Denim works surprisingly well too. Cream/beige is nice too. Middling shades of grey flannel or donegal aren't enough of a contrast though.

Thanks for the info. I was thinking of this in terms of a more casual jacket, likely to be worn with jeans (or cords) - looks like a good choice to me:)

Agreed that the suit is awesome. I don't think the shirt is a problem, it's the tie that doesn't work for me. But then I am not a fan of Holdfast's tie collection in general...

Holdfast's tie collection is awesome! The problem is that it just works for him, but it works well

One day I'm going to photograph them all in a single pic. It will be a wonderful sight. Sort of like Pollock, yet even more gloriously reminiscent of vomit.

You lot have had some influence on my tie collection though: I'm currently selling a solid black satin, a lurid Joker shade of green, and a solid bright white one... get them while they're still retina-searingly fresh.

Thanks, I had doubts about the PS too, but I felt the gold detail would make the outfit a little less sober.

Thanks, I can imagine your surprise, but the tie is a navy grenadine with white stripes. Here's a closeup:
