In time, I hope to up my photography game. Meanwhile, another 'part-of-a-person' picture for today (and feedback, the good and the bad, most welcome):

Spoiler: Details here

Jacket is MTM, cloth is Harris Tweed by H&S. Like @blekit, I'm a supporter of EoE ties, hand made in Poland, though they don't get much love here. Trousers are a mid brown flannel. Wool pocketsquare by Herring Shoes. Outfit completed with full brogues/wingtips by Cheaney that I describe as dark cognac. They're stormwelted, on a dainite sole.

I thought it looked familiar. I was considering that tie last year, but never bit the bullet. I might have to find an excuse to add a few Vanda ties in my wardrobe, along with that one.

I really like the fit, but about half of the picture is of your head. Focus more on the clothes.

Do it. It's a great tie.

@An Acute Style, thanks for the tip. Duly noted.

Though, now I've focused on the clothes, I've neglected that the lapel is gaping out, due to my posture, probably. I'll keep trying to take better photos.

 

[ericgereghty]

I won't be overtly negative, since I don't know what EoE is, but I assure you Vanda is better.

 

[Epicure]

@ericgereghty, EoE is Embassy of Elegance, and not officially SF approved. As I said, @blekit and a few other members seem to enjoy their ties, as do I. For the price point I'm very happy with them. They've held up better than some other ties I've purchased at higher price points, but they're still quite new. In time, I hope to compare what the extra money spent to obtain some Vanda ties actually buys me. I know the reputation, and I've seen plenty of pictures, and to be sure they look great. The proof, as they say...

I'm struggling with the seersucker odd jacket looks. Someone change my mind.

 

[WillingToLearn]

I think the navy seersucker works as an odd jacket. Agree on the traditional blue/white striped seersucker

If nothing else, I'd recommend you try one or two, and possibly a square, and Diana and Gerald are just delightful (and talented) folks.

Outside of the occasional exception, I've essentially narrowed my Tie options to Yelloe Hook, Sam Hober, and Vanda.

It's definitely on the cards. Though I think I'll have trouble limiting myself to just one or two, even at my first purchase! Thanks for the recommendation.
