Canali or Sam Hober tie?

show them!

show them!

Haven't gone to store to see the Canali. My friend can get me 50% off, mind you in Canada prices are jacked up so it will still be around $90 I'm thinking. Sam Hober same price too. Thing is I might not have this 50% off hook up in the future so thinking maybe just get the Canali this time...

Just depends on finding a good dot pattern.

I've seen idfnl bragging he handled over 100k ties somewhere on this forum, chances are he got his hands on a big share of both. Maybe he could compared them quality wise for you if you pm him.

Nonissue for loake

Really? That welt isn't bothersome at all? I'm pretty sure that these would be seconds even by AE's standards. Loake 1880 for reference.

What a shame, exchange those shoes, Loake 1880 are good shoes.

EDIT: Post your shoes here, you might get better help. http://www.styleforum.net/t/354125/loake-appreciation-shoe-p0rn-thread/645

Which brands offer driving loafers to a reasonable price? Tod's and Car Shoe are way too overpriced. 

I got mine from http://www.andytom.com/
Stills little pricey but much less than car shoe.
I've only had them since January so can't really attest to durability but they look and wear great.

Can I wear these Cole Haan wingtips with this color suit?
I would say it is a medium gray

No, those shoes are too light for that suit.

Im in college and I have a Volleyball "Formal" party coming up. Im planning on wearing a navy jacket, Grey chambray pants, and a light pink gingham shirt. I was just wondering if there were any other colors/prints I could get away with with this other then a solid pink tie. Any help is much appreciated.

Since all your clothes are solids you have plenty of options on patterned ties. Colorwise I wouldn't go pink tie myself. Really depends on what ties you have available though!

Nice BG avatar @wojt! Really brings back memories from my youth.

Edit: Overlooked the gingham. I guess solid tie is the way to go then. Still wouldn't choose a pink tie though.

Solid navy tie, slightly darker than the blazer to avoid clash, will tone down the pink gingham and look sharp. Just what I would do, then again I wear solid navy ties with everything...

Are blue or gray MOP buttons instead of white buttons appropriate for a dress shirt or that detracts too much from formality of the shirt ? I'd wear that shirt under suit mostly.

Like InTheGroom said, if the placket won't be seen under a tie it's basically irrelevant. If wearing open collar - or especially button down - I'd say it depends on the color of the shirt, but personally I only ever go for white MOP buttons myself in that scenario. More subtle and, I suppose, arguably 'more formal'.

+1.

What are some good online places to buy Drakes ties? Sites that have a lot of variety. I need pindots.
