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.

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.

And from styleforum:

Remember that a true barchetta pocket starts out straight closer to the lapel and gradually curves towards the armhole.
