Sorry for my crappy out of focus pics but hopefully you can see well enough to answer my questions. Does the Gingham go with the tie? Would you wear a Gingham shirt with this plaid SC? The trousers are a very faint plaid and I thought I might be able to pull it off, too much plaid? Never wear plaid trousers (even faint) with a plaid jacket? Is PS totally mismatched?

From what I can see it looks great. Nice combinations. I would like to see a full shot of this outfit.
Thanks for the comment. I can't seem to get a decent full shot with my phone. I am trying to work the issue so I can post more/better in the future. I am afraid that my fits are lacking and given that I wear SC and suits only periodically, I am afraid the SF feedback will make me not want to wear what I have, and I can't invest in anything new for a while. I just bought 2 SCs, a new suit, many shirts, ties, PS', socks, and shoes totaling ~$1600, MSRP ~$4300. I might continue to live in the dark for a while and hope people around where I live/work don't notice my hopefully only slightly poor fits. I have learned a lot in the last few months on SF, and still learning.

There's too much going on here - it's dizzying to look at. Scale on everything is far too similar. A solid shirt would have made this much better.
The tie and the shoes were both sourced from Bergdorf's, and both were heavily marked down (about 60% in both cases) which appealed both to my sense of style and to my miserly sense of Yankee thrift
That's a really nice pic in general, but not so good for a critique. Can't see much of the tie, for instance, or the fit of the jacket. Slacks look a bit long, though, as do the jacket sleeves. And you seem to have lost your pocket square, young man!

Bloody typical. Once one American pulls out his sack they all feel obliged.
^^^Lufty, those shoes. Everything else looks good otherwise.
Yes, I know. They're AE Westgates that have already been through a resole. And like my captoes that received significant criticism from fritzl in the CBD thread, I walk miles in them a day, so they've aged quickly (another practical reason I prefer gunboats).
Pair that with my idiotic previously-held belief that shoe trees were not needed 100% of the time, and this is the result.

They need to go the way of your BBBF suits, and right away.
