Can I have some help? Which of these Bigi tie I should get or maybe both? I can't find any picture in the wild for the brown one though..

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

i prefer the navy, but you should make sure you have some gray jackets, like on that model, if that is what you go with. the brown is too dark a brown for me to love.

My jacket is more towards a mid-grey instead of the light grey as show in the pic. Will the navy pair well with it?

Yes, with mid-gray.

@in stitches
How do you like your Formosas compared to your Zegnas?
What an original question this is, huh?

When I tried on the plaid Formosa, the lapel was something that you notice right off the bat. Fabric, I don't know jack about fabric but that Formosa used H&S wool so what more can I say. My Zegnas feel light and silky. The Formosa felt light but not silky. That's all I can say.

hard to compare really. zegna has a much wider range of models, but the ones i have i am very happy with. though the construction is not what formosa is, i will say that my cashmere zegna top coat has maybe as much handworking as anything i own.

my rule is, i pretty much never rule out a brand in entirety, i find what i like from each brand that works for me. some brands have more stuff that is my jam, some less.

But I have no money to buy them right now! Also I have to save for the Omega Aqua Terra.

id honestly buy the marlows before an omega. all things considered its one of the best shoes out there. takes a helluva time to break in though, its a very thick leather.

I prefer the VASS Budapester as the best wingtip derby option
