Very nice suit, @Coxsackie! And footwear goes with it perfectly. Not sure about the choice of tie here, though it's a lovely tie by itself.

@sugarbutch those chukkas are great!

This is what I was thinking. Shirt is awesome, the tie too but not paired together. Sorry justin.

For what it's worth, I think @justinkapur
's (very nice) shirt and (very nice) tie don't work together not just because of pattern scale, but also because the saturation and value between the ground of the tie and the stripe of the shirt are too similar.


No need to be sorry gents. I appreciate the feedback. I was thinking of wearing a knit tie but last minute decided against it.

same fit but in action.
I didn't love the suit in the stills, but it shows to much better effect in the video. Nice tune, too. It would seem that your drummer was dressed for a different gig, though... :D

@in stitches , that is a very "slimming" suit! And a great colour.

Your wish is my command.
My affinity (bordering on fetish) for gun club check is going inSANE right now. I freaking WANT that suit. I tried it on in the NY store. Sadly, their trousers are way, way, way too slim cut for my frame. (prolly would have gone solid tie myself, but ymmv)

Funny thing is, I really like the tie with the suit. I know there's a bit of pattern clash - but hey, when did I ever let that cramp my style?
