Very nice colors and details, Alan. Please post this in Manton's new conservative business dress thread!

Happy Monday to all!

Nice arm accessory.

Thanks, she usually makes me look more dressed up haha! not sure how to make the pic larger... My next photos will be posted properly, I assure you I have more tech savvy than my Grandmother

I think this would be the only case where Foo did not approve of a white square.

I think Matt, Parker and Natty had good suggestions.

Here is my 2 cents:

-This jacket requires a blue shirt with a lot more of a blue color. The chambray suggestion would be my #1 choice followed by a blue OCBD or medium blue end-on-end. The lighter blues look washed out and don't compliment the rich colors of the rest of your outfit.
-The solid purple tie doesn't work here, probably because it is solid and looks "flat"
-I have a similar colored green jacket but without the purple. I wear it with a deep muted copper colored twill silk tie with woven small gold and rust dots. Copper and heather greens usually compliment each other very well. It's all about working with muted earth tones and subtle highlights.
-I wear it with a navy pocket square that has a complex pattern of small amounts of muted golds, burgundy, brown, rust and tan.
-The green pants and green jacket are too close in color. Solid medium grey pants will always look great with this. Tan pants could look nice as well.

Perhaps I can shoot a pic using my jacket and show you what I mean when I have daylight.

I like the top pic. The blue shirt is much better than the pale blue from the day before. The shirt and the pocket square are also much better than when you wore it with the mix of colors and the loud yellow sweater shown in the spoiler:

The green pants (below) might be too much green. Usually you want more contrast. Parker is an excellent example of this) I would wear medium grey, khaki twill wool pants or jeans. I really like the shoes with this outfit but would change the socks to coordinate with other pants.

Do you know the details on the pants in the 3rd and 9th pictures? They fit you amazing and I've been searching desperately for a good, comfortable, slim white pair of slacks....

Bunch of great fits though, man!

Just my thoughts. :^)

I like the spirit of your reply.

This shirt and tie combination is kind of wild, but I like it much. The cardigan and pants provide the perfect foil to the brilliant plaid.

The rich textures and colors of the coat and shirt are picked up beautifully in this excellent photo. But, as is typical of your posts, it is the pocket square that steals the attention. Very dapper.

Because the jacket is so informal, jeans are a bad choice.
