaid suit jacket as a sport coat when paired with the trouser from the black milled finish suit…and vice versa! We love these double-combinations…this is a very efficient way to expand one’s wardrobe with two purchases (solid suit/patterned suit) rather than four purchases (two suits and two separate sport coats)!
Also note how we took a navy solid, detailed with a tan, bone button, tan button holes, and paired with two super autumn-colored trousers in a heather-finishes!
