Quick question, what is Horween Chamois made out of? Is it an actual Chamois (kind of like a deer) or some kind of cow?

Can I get some votes for left, right or neither?

I think a maroon or burgundy would look really good with that combination.  They're essentially darker shades of pink and so it would add a feel of 'monochratic' to the whole outfit.  Would look really good.  When you are having trouble matching colors - use this color wheel below - it always helps.  Designers have been using the color wheel forever.  Use colors that are directly across from the color that you want to match with, colors in the same slie of the pie or colors that form an equilateral triangle with the color that you want to match with.

This helps balance warm and cooler colors, or balances colors within the same spectrum, adding a tint or shade to a color to mix and match.

Assuming the colour you want to match with is red, is the following correct?

Use colors that are directly across from the color that you want to match with: green, mint, olive

colors in the same slice of the pie: pink, maroon

colors that form an equilateral triangle with the color that you want to match with: yellow, blue

You can wear a tie with that shirt no problem. the problem is the plaid shirt, WITH the plaid suit. If you have a solid suit I would go with that and it will make picking out a tie easier. A solid wine or a grenadine. Even a blue would work.

I'm thinking about this Brooks coat when it goes on sale. Would that be a good deal for $560?

It may be a good deal. I never buy an overcoat without trying it on. Companies will charge a lot of money for a very nice coat on the outside, and an uncomfortable interior. I bought an overcoat for around that money once and returned it after the first time wearing it with a short sleeve shirt. I would go to a brooks brothers, maybe a j. crew or something. I would look online for overcoats in your price range and then go to the stores.

Navy is a good choice to go with anything, I actually think grey goes better with anything.
