I am thinking of buying the following. What do you think? http://savilerow.blogs.com/.shared/i...ized/tie_1.jpg
The colors would go well with a tan suit and a pale blue shirt, but the pale blue/moss green/salmon color scheme in a classic but bland stripe pattern is a going to be overwhelmed by pretty much anything else, imo.
wondering if the tie would work with standard colored blue and grey suits with a blue shirt? Manton, 55 quid is not that cheap!
I find repp ties to school-boyish and lacking in visual intricancy. A grey suit would make this tie disappear. A nice blue suit would be ill served by tie as you will probably pair it with a solid shirt and that is just too bland for my tastes.
wondering if the tie would work with standard colored blue and grey suits with a blue shirt? If it is dove grey (i.e very light) and a really pale blue shirt, I would say, maybe (it's had to match colors without having the garments right there). I see this tie as being in no man's land. It is neither light enough nor dark enough to match strength with a darker wool suit, imo. This is a very seasonal tie. I could see it with something linen (even dark linen) or a light colored tropical wool or cotton number, but otherwise, I'd give it a pass.
A tie for less than $100 at full retail is cheap, in my book. A tan suit is best, I agree. Or some light color. I am not convinced that this tie can't work with standard grays and blues. Small check shirts would work too, though probably not stripes. I would not wear this tie in cool weather, however. It strikes me as purely seasonal.

Pearl Gray Suit Blue Seersucker is also a possibility Cream Shirt Brown and cream linen spectators Driving mocs etc.
