[mak1277]

So, I come home with this cotton SC, My first one - Ever! She says, Do you really need another Jacket?
I answered, Well Yes! The "Influencer" He Made Me Do It! She said, Who Is The "Influencer"

You Know, The "Influencer", An Acute Style...

great knot!

 

[Eli Curt]

Just to pick two examples from back to back posts from earlier today, take a look at @upr_crust (who I'm pretty sure tied a half windsor, but please correct me if I'm wrong) vs. @An Acute Style . I think the former knot looks better than the latter. A little thicker/bigger knot is a winner in my book.

You're also comparing Charvet to, perhaps, Ralph Lauren? Charvet will always tie a thicker knot. FiH looks better. You simply prefer thicker silk in this instance.

I prefer a fatter more equilateral knot vs. a longer skinnier FIH knot.

Keep the moustache, throw away that tie

The tie is fine. It just shouldn't be used as shown.

The weather continues to be dry, if not sunny today, and pleasantly warm. To that end, I've donned a tropical-weight suit, with which I am wearing loafers (gasp!), for two very fine reasons. First, they are Alden shell cordovans, and I've not worn them in a long time, and second, I am seeing my alterations tailor later on today, and will be trying on the two suits I left with him to alter, thus needing footwear that was easy-on, easy-off.

Note also, for those debating four-in-hand vs. half-Windsor tie knots, that today's tie is tied in a double FIH, as opposed to yesterday's half Windsor - both ties being Charvets.

Suit - Paul Stuart/Phineas Cole
Shirt and braces - Brooks Brothers
Cufflinks - Benson & Clegg, London
Pocket square - vintage no name brand
Shoes - Brooks Brothers/Alden shell cordovan
Face mask - New & Lingwood
