I should add that the industry is science / government / legislative or executive branch (but not law or banking).

I don't think you'll have a problem with any of those. They are all real-life (rather than SF) conservative.

+1 but as much as I like Steve (I have bought several items from him in the past), I wouldn't wear a suit with a red pinstripe for an interview.

It's really not necessary that belt and shoes match exactly. I'm not saying that red shoes with green belt is what you ought to be shooting for, but worrying about getting just the right amount of orange in your belt to perfectly match your walnut Cliftons isn't really required. So long as the colors are similar enough to work together harmoniously, you're probably fine. (In fact, some would maintain that such extreme attention to detail can be a negative thing, like spending 10 minutes fussily arranging a pocket square.)
Well, just a thought.

thanks, thought appreciated.

Hi my name is Kevin, I was in an Brooks Brothers outlet and i found a Makers and Merchants tie in a pile of 346's. I paid $30.00 and the price tag said $79.50. I was wondering if i got a good deal. Thank you.

Quick question, I have a charcoal suit which came with flat front pants, they are slim style pants, very slim at the bottom opening. They have a front crease down the front of each leg. It kinda interferes with the tongue/laces of the shoe and makes the pants sit a bit strange. Is there a rule or a reason that if a pair of pants came with the front crease it was made to be worn that way/or is there no issue to just simply iron the crease out of the front and either have a side crease at the hem or ??

Suit trousers should always have a crease down the front.

Hey,

Does anyone know which type of sunglasses Lil Wayne is wearing in the photos below?

Wow, thanks a lot! Appreciate that.

I've been searching forever typing in on google "fleur-de-lis glasses", etc... and had no luck

Thanks again.

Now here's my question...

First of: I am 27 and I look like someone who's 21.

For my wedding (summer, no tux) I'll be wearing; a slim 3-piece navy suit from Tiger of Sweden:



-
The vest is not shown, but everything is the same S120 Cerutti fabric.



The ? is
Will this bowtie by Collared Greens



- with the reversed green side "out" and navy down the middle,
combined with this silk pocket square from Berg & Berg ???



be too matchy and/or not give enough variation in the color palette, which is navy (suit), brown (shoes+belt) and ivory (shirt)...

I wanted to have silver and/or brown in the Bow tie/Pocket square combo, but all four colors were either impossible to find or way to busy-looking!

BTW: One of the "themes" that we have been using in invitations and decorations nature/green, so that is the reason I am rating the green combo higher than silver...


Shoes and belt for those who want to see all the details:







EDIT::
I put in the wrong belt to begin with. This is the one that matches the shoes:


The shoes and belt does have the same hue/color

More of a tailor-etiquette question:

My father ordered brown, linen MTM jacket from Sartoria Partenopea. It is too short in my opinion (but he agreed for this length - so there is nothing to do about that I guess). The main problem are the pockets though - flap instead of patched. It's their mistake. For me this is a crucial misunderstanding and I would request my money back (the down payment) - or if that is not possible, I would at least not pay the rest. What do you say? Ordering another one is not an option since they struggle to do anything right.


I guess my dad is going to pay, because he wants to avoid saying no...

I know the shoes are below SF standards - I would have liked a better sole, but I really like the design, and the future mrs. said that they were the best of the ones I had to pick from... Out of which some were suede... and most were cap toes or wingtips.....


The belt is the correct width for a "dress" belt. It is not "streetwear" size...
