    Depends on how green and how medium. Worsted Alsport and Glorious Twelfth might have some options.

    Hartwist and Alsport are stand-bys.

    As a note: the tailor where I saw the book this week said that Fox Air is much preferable to City. Looks aside, the City is difficult to handle and hates being pressed.

    Add a fedora and go to a baseball game, perhaps.

    The usual problem with that color. By the time you want it, you're usually not needing a suit. But weekends, perhaps, or if you live out in the desert? On the east coast, you can wear a lighter tan for business in the summer.

    Nice large check! Could work as suit or sport jacket.

    French Tailoring Thread (e.g. Camps de Luca, Cifonelli, Smalto and etc.)

    Alden's once-favorite shirtmaker, Maria Frittolini, has endorsed him.

    What, from where?

    Get samples first. Saw the book IRL this morning, and it is a bit fuzzier than the Fine Classics and Botany.

    Both work well for an urban (i.e., fake) tweed. Perhaps the larger check will stand up to different shirts and ties better.

    Sadly, my own choice for blazer is gone. That was sw5838.

    I gave a length to NsM for trousers, and they gave it back. The seamstresses whom they use couldn’t deal with the strength of the canvas. So I had to use Whitcomb and Shaftesbury instead— which worked just fine.

    This was the first order from Anderson and Sheppard, 25 years ago. It was doing fine but had been attacked by moths.

    I see him next week-- shall inquire!
