^ Just looked again at your fit. Next level pattern mixing there, really looks sharp. Gnatty, that SC looks luxurious. Need to kop.

Here's a discussion on the military background of the different styles (including a good joke at the end of the discussion).

And the Source of Truth says:

Typically, American striped ties have the stripes running downward from the wearer's right (the opposite of the European style). However, when Americans wear striped ties as a sign of membership, the European stripe style may be used.

Then it has done its job.

Thanks Mike - And your Sartoria suit today is IMO one of your best posts to date. Fit, combo, pic quality - all win. Deets on the tie? I love it.

Its unorthodox, but thats why I like it.

Huntington is really all you need, theres nothing else worthwhile unless you do East Hampton.

Spoo - I don't know if I'm going out tomorrow, so if not, consider this my entry to this week's outerwear contest, if an early entry is within the rules!

Thanks C - and noted on the contest entry.

The scarf is hella nice and the breast pocket on the SC is friggin gorgeous.

Sadly, no. I have a similar pair of TF, but never tried to put them together, it would not look right im sure.

Bring it big to follow this up tomorrow!

Are you traditionally a SW&D poster? If so, you probably could have won the SWD does MC challenge with this. Very nice, and the BV case is super.

Thanks! Yes I am SWD but occasionally lurk MC. I will see if I can cook up something for the next SWD/MC challenge . . .

Nice, DLester. And the right buttons of the cardigan open.

Another arguement for the cardigan--a must have in every wardrobe. Classy unbuttoning of the top and bottom. The color of the sweater is enhanced by the wall in the background.
