I like your thinking. I haven't tried cream yet. I'm considering the cream cashmere that Simon C refers to in this post:
http://www.permanentstyle.co.uk/201...-teasels-and-cream-cashmere.html#.VGIZavlwvYg


Cream might work, but -- and I think you agree -- I don't think silk is the way to go with all that texture. How about dots, blue on gray? Something like this.

Or this:

If you're going to go silk, I've had reasonable success with very muted, chalky dark ancient madder paisleys on patterns.

Good call on the CJP. I would have given it to myself.

And once again, I want to thank Elio and Cleav and anyone else I missed (I know DonC was helping out there a while back) for keeping this thread up and running and humming. Y'all have taken something I was doing alone and made it a group endeavor. Truly fantastic.

My green Donegal tweed suit - the light wasn't good when I got home. The fabric really needs to be seen properly and the light wasn't doing it any justice. I wasn't happy with most of the shots but I think these came out quite well:

I especially like the first one, a shame we can't see more details. The suede color looks amazing, who made these?
Why? Chalk and suede is effing great.

Good stuff on the last few pages.

Not to resurrect a dead discussion, but I remember some talk a while back about large paisley prints. I happen to have one, and while it's not terribly versatile, I think it can work when properly deployed. Here's my best effort.


1000


So many people looking great these last few pages: Clags, kulata, Suge, Chocsosa, Cotton D, Flying M, and Cleav to name just a few. Great work gents. My favorite, however, is Urban Composition. So glad you're posting a little more over here again.

So as not to annoy Stitchy, I will not classify my fit today. What is not seen is the damage done to my pants by the dry cleaner that I noticed on the drive in to work this morning!! I have noticed that I am reaching for this Henry Carter tie very frequently. I need to temper that a little, but it also means I need to buy more from Jason.


















Wednesday, paisley, and the Westminster Hymnal.









All Eidos with Belgian hooves.

People's Choice: Gerry N (36)
Elio's Jury Prize: grade (love the paisley)
Claghorn's Jury Prize: Clags (superb SC)
Honourable Mention: clarinetplayer's purple tie & Don C's colours and patterns

To stand out I use Jack as a secret weapon.
Plan was to shoot in the countyside with a 12 gauge and Le Chameau wellies. But I had to settle with tweed in the city.

How to bring the sun out from behind the clouds in Melbourne: go for a walk wearing tweed.

How to make it go disappear? Go inside again.

Huge honour for me, the Club has invited me to be their Captain for 2015! I am deeply humbled, honoured and incredibly excited at the prospect. The Duchess and the Flower Garden are as proud as I am.

Complete surprise, in that only the past Captains decide.

I was invited to the Club yesterday -




@SpooPoker Love the jacket, superb as ever

@Newcomer Excellent

Showing how one waited for a telephone call before the invention of mobile telephones whilst wearing a Brooks Brothers brown herringbone tweed jacket (part of the three piece suit that I got at the Brooks Brothers store on Post and Grant in San Francisco in the Fall of 1965), Brooks Brothers yellow and white University stripe OCBD, and repp tie, Tommy Hilfiger yellow cotton sweater vest, Jim Thompson pocket square, Orvis cord trousers, Gold Toe Argyle socks, and Allen-Edmonds brown grain Kiowas.......


This time the too long blades are tucked. :)

Photoshoot for my wife's first batik collection.
No budget (yet), so it's a 100% DIY operation for now.
Obviously, tie & shirt choice weren't mine! Fun to do, though.

Man, I love autumn/winter. Flannel and the matte bourette silk of the tie is just perfect.

Back to boring and the maiden voyage of my new wool herringbone tie.



Worn for church.. channeling EFV, Anden and AAS on this one..
