Verry nice. Little more on the casual side w/ patch pockets and spalla camicia shoulder. Provides a bit of a sneak preview into how our Project Giacca SC's will turn out. I like. What fabric is that?

I am still learning texture combinations. My initial reaction is the tie texture does not work with that suit texture. Am I way off base or does it just come down to personal preference?

Edit: so basically, I like everything but the tie

I think it looks good. A wool tie could have been iffy with the flannel suit, but a knit tie works for me here. I like the three blues approach. Sometimes, simplicity is best.

For me wool tie with a flannel suit is pure win, but ymmv

 

[gdl203]

It can work but it can also look like a mushy wall of the same wooly texture everywhere.

Thanks guys. I appreciate hearing your thoughts

Hey Stitchy, like this? Soooo many ways to wear it. Sizing looks about right, eh Greg?

For me, it rolled the dice but still worked well enough to give it a good score on face value and +2 for pushing the limits.

I'm sure you're not alone in thinking less so or even "nah".

ps - and a +.25 bonus for a stock, white pocket square, even squared off.

@gdl203 - you had this shepherd check on the NMWA tumbler sometime ago. Do you know what the cloth is and do you happen to have a photo of the completed jacket?

i was struck by it as well. texturally i think its cool, but idk, it just seems less formal than everything else. then again, its kind of a spreezy look to wear a chunky knit with a suit like that. certainly a look that makes you think.

mostly this.

It can work but it can also look like a mushy wall of the same wooly texture everywhere.

and sometimes this. there are lots of wool ties with different textures out there, its a matter of picking the right one for the jacket at hand, imo.

not quite what i had in mind.

i always wear mine the same way, open or closed, and whether i am going for SWD or MC casual. the top collar down like a suit lapel, and the bottom collar popped. it makes me feel very much like dracula, and i like it!
