I can't imagine it going with anything I own. If anyone has suggestions on shirts/jackets, please let me know, or PM if you can give it a better home.

Call me crazy, why not a plain blue shirt?

Yeah, burgundy and gold should be fairly easy. Use wherever you might use a burgundy tie. The pattern is a large enough scale that you shouldn't run into many scale conflicts.

here goes my first Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
Sweater: Margiela - Buffalo Exchange
Shirt: Gitman Vintage - Saks Off 5th
Chinos: RRL - Marshall's
Desert Boots - Aqua (?) - Discount
All for about $100 bigstar%5B1%5D.gif

I guess the consensus was not to critique fits posted here, but I do not like this. All those pieces might be fine on their own, but they do not pair well at all.

I think they fit together just fine- it's a rather straightforward mix of earthtones, with a white shirt. I think you're probably just reacting to the sweater, which is rather bold, and I could certainly see how somebody might not like it. I kinda do, but it certainly dominates an outfit, and I probably wouldn't buy it for myself.

Eh... just ignore me. It looks moderately better on my laptop monitor which has a better white balance than my desktop monitor (which looks yellow-ish). Still not a fan, but I guess it's ok.

No, just Savers and Thrift Town, I think. I just wanted to know if it was worth fighting the crowds. There is a Shetland Eddie Bauer sweater I have my eye on so I will probably stop by anyway.

I like Jack Victor and get it for myself if it fits. It has no flippability, so far as I know, which I think is to the loss of label snobs. Dig the wedding tie, but I always wear bow ties to weddings.

I can just seem to make out T. Cruise where he obscured the label name.

I am about 20 minutes south of clearwater (the scientology capital of the world...).

 

No joke, its creepy. I will travel through downtown clearwater once in awhile, and they all look identical. White shirts, navy pants. Walk into a restaurant around there, and everyone looks at you if you don't match their cult uniform.
