Very nice! I have a black linen suit being made right now. I decided not to give B&B that extra 20% from VAT.
I don't judge at all. I bit my tongue through the entire payment process. You probably already saw my assessment on the B&B thread.

That's an old one from Charles Tyrwhitt, they don't carry that colour anymore as it was a seasonal product. Their grenadine ties are excellent and produce excellent knots.
You might also check out the grenadine ties on the Sam Hober website. They're all custom made to your specs (length, width, lining, etc.) and cost only $21 more than Tyrwhitt's ready-made version. Not sure what color you're looking for, but Hober offers an extremely wide range of both color and thickness of the weave. They're also super-fast with production and their customer service is superb (send them an email anytime of day or night and you'll hear back from the owner in an hour or two!). Love their ties and get tons of compliments on them.

lol understood. probably should have doubled the knot.

Glad I brought some mirth to your day.

I'm afraid that doubling the knot won't help much. The knot looks fine, just the way it is, and double wrapping will only shorten each end an inch or so at most. (The default tie position is for it to fall somewhere on the waistband of the pants.)

Not sure how tall you are, but I have troubles with standard ties and have been getting most of mine custom made at Sam Hober. You get to choose your exact specs on length, width, lining, keeper/no keeper, tipping, etc.—and all at a price that's roughly the same as a ready-made department store tie. Might want to check them out.

Looks like David has your fit nailed down. Great suit

According to the weather forecast it's going to be cloudy and rainy today, so 16-17°C (60-62°F), decided towear something a touch heavier. Hoe the weather forecast doesn't trick me

Excellent use of dark gray trousers. Great pairing up top.

As someone who used to do graphic design and photography, the quality of my pictures from the iPhone Xr irks me deeply lol.

I hope you plan to shorten the sleeves on the jacket. Nice neutral color palette. Tie is too long IMO.

For the first time in like 12-14 years I went to work without jacket and tie. But the heat is insane today. Had the linen shirt made for me, not so happy with the fit.
