Sorry budgie, all ties will be made under my own label. Where possible everything will be under my own label. The socks are a bit difficult to make myself and the mins are too high for custom label though.

The maker I use in Italy are a small family owned company and I have a great relationship with them which in the short term I have no plans to change. They also make some ranges for the likes of Polo Ralph Lauren and Brioni to give you an idea of quality levels. They don't do much in the way of knit ties without high mins though so that maybe something else I explore in coming seasons.

I just bought a pretty non-conservative tie (for some reason, just looking at it makes me smile) and was wondering what you'd pair this with. Based on meeting some of you yesterday, I think a lot of guys here already have a pretty well developed sense of what works.

 

My thought was to make sure everything else I wear is plain so as not to compete with the tie, e.g. navy suit, white/light blue shirt and white or other plain pocket square similar to how a patterned jacket can be worn with the Italian background.

 

I'll obviously experiment when it arrives but thought I'd throw it out to the group and get your thoughts.

My thoughts would be much like yours. Keep everything else plain (or perhaps a subtle stripe) and perhaps pick out one colour of the tie as a solid plain square just to anchor it in the ensemble a bit.

It looks very similar to this Drakes tie (maybe a little fuller pattern) - http://ethandesu.tumblr.com/post/10238182143/floral-drakes-at-the-armoury So here are a few outfit ideas -

Nice to know, Lennier. I'll give this a go when I get the tie.

I can attest to the quality of these ties when I have worn the one I have to work blokes and the misses have complemented on how stylish it looks.

Also interesting extended article in the Fin magazine today on the state of Australian fashion.

Gerry nice tie, but it is pretty loud! If it's too loud for a suit/jacket, I'd try it with a shirt and v-neck jumper. If you're only showing the knot + a little more in the 'V' then you can get away with a more colorful tie I think (I do this with paisley ties).

Thanks, Toby! In the worst case, I can always use it for Easter eggs smile.gif

Yes I think Gerry's on the right track. I think the tie would work best with a pale blue shirt and navy suit. A white shirt would be too high contrast for my taste.

Would love it if someone in Australia wore this.

Ah, but I'm wearing this today as a 3 roll 2. Since winter hasn't quite started yet, I felt linen would be ok

Linen for whenever, tweed for whenever...

Love it. Wear what works and what looks good.
