Re Kimber squares: The bases are a flat, neutral white, and the images are large scale while leaving much of the base visible. That generally makes it possible to show more color/pattern or more white depending on mood and level of formality. Because the patterns are large scale and architectural, what tends to be visible in a pocket are irregular color shapes that complement most tie patterns. The colors are also neutral so they can be matched with warm and cool palettes. The wool-silk blend isn’t shiny and has a bit of texture. So, if you’re thinking about a spectrum of textures in your combination, the square complements madder, other smooth silks, and wools with texture.

Hey all, I've got a few listings that went live this week. Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm a usual US L / 50 and 34 Waist.

Dries Van Noten Reversible Rain Jacket: Has what I think is the best tapestry print from the ss17 season.

YSL Chocolate Brown Velvet Pants: Embrace the flare : )

Junya Watanabe Wide Pants

CHCM Eggshell White Trousers: These had a really nice hand, though probably better for spring.

GRP Cotton / Linen zig zag sweater: Also more suited for spring. You already know GRP knits are some of the easiest to wear.

I think I've also got something nice going up next week from Tom Ford era YSl

@SpooPoker, any NWWA trunk shows planned for late winter/early spring? (sry if this has been asked and i have missed...)

Definitely need to get one on deck. I have been so overwhelmed this season with all kinds of stuff, I could not get my **** together with Greg to do one... but I most certainly plan to in the spring!

Good luck on tonights bids fellas, who is grabbing the Aldens and the Tom Ford??
