Yep, I would avoid a red satin tie-- much better to go with a tie that has a nice texture to it-- especially with a stripe or dot pattern, too. After that, perhaps a sharp cutaway collar shirt from Kamakura would be in order

First Post iPhone Camera Tie knot is horrendous and any tips would be greatly appreciated. I was going for a half windsor and later re-tied.

Great suit! I'm not a fan of SB peak lapels, but in a 3pc it works better. Those shoes are very nice too. I love it that they don't look new. (My old fashioned but stylish granddad always told me it was not acceptable to wear new shoes in public)

New jacket - and shirt too.
RoyAl - very nice shirt - T & A? They're the only maker whose button-cuff shirts have three buttons, hence my question . . .

Nice shirt, but it bugs me that the middle cuff button isn't exactly centered. That probably says more about me than about T&A.

The lucky part is that there is good treatment for that condition.

I can see how the stripes not being perfectly aligned here might bug some people, but the suit looks so balanced in the long shot that I doubt it's an issue in real life. I'm reminded of Jeffery Diduch's recent article on Vox's Neapolitan suit.

EDIT: And to pick up on @EliodA 's comment, the shoes are great, and I'm really surprised that pinking on an otherwise plain punchcap looks so good. The proportions are really spot on to make it work, I think.
And yesterday:


And may I ask, what cloth is this suit made from? It plays beautifully with the light, without being too shiny.

Welcome to the forum. If you can get the camera to about chest height, and face it straight on, you may be able to get some useful feedback about the fit of the suit.

As for the tie, I'm afraid I'm not a fan of red satin – it's so bold and shiny that it eclipses everything else. There's no need to tie a half-windsor, a four-in-hand is quite alright if you're more comfortable with it (personally, I think a FiH looks much better, too). The tie itself may also be troublesome.
Thanks for the advice.
