J: can you help me pick out some fabric 1 for a suit? I'm going to get one made for a friend's wedding.

R: sure. What kind of material do you want for the suit to be made from?

J: it depends on the price, but I was thinking of getting a wool/cashmere blend 2.

R: that will probably be quite expensive, but the more you pay for the fabric, the longer it'll last and the better it'll look. What color do you want the suit to be?

J: I was thinking of a brown pin-striped suit.

R: brown, huh? Isn't that a bit dull?

J: haven't you heard? Brown is the new black.

R: why don't you just get black? Black suits are always fashionable and can be worn for anything—a funeral, a wedding, a job interview—anything!

J: that may be true, but black is so boring. Anyway, I already have three black suits. I might as well get a suit that stands out from the rest.

R: here are two different shades of brown. Which one do you prefer?

J: I like the one on the left, but I don't like the pattern on it. It's too much. I want a pattern that's a bit subtler 3.

R: how about this one?

J: I think that will do. Let's go talk to the tailor about getting it made.

R: ok, let's go.
