Just bought a blue stripe Washington from SS and require some assistance in tie matching. Since it's textured, I was assuming something of the deonegal variety instead of smooth silk, though I'm just pulling from what I've seen here and online. Help! (possibly threw this in the wrong thread!)

Tough to see from the picture. Is that a winter weight suit?

Obviously you're going to be good with shades of both blue and grey (or even blue-grey), but red would also work against this. A wool tie would be good too, in reds to browns. As an idea, generally.

Ended up getting a woven wool blue, but I think I'm going to experiment with a shade of red, maybe grenadine sort of deal? It's a winter-ish weight, I';d say closer to summer though.

That's a good choice too. The wovens are quite nice and could go with that is it summer/ is it winter look to this one.
