Interestingly, although slightly 
fftopic: I have just found a menswear advert from England dated I think 1940. It shows three men in suits. One is in a pinstripe, I think red/white and blue, the other in a check of the same colours and the third, well he has the checked jacket and the pinstripe trousers on.
I will try and scan it when I get home from work!

Ben, that's interesting. Is it a Dunlop ad? In that Dunlop catalogue of mine "new sports styles for 1939", there is a pic of a guy wearing a green with white and red double overcheck jacket with green with white and red double stripe trousers. A very odd combo. As with all those British catalogues "drawn from life" i'm not sure how it might have worked "in the flesh".

Ah. I've seen the pic before. Is it from Farid Chenoune's book?

Torpedo,
I like the tan idea, I overlapped some images of the coat onto some trousers and it did look rather nice. Burgundy pants, well I'm not sure I'm brave enough for that.
Baron, I think you were asking about the color of the coat I am talking about, so to avoid the smiley's signs of doom here is the coat, it's an close up shot, you can see charcoal is really not the best word to describe it, it's, well it's a lot of things.
Ignore the tie, this is a stock photo, I have not received the coat in the mail yet.

I don't put much thought into whether it 'works' or not but I pair this orphaned jacket with solid pants[huh]

I like it Bart, it works. I'm really digging the tie as well.

Ok guys I fixed my camera. Here is what I was referring to at the beginning of this thread. Does it go? Or what color trousers would be better? Would appreciate everyones comments.

I like it Johnny J. Seems to match the pinstripe color well, and the brown shoes complete the look.

Thank you sir. I thought it went well too, but I wanted to see what others here at the lounge thought.

So I suppose a solid dark charcoal(almost black) single breasted coat coupled with dark brown pinstriped trousers are right out then?
They're both lighter weight wool, and the pinstripes are beige and thin.

The beige pinstripes and the light weight wool could go well with a linen sportscoat. Charcoal wouldn't be the first thing that comes to my mind. Would need a picture to see this combo.

I'm waiting for the trousers to arrive in the post actually. Got a good deal on them, but they might only work with my Linen waistcoat. We'll see.

If you looks as good as Cary Grant you can get away with it anytime.
