Too many patterns to be in good taste & probably not loud enough for pea-cocking?
New tie from Vanda, made to order by Gerald & Diana, extra, extra long & just a smidgen wider than their standard model.

I don't think the rainbow look is requisite for peacocking, Theo. If you were wearing one of your hats today, it certainly qualifies, IMO.

All the items are great, and I especially love that suit.

I agree with those arguing for black shoes with this look. Brown suede with that plaid is great too, of course, but if you're going for that a little more warmth is needed in the shirt/tie to compensate for it I think. Nitpicking, because I really like all the items!

newton, bernoulli, clapeyron we could get some serious engineering done in here...

Newton's place is now either Hackett or Pink I think. You could engineer some damage to your wallet, I suppose! :)

Continuing my light-coloured tie saga...

edit: the suede issue is sartorial nitpick, but the trousers issue is really visible

One of your few misses TTO. Too much going on ... and the color saturation between the tie and suit in particular throws it off IMHO.
