Big mate of mine getting married in September so we've been away this weekend to Chester races! (stag do and my head hurts....)

Here's Aiden in his best bib and tucker! (His outfit was bought at a local charity shop and was perfect to get him into restricted areas whilst still attracting curious looks!!!! @aidenmurfin )

I have a Chipps garza fina grenadine in rust which looks very similar to Don's tie. Eric, if you're looking for one, Mr Winston has recently got his grenadines up on the website and they are very decently priced at around $50.

Great jacket Justin

Don i am not sure if it is the posture or pants need a little pull in at the leg area and the sleeves a little pull in too!! Other than that this is a really beautiful suit and the color combination is just exceptional!! (btw the color of the suit match perfectly with your tones)

Tie knot is horrendous and any tips would be greatly appreciated. I was going for a half windsor and later re-tied.

Welcome to the forum. If you can get the camera to about chest height, and face it straight on, you may be able to get some useful feedback about the fit of the suit.

As for the tie, I'm afraid I'm not a fan of red satin – it's so bold and shiny that it eclipses everything else. There's no need to tie a half-windsor, a four-in-hand is quite alright if you're more comfortable with it (personally, I think a FiH looks much better, too). The tie itself may also be troublesome.

What I wore for our Special Service for our church's 101st anniversary. I'm always in a white shirt and grey or blue suit because it's my uniform. I apologize if it's not too exciting...
