No! Its not drab army green. No. Its like dark dirty bronze colour.

Can we see a pic? 'Gothic' olive to me sounds like dark olive green. I would never assume 'Gothic' means anything light coloured.

Ill try and get a shot up tomorrow Jason.

How about red brownish duck canvas like carhartt do. And maybe a different waistcoat with normal pockets?

[SJC]

Dark chocolate brown it is then

About that Flo I created what I thought was a lovely mahogany (red brown) but nope the polls in here favored darkest solid brown 2-1.  I would do navy or grey but those two colours are going to be covered by the 1918 suit and 1930 in cavalry twill this winter.  So it has to be an earth tone.

Simon, if you're making a 1918 suit in two colours and a 1930 suit in two colours this winter, you really don't need to offer another version of the work suit in two shades of a winter fabric also, in my opinion. Knock out a limited run in black moleskin as that seems to be universally popular, maybe make more trousers than jackets as they're likely to sell as separates, and that will suffice.

If you offer SIX possible variants of full three piece suits (and caps I imagine?) at roughly the same time, at least one of them is going to be the unloved step child that doesn't sell.

No, edwardian suit in black. 30s suit in dark brown.

I can definitely go for dark brown, it's a flattering colour on me and I have been wanting a solid coloured jacket to complement colourful shirts etc.

Yes because moleskin and duck canvas are different things. Showing an example of that iconic duck canvas shade of brown would have convinced a few people. It's recognizable. But for moleskin or corduroy I'd go with dark brown too.

No, edwardian suit in black. 30s suit in dark brown.

Confused in Sweden; so you’re making three versions of each suit? 1918 in blue / grey / black moleskin and 1930s in blue / grey / and brown moleskin? And not doing another run of the existing work suit in black moleskin? Sorry for being dense.

[NCF]

Only black 1918, brown 1930, as I understand it. Or?

[Unkraut]

Yeah where did you get that blue and grey from?

Just black and brown.

[SJC]

Edwardian work suit (plus the optional norfolk) in black moleskin.

1930 beltback wide leg work suit in dark chocolate moleskin.

Thats it.

I got it from here (obviously incorrectly): -

Which sounded to me like there was a navy and grey option in the works for the 1918 and 1930 suits "in cavalry twill this winter".

... and why are we discussing colour options for the 1918 and 1930 winter suits in the 'Workhouse Collection' thread, if they don't relate to the Workhouse Collection suit that was released this year?

To clarify; are either of these new suits ANYTHING to do with the Workhouse Collection suit when it comes to pattern, and what was the relevance (and colour options) of the cavalry twill for winter, mentioned in post #245?

Not trying to be difficult, honest guv, just trying to work out exactly what projects are in the pipe line and how they relate to each other when it comes to winter suit releases.

[metatron]

Just black and brown.

That is I believe in reference to the structured suits. Simon wants to do those in grey and blue so he doesn't want to use those colours in the WW suits.
