Nice knots on the shoe laces, btw

Cheers buddy. I was mulling over between blue and white for a bit but thought white would be too boring. And thanks, haha. That's the only knot I ever learned past age 5.

I had a tan silk square that might've worked. I havent had much luck matching it before though.

More would be right in the world if people took your advice.

I probably wouldn't choose roped shoulders, but they look okay, and the suit looks good to my eyes. It's what you're currently happy with that's important though.

I don't like the tie, and I certainly wouldn't wear it for business. It might be okay with a cream linen suit for a casual event.

Big improvement on the shoes

The rest is very solid IMO.

After Manton's comments yesterday I thought I would try a purely solid fit. All solids from socks to PS (okay you could be really picky and point out there is arguably a subtle pattern to the weave of the cashmere tie):

BTW: Shirt is cream rather than white, suit is navy not black

MoK, bring back the Englishman, I much prefer your bolder looks.

I agree with Nore. I'm used to seeing you in patterns, Mok. And I think they suit you better.

PG: The last of those Carmina's lacks elegance in my opinion, the up-turned toe is a deal-breaker for me.

- I guess I just saved you $$$ - Lucky we aren't ants & apparently this happens when one buckles up as it pulls the toes..

Need to add this to the nitpicking thread.

Yeah, I think most new shoes look like that. I like those double monks, FWIW.

Is this thread really an "experiment" at this point? Perhaps an "alternative viewpoint" instead.

Too busy. The suit is very F-U, not bad, just loud. Really needs quieter accessories.

The scales of the shirt and tie patterns are also too close.

Nice shoes.
