RogerC@638. Too much going on. That tie need s a more somber surrounding. The problem is twofold: everything else competes with it, and the dominant yellow blends in too much with the jacket ground. That is an ideal blazer tie. Replace that tie with a dark knit or solid shantung and you are fine. Square is no good though.


Thanks. Which pocket square would be better, solid cream silk? Churchill dot?

This is so awesome I wanna puke :D
Rubinacci pic...these stripes, and indeed everything here save the wrist raff, are absolutely perfect for me:

actually now that i look at it maybe the square a little matchy with the tie...but I forgive it due to awesomeness of suit, tie, and shirt.

I don't like this one bit. And the mere glance at the silly wristbands rings the bad taste alarm for me.

Too busy for me, Butler. Every pattern is very tight. If you swapped out the tie for something closer to a solid, I think this could be really nice.

I don't mind the suit fabric although I wouldn't wear it and the tie color is nice but it's another one if these outfits where you try to fit any as many igent affectations as you can (beads, double FIH, peacocky square), you know the back blade is his tie is longer than the front without even looking at it and something tells me there's loafers down below. All that combined with a very businessy suit for me is a strike.

Butler, I like and appreciate your style. There is a pic in here somewhere of you in an olive green rig which I thought was awesome even if I despise olive suits. You made it work as you do with most of your fits. Bravo.
