Explorations of Questionable Taste: The Pink Sportcoat Thread

I love this cool pink, called Flamant Rose, actually more lilac, Maison Hellard for Maximilian Mogg.

not questionable taste. Looks fine. I love the denim dress shirt. Where is it from?

Is that the Starlink terminal on your wrist? Cut of suit is sublime. Congratulations on the acquisition of the late PeeWee Herman's car.

I have nothing against pink trousers either.

This has taken forever just to get to a first fitting, but this is from the Loro Piana Sunset book (about 50-50 cashmere and silk, I think?). I kind of wish I’d had it done up as a shawl lapel summer dinner jacket, but it will be great in its current form, too.

And picked up some red/white 100% cashmere herringbone which reads as pink for the Fall/Winter version of the above.

It's a lovely shade with a nice texture. Really attractive.

I'd love to have a pair of trousers in this gorgeous fabric.

That would be interesting. Match with cream-coloured sport coat?

A good choice. I also see grey, green and brown, at best with some patterns, as nice matches.

I thought of you guys when I impulsively bought this thing off ebay a year or so ago, but never posted it here. I keep wondering if I should tailor it so it fits properly or just send it back out to someone else .... Paul Stuart by Isaia, cost me $70 + $11 shipping. Linen-cotton, unlined and unstructured, and the part I really am not in love with is that it's basically a 2.5r3 where the top button isn't quite rolled but isn't quite unrolled. And it needs to be let out for me. I'm thinking of letting this one go.

I see what you say, it looks more like a classic 3 buttons. Lapels too narrow for my liking. What I like is the cold shade of pink.

Agreed on all counts. And the contrast stitching ... yeah this is probably a good lesson not to impulse purchase stuff because I read a fun thread on styleforum probably best to let this one go.
