Keep the jacket and tobacco monks but team them with white shirt and pocket square, charcoal tie and grey wool pants several shades between tie and jacket.

Kulata, Red Devil - killing it.
I had to give a lecture to some visiting Chinese surgeons today, so I decided to break out a special suit.
In line with recent advice from respected co-contributors, I toned everything else down. Hence, plain white oxford-weave shirt; plain white Irish linen square in a TV fold; shoes are a little outré but only if you look at them carefully.
Apologies for crappy pic quality - taken at dusk.
Big thanks to @conradwu for the shantung tie, @Henry Carter for the square, and @steveyoo1983 (Gentleman's Footwear) for the lizard monkstraps.
I do not understand why everyone does not post up full fit pix. You can make all the excuses in the world but if I was able to do it then anybody can do it on their phones. I am not too fond of these close up shots with no full fit pix.
Maybe someone should create a tutorial about how to take menswear selfies. Looking at you Noodles.Ideally, everyone should post professional quality full fit pics, but realistically, its not that simple. Id rather a nice top block and bottom block pic, than a crappy, poorly lit, wrongly angled, dirty mirror, full pic.
Also, this topic has been talked to death already. But its slow lately, so what the hell.
I have a few suggestions, but I'd like to point out they are all minor. I think toning everything down works well here.
1. As is, I would suggest a brick red tie rather than brown. Given the brown of the suit, making the tie brown as well is sort of losing me in a sea of brown. I think a brick red tie remains in the palette by picking up on the overcheck, is still subtle and a "standard" choice, and breaks up the jacket and tie a bit in terms of color. I think the overall effect would be positive.
2. You may reconsider the white spread collar with this suit. Brown jacket or trousers typically looks better with a blue shirt to begin with, but add to the fact that this fabric is so rustic and I think blue would do a lot better. I would prefer a blue ocbd to the white spread collar here, and I don't even really like ocbd with a suit to begin with. If you swapped
3. Given the above (point 2), I would prefer cream silk to white linen for the square.
