"Standard" includes ties, pocket squares, and the sometimes non-silk silk knots. To the poll!

Would you count ascots as "ties"? Do silk or silk-blend jackets count? Please clarify.

Ascots are whose idea of standard?

Better question on jackets - if the silk is enough for you to notice, then it counts as a aYes.

I bought a silk shirt on sale about three years ago but never wore it, mostly because it was hard to match with trousers. Other than ties, I don't have anything else that's silk. I like silk jackets but don't own any currently.

I have a couple of silk shirts, and silk blend shirts. They are pretty nice, but a little too close fitting, so I don't wear them often

Motion for a move to dumb threads.
