Nice SC, and a nice fit in general - except for the tie. A knit, wool-based or grenadine tie in a muted tone would be more appropriate.

Shiny ties should be avoided at all cost.
Thanks. It was my first day wearing the coat. Those Italians sure know how to make some nice clothes. But does anyone else find that the body of current Corneliani sports coats are cut a bit on the short side? The two size EU48 coats I have are probably what some would consider borderline too short, although they fit perfectly on my arms and torso.

I'm no fan of shiny silk ties either. This one looks too shiny and saturated due to the strong head-on flash. In natural light, I'd say it's within the limit.

But yes, I want to expand my collection with more "dull" ties like wool and madder silk. Lusting for some Sam Hober ties, but money isn't flowing like it used to. I mostly thrift, and the really, really nice ties are not in abundance second hand where I live. I did find a few keepers on 70% off sale recently – wool/silk/linen mixes. I'll post some combinations soon.

Recently...



An unposed candid, shot by a professional at a recent family event. The suit is by Hemrajani from London Lounge RAF Blue Brisetta, tie by Jack Simpson Couture, square by Simonnot-Godard. I think (hope) the collar gap is because I'm standing with my hands clasped behind my back in the best Duke of Edinburg manner. I would appreciate hearing others' thoughts on that, though. I have'n noticed a problem in other shots of this suit.
