^^ who dat? ^^

guy in blue shorts?

The postman.

Thanks so much! I found the jacket on ebay, they seemed to be a store and may have it in your size. corneliani brown windowpane I believe was the name of the listing. It was very inexpensive for the quality and the fabric is absolutely stellar in person.

It's an odd jacket, which I wore some dark jeans with. I was thinking that a light blue oxford would help soften the contrast somewhat...are lighter colored ties generally more appropriate for cream jackets?

the piano guy is the postman?

thanks, ill check it out.

 

I'm useless with any jeans-related fit as everyone else here will gladly affirm, but FWIW I think dark jeans and a cream jacket is a nice combination and in that context, the strong contrast between the black knit/white shirt seems just fine.

 

In fact, I greatly prefer a white shirt with a black knit tie to your thought of using a blue oxford with it instead.

 

I also believe that both dark and light ties can work with cream jackets; it just creates a different effect so depends on other elements of the outfit as which work best in any given look.

Thanks for the feedback, Holdfast. I appreciate your thoughts. I don't particularly like the fit of the jeans I had on, which is why I didn't do a full length shot. I hadn't really thought about how necessary just the color is in terms of balance.

FWIW, the tie is navy, hence the light blue shirt idea. If it was a black knit, I would definitely keep the white.

had to wear a sportcoat today so I went gdl (tatersall/check shirt, soild tie)

That's a good look, Ed.
