I really like the suit, shirt, and tie together (although isn't that the Panta tie which is a linen blend? a little bit of an odd pairing for flannel but oh well) but I think the pocket square is a rare miss. Too bright for the rest of the outfit IMHO.


Thanks sugarbutch!

ragazzo, it's the picture and light that makes it look brighter than IRL - often a problem when I take pics of Drakes wool squares for some reason.

Here is the square - not bright

+1000. I have Drakes square in almost exactly the same colors, and it positively glows in some of the pictures I've taken of it.

The comments about tie length are funny but it really isn't that long, barely covers the buckle... As you can probably figure out (from the position vs the coat button), the angle is playing eye tricks here...

yeah, it is inevitable when you lean even the slightest bit that the tie seems too long. i didnt even notice the illusion until people starting nit picking on it.

i find that highly unlikely.

Initially I thought Chan really got good at making a spalla camica shoulder. Then I noticed the shirt collar and now I think you went whole hog NSM. Resistance is futile, but to your credit, you held out for quite a bit.

Maybe this is some kind of juxtaposition statement with less formal suit and tie and very sharp ridiculous high collar, but it looks awful and insecurely begs for attention. That shirt is clearly meant for worsted (the collar meant for an ostrich). I dont think this would be considered good taste by any justifiable measure. It is the shirting equivalent of patent leather shoes with a flannel suit - yuck!
