Solid navy, or a subtle navy patterned tie should go well with the shirt.

Oh yeah~ I can breath now. Thanks!

 

[othertravel]

Much much better.

Don't hate the tie, hate the shirt.

I think it has far too much going on for a dress shirt. Whereas either of those ties would work beautifully with, say, a white or light blue solid, or a navy bengal stripe, and many more.

The shirt could be worn casually, probably with no tie, or with a knitted plain one, jacket and jeans. Or, alternatively, it could just be burned and written off as experience. I think that might be my vote, but then it's not my shirt.

Ah~ Here is the historical account of this shirt.
I bought this shirt when I was working at a business casual work place so the shirt could be worn with a pair of black slacks with no prob.
Now, I work at a suit and tie only work place and thought I mix this shirt into my rotation. Also, I cannot burn a shirt that I dropped three benjies on (IDIOT). It's Zegna and I liked it so I just laid down.

Agree with you that the shirt is the problem as far as dress shirts go. Would work OK with business casual, but that would still be pushing it.

I'm getting a plain white shirt from ModernTailor but I'm not sure which collar I should go with.
I have an average to long face and my neck is 15 cm. This white shirt will mainly be for job interviews (in Australia) but I'd also like to wear it unbuttoned occasionally if possible.

Should I go with a medium cutaway?

The shirt's fine; just keep the tie solid navy or with a subtle pattern.

Keep it for casual if you can't bring yourself to burn it. Or there is always charity. In extremis, keep it for casual! But either way, the lesson learned is "don't ever buy the label".

YES! I am a homer for labels! Okay, so the shirt cannot be worn with navy blue suit? I think I can make it work but I agree that it just has too much crap going on in the patterns. LML

Used Allen Edmonds seconds for $160. I really want to pull the trigger but I don't have a chance to try them on. I can always sell them, right?

 

[aravenel]

Seems high for used seconds. I usually see things like that go for closer to $100-$125 on eBay.

Spoiler

Seems less than stellar when you can get new seconds for $200 - $240, sometimes less.

Any name for a coat or blazer that is unfinished on the ends and have the seams facing out?

Unwatchable?

Hello, I was wondering about suit fabrics. I'm sure the information I'm looking for is somewhere on SF, but haven't been quite able to find it. With regards to quality, durability, wrinkle resistance, and breathability, is Zegna worth it, over Lesser, Dugdale, etc? Where does VBC stand in this?
