But I have been on a plaid suit vibe lately:
italian linen:
.
Boat pocket
.
Closest to actual colour on my screen.
Tan wool (+ cashmere ??), linen and silk. Should have bought more fabric for two trousers. Very luxurious but appears not very durable.

Oscarsfan,
Thank you for the pics. I am intrigued by the "boat pocket" which seems to have a very dramatic angle or rake. Is this a signature of your tailor or something that you asked for specifically?

Some of it is the result of the excellent photography by yours truly via the use of a cell phone camera. It does not appear as rakish in the mirror. The photographs make it look more so.manicturncoat wrote:Oscarsfan,

And from styleforum:The Barchetta breast pocket (little boat), the most beautiful detail of the Neapolitan jacket IMHO. Borrelli’s is more pronounced, whilst Attolini’s is that of a more subtle style.
-Remember that a true barchetta pocket starts out straight closer to the lapel and gradually curves towards the armhole.
