No, it's because it's ancient madder silk. They are, by nature, washed out in appearance.

Example of a good red tie from Vox:

I don't claim to be an authority on anything, but I personally don't like his outfit there for a lot of reasons. Vox doing it doesn't make it infallible. Manton, maybe.

What are the other reasons?

Lovely, DerekS!

Would have gone with lighter grey trousers to balance out the pocket square a bit personally.

I've always wondered, how do you guys determine fit when all you see is barly half of his torso, a raised arm, and a cockeyed tie? Because to my eye, the right shoulder, which is all you can see in this picture really, looks to be a little large. But it could be how he's holding the camera.

Shoulder extension (up to a certain point, obviously) is a stylistic choice. Really, it doesn't seem excessive in that picture. Fit is determined by whether the armhole sits at the right place or not.

I very rarely think you are wrong, but here, I have to say that you are. It's a simple, classic combination anchored by a beautifully-made suit. The outrageous lining is something that, in general, only the wearer will know about and enjoy. I really don't see how you can have a problem with the suit. The only thing I think you are correct about is the braces - but then, like the lining they aren't supposed to be seen either.
