What is bold about using a silk knit tie? That tie doesn't work well with the outfit.

Bold (semi-facetiously) being blue shirt + black tie...not something I see myself being comfortable doing, though your blue tux shirt does lend some steel to the idea.
Out of curiosity, why do you consider the black grenadine a good tie for the look? I agree with you that it is, but it doesn't strike me as distinctly different from a relatively slubby raw silk.

Sometimes a dull look is intentional, and meh, shirts wrinkle. Not really going to sweat it by day's end.

And for the love of all that is holy, @ericgereghty, you have far too many expensive ties to not be able to knot them properly.

Vandas practically dimple themselves in the right place so I can only assume you're purposely trying to make Gerald look bad. Are you? ARE YOU?

Ironically, I struggle most properly knotting my Vandas. A me thing, not a G thang, to be sure.

Vanda knots are best knots

YH takes a backseat to no maker in knot-ability, and I’ll fight anyone who says different

Great combo. I think the tie is subpar. I think the pattern is too busy for the jacket.

Damn, really love that tie @MarkWinter[/QUOTE]

Thanks, we might still have one online.

Was interviewed for an executive position yesterday. Not really sure I'll take the job if offered it, but it was a good opportunity to break out this suit (wore it with black oxfords for the interview though.)

I can see your point. I love the texture of the cotton linen cross hatch in the tie. What I would have worn instead if I owned it, would have been a lighter brown/taupe in hopsack or grenadine.

Thanks!

Tough act to follow @mcobinad! Glad to see you back.
I'm trying this tie again, with a more conservative fit this time.

Those shoes look too casual to be worn with a suit.

Also, think about getting a new hairdresser, your current one is cutting it too short.
