I recently bought three skinny, flat ended, knit ties. Midnight navy, black, and chocolate brown.

I have a few questions regarding combinations with Medium brown tweed jacket, a black suit, navy blue blazer, and a dark blue pin stiped suit.

I think all three would go well with the tweed
Black suit-just the black one I think.
Navy blazer- all of them? Maybe not the brown.
Dark navy suit with pin stripes: all but the brown.

What's your opinion?

This is going to sound like I didn't read the post, but all of them could probably work with all the suits. Maybe not so much brown ties with black suits and black ties with brown jackets/suits.

But I think a navy tie goes better with a black suit than the black tie (not saying you can't use it), and brown might work well with navy depending on the shade. It reminds me of how it's currently acceptable to pair navy suits with brown belts/shoes, but I don't know about ties.

Disclaimer: I'm a noob here, but I do have exp. with wearing knit ties (love them!)

Just to nudge this thread in the right direction...
Solid black tie with a solid black suit sounds too severe, unless one is going for a punk look or something. A black tie is not compatible with much.
A brown tie almost definitely will go with a navy suit or blazer and not with a black suit.

I would say you can wear any of those with a gray suit. A black knit with a navy would be a bad choice in my opinion. I don't think black and navy should ever go together except for suit/shoes.
