Do that. I just think you're ruining otherwise nice shirts by wearing those ties.

Is the purple tie from Lewin? I doubt you care, but I wear a lot of solids. All three of those shirts lends themselves to something solid, or at least to something very neat.

I'm rather fond of the first two combinations. The bottom, not so much. Also, I think the dog bone links get lost in the shirt pattern, but I like them.

No they're both by Cravats. OK, you like solids. I don't really like them unless they have a self pattern or texture, and then it's arguable that they aren't really solids. Do you consider this a solid?

i think you're right that that shirt tends to bury the bone. I engage in some trial and error with the cufflinks I own and I understood that the English liked sterling cufflinks when I set that photo up . But then, The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

I like that tie. I guess you have to burn it now. Or, you could just send it to me.
