How do you like those Alden's NYR? I'm thinking of ordering a pair, how do they run size wise?

I love the idea of a gingham SC!

(Man, can I get one in blue?!)

Yes, J. Crew makes one. A friend has one.

Still too hot to start wearing warmer fabrics but *damn* I wanted to wear that tie. So I went ahead anyway...

I think that's the iGent way of saying PICS OR GTFO. Because, you know, you have to prove yourself to internet strangers or something.

If you get in the SF time machine, you will find that most of Matt's (buttoned) "fits" are stellar. The others can be a bit hairy.

Damn. I forgot to use the Official SF Sarcasm Font. Fixed:

I got the sarcasm. BTW, as to your question above -- yes, small gingham (or houndstooth) is better than what it looked like in the pic. Experiment with larger gingham as well. it's one of my favorite fabrics.

I've been considering a dark red or gray gingham for my next shirt order. Perhaps I'll give it a whirl.

Good to see you again, Mike.

AJV, everything looks good, but the black turtleneck is jarring.

NYR, I think a dark grey tie would be better.

Guys, thanks for all your input and thumbs up on the suit today. Also glad to see MB back in the mix and some real action on the thread!

all sorts of awesome

Thank you.

Dig looking good man. Comfort > aesthetics. Can't tell it's vibram from the photos. ndw this is much better than that ultra-popular flecked purple tie and grey striped flannel suit you had on a few pages back that people went nuts for. Both of those pieces are nice on their own and with other items, but not together. Today is a much more harmonious look.

You know what? I agree with this. It might seem a little sad, but I have trying to work out for a couple of days why I didn't share the general opinion on ndw's previous fit. I couldn't work out what it was that others were seeing that I wasn't, so I said nothing, but it is basically what you say here. I loved the components, but not in combination, in fact while the textures were awesome, I didn't think the colour of the tie worked with the jacket at all. This time, the components, the texture, colour, are almost perfect.

Thanks for the critique. I agree the donegal purple tie and gray combo wasn't anything special, but I do like purple and gray together. And, Flying monkey - you should not take this website too seriously and really just pick and choose what you like and not what others go crazy for.

Another new suit. What do you think? Aside from a few small tweaks, I'm extremely happy with it.

I like it. Tonight. Same old. Tie is dark green.

Details on SC?

Great jacket, tie and shirt but I think the shirt and the jacket have way too much plaid/grid going on. How about a solid blue OCBD with that jacket and tie?
