This would not be conservative business dress in Japan (or even meeting with Japanese businessmen)... I'm wearing a tenugui for pocket square.

This fabric is nice. Do you find that you can wear this as a blazer? Also your fresco ones?

I could wear it as a blazer but I don't. The pockets are flapped and I much prefer my sport coats with hip patch pockets. I sometimes wear my heavier navy frasco (2 patch) and my navy flannel (2 patch) as blazers. I wouldn't wear my lighter fresco as a blazer - somehow doesn't feel right

Could you elaborate a bit on the Japanese suit etiquette?
