They are fine for business, no one would blink, except maybe at the square.


Thank you.

An interesting fail, at least to me. I love this shirt with either a solid blue silk or blue pindot tie. Today, we're sitting under a marine layer, and it felt cold, so I wore a cashmere tie and the shirt looks way too vibrant. With a silk, it recedes into the background.

Manton, is that Mina's suit? Have you ordered anything else from her or are considering to do so?
