Every season, one item catches my attention.  This season, it is the explosion of beautiful brown shades in suiting and sport coats.  My favorite brown suits almost have a charcoal/brown tone.  Here is an updated glen plaid that one can wear to court, the boardroom, or any other dress occasion.

This suit dresses down to a very comfortable business-casual look by ditching the tie and moving to a bold checked shirt.  Lavender complements char-brown.

Next up, you should consider a multi-tasking brown sport coat this Fall.  two of my favorites are a brown herringbone or a brown window pane. First, here is a new chocolate herringbone.  Add some suede elbow patches for that professorial look, maybe a contrasting suede throat tab?

Finally, if you prefer a pattern, how about this brown/blue/tan window pane.  Picture this on weekends with a pair of suede half-boots and your favorite jeans!

Talk with a custom clothier near you about styling details.  Here are a few of my custom recommendations:

For business use, go with a “capped” or slightly roped shoulder.  I still like a flapped pocket with a ticket pocket added. Pic stitching too!  shorter center vents are returning.

If the sport coat is entirely casual, consider a “natural” shoulder, with micro shoulder pads.  substitute patch pockets and you are set!

Chat with a custom clothier near you about styling a few chocolate brown garments with you this Fall!
