Yes, Victory!  And that brown grenadine (Vanda) has been one of my most flexible wardrobe items this summer, although I wish it were ~2" longer (I'm 5'11").

DAMN YOU ALL!!!!! im sick of seeing these vicoty squares. I love em...but everytime i seriously consider buying one, i think about the logistics of spending over a c note on a pocket square and i feel like an idiot. but dammit, they are just so nice!

also, the brown vanda is the sex. i have a navy that is by far my favorite tie.

but ... it's like 5-6 squares in one. Mine, taken out, to share unfurled. Maybe I should have shown more of the pink fuschia to peacockify the whole ensemble.

o/o: I think that needs to be a true pinstripe to rise to the level of peacock. Or maybe be rust, orange, green or something else other than navy or gray. But, still nice.

Barims has thrown down the gauntlet, peacocks! Whose plumage will prevail?

PeeTeeDub: T'neck needs to be more vibrant for peacockin'. At least throw something fancy in that breast pocket so the top corresponds with the bottom in some way.

Is the suit grey or brown?! I prefer the grey version with this look. The tie is fine with it, but IMO needs a solid shirt. Possibly a solid shirt with a contrast collar if you really want to go balls to the wall. I'd also prefer a puffed silk (or blend) square instead of a folded one with it. The concept has potential, in a very flashy & busy way, but I really think the execution could be improved a lot with these changes.


The suit is brown with a blue windowpane. I typical go solid blue or lavender shirt and a similar color silk knit tie. As far as the PS, I typically only do a square fold and about 90% of my PS's are cotton, I know its boring, I just have a weird texture bias against silk squares, I cant pull them off..

the next wear will be with a blue sold for sure, the shirt in this picture I think is what threw the whole outfit off...

Oh well, thanks for the feedback everyone!
