@savvysartorial what knot do you use?

Four in hand! Always four in hand. I am left handed so my knot may look a bit unique.

Still trying to perfect my dimple. Just started making them 2-3 months ago.

It looks exactly like a 4 in H. Slender, slightly asymmetric.
Nice dimple, too

Thank you, kind sir! I always wondered in my left handedness caused the four in hand to be reversed versus a "regular" rightie four in hand.

Sometimes when I am rushing in the morning, the dimple doesn't come out how I want it to! The post before that one had a dimple off to one side.

I wish I'd had brown ties a long time ago!

What jacket did you wear with those pants?

I didn't wear a jacket! However, I could see a blue sport coat or camel hair jacket going nicely with the pants.

which tie is that? a diamond weave?

Grenadine fina! The second finest weave. I'm interested in the finest weave as well; piccola, I believe.

Planning to order a tie from these guys in the near future. Any tips or advice?
I want a grenadine. My width is about 3 1/8 inches and length 56-58 inches.

Order some extra swatches with that order and you will be off to the races.

Here's a piccola. Highly recommend it.

Though I LOVE that silvery grenadine you posted, I think I'd suggest wearing that with more formal outfits. I have a picture of what I believe is the same silk (competing SF merchant...so won't post), and I think that tie is just the bees knees for conservative business dress attire.
