I would not call that tie particularly casual, but I would say that brown shoes would have rounded out the ensemble better.


Yeah, should have had that pair of dark oaks I guess. It's on the list, but a couple of others coming up first! :D (Dover, some single monk and a black full brogue!)
Appreciate the feedback. One of the main reasons I'm posting.

You need to pick up your photo game, Gino. I see no graffiti backgrounds.

I'm kidding by the way.

Nice ensemble. I like how the colors play off the sandy neutrals of the background (save for the graffiti pic). I know the goal is the fit, but there is also the undeniable aspect of the quality of the portrait that may deserve comment. A man and his outfit are not seen by the world in a vacuum. Rather, he is een in a context, against the backdrop of the world around him. I believe that one of the goals, and perhaps the foundation, of sartorial elegence is making the world around us a more beautiful place.

Whoa, I really like that tie.


Agreed, very nice. @EliodA Is this the ET rust donegal? Would love details on shirt as well (note I eschewed the use of "deets" here, in light of recent convo, er, conversation regarding goofy expressions and abbreviations currently in use). Closeups of each would be most welcome, if it's not too much trouble.

Really well put together, overall.

Thank you, gentlemen.
The donegal tie is from Moessmer, Northern Italy. Got it on Ebay for $7.00

Thanks, love both. Tie is obviously an insane value (guessing you posted that one in the "I just got a deal" thread, or whatever the heck its called; if not, you should), and the shirt is classically elegant with enough visual interest to avoid being too conservative business dress conservative. The fact it's a Kiton is not too shabby either, but what's in a name? ;)
