    Just focused on trying to show the material and colour. The fit is dead on (for me) as per the last two. Its funny how flash, no flash, bright light etc, can change the blue appearance. 8-)

    As a recap, this is the Magnoli Quantum suit, but using the blue pinstripe material similar to Casino Royale, with turnups as per CR pinstripe suit. I did this because I didnt want the 3 piece with waistcoat, and liked the Quantum suit fit, like the midnight blue, and charcoal pinstripe ones I already have.

    So, this is a bit of a hybrid. Plus its chalk pin stripe, not a light blue pinstripe. Confused? :s

    Indoors with lots of natural light.

    Likewise. Closest colour to the human eye in daylight I would say.

    Indoor with overhead light.

    Great looking suit, ExpatJB! I'm sold. :)-{

    Quick question though, do you think Magnoli could do a different color lining besides red?

    I'm sure he could. Have a good think through all the little details you want. I had my list as mentioned above, plus full canvassing, which helps the form, etc, and I added extra trousers as they would/should get frequent use.

    Just looking at the photos again and I quite like the fabric used on this suit. Do you happen to know what it’s called, or should I just ask for "blue pinstripe material similar to Casino Royale" if I was to order?

    Also, from the look I'm assuming you ordered pick stitching?

    Anyhow, thanks again -{

    No worries. Its how we all get the info we need to help make our minds up. There are many great posts on here that helped me do the same.

    Yes, I did tick the box for hand stitching at +$55, and I asked for full canvassing which isnt listed but is available at +$75. And then added turnups on the trousers.

    So Quantum suit, plus the above, in '8.5oz Italian pure wool/cashmere with classic chalk stripe' (Magnolis description of the cloth). You will be dealing with Indy and so if you mention Dale Boardman he will know the cloth you want.

    HTH. -{

    Did he give to pictures of the fabric before? Were there darker blue, like in the PTS QoS?

    I'm not sure there is a darker blue than this, other than midnight blue as recommended for the Greene Party scene, which looks black until you put it next to black of course.

    He may have other blues, you would need to try him.

    The pic I got is below.

    The swatch seems darker than your suit, don't you think?

    Daylight, direct daylight, fluorescent light, with flash, without flash, it looks different everytime in digital. I guess its colour is its colour in all of those states.

    So, it really depends what you compare it too.

    Lets not turn this into a tie thread. :)) :s :))

    Yes, its the chameleon effect offered by Magnoli Q branch. Glad you ordered it with this option :)) :))

    I think this quote will stay. The «tie thread» will be forever a symbol of pages of borring details, endless swatches, dozens of questions and no action at all :))

    A quick peak at men's suits revealed prices ranging from $5,500 to $20,700.

    For those who thought TF was expensive.
