Great SC and tie. I like the shirt, but for me the stripes are too close in scale to the herringbone weave.

Lovely suit and I like the choice of tie and shirt. The gap above the knot is distracting though.

Shirt collar aside, I like this a lot. Nice tie.

Great stuff UC, I find the pants to be a bit big however. If I'm not mistaken those are 'Preston' from polo, I end up having to taper below the knee on these pants to acheive the look that I like.

I'm considering a very similar fabric for a navy sportcoat to be made up with MOP buttons for the summer.

I think I have that same tie, TRINI. If not, very close.

Also wearing navy herringbone today.

I'll wager you're not wearing Allen Edmonds monks.

I'm going to pile on another positive comment, this is a great look Trini!

Whats the deal with your ties they're all loose despite what appears to be a well fitting collar.
