OK. Time to get back in it

After picking up two new customers from this blog I have come to realize that people are actually seeing this and THAT warrants some activity :-)


I am gonna randomly choose a tie and work it into some shirts and suits! Any questions please feel free to ask!


OK. This little number is from the Current New Collection (Spring 09). I avoided the light blue shirt here althogh as in previous posts Light Blue works with Brown, because I felt that sometimes light blue with light blue shirts can be off depending on the shade of blue.


Paired it with an ecru (cream) twill shirt (yes I know I have to retake all the shirts, the pics are terrible), a brown suit with blue stripes ( For some really odd reason that suit is NOT on the site) and this square a personal favorite.


The result is what you see above. Like? Love? Hate? We wanna know!

Navy Suit/Pink Shirt

Customer wanted to match a light pink shirt/Navy Suit with the tie pictured. I hesitated on that tie due to the twill nature of it Its a lightish weight) but its the nicest of the pin dots that I have currently so I say yes. The other pin dots that I had were too muted. Of course options for the Blue Suit, pink Skirt combo are numerous.

Pinks and Blues

I like Pinks and Blues together. Here is a Pink Stripe Shirt with a Light Blue Paisley Tie and a Vintage Pocket Square. I took a muted colored square (not really muted but you know what I mean) to blend with the colors of the suit without competing with the tie and shirt contrast which is the highlight of the ensemble.

In a business setting

For the professional on a working day. Customer will wear it sans square, but I though it looked nice anyway. (Not sure about the last one, may be too dark)






At the Symphony, Narrowed Down.

The Customer decided on this tie (The wife liked it who can, better yet, WHY in G-d's name argue :-) ) and the white linen square , but to confuse them both I threw in two more square options.

A night at the Symphony

I have been really busy but here is a question and a request from a customer.

"The occasion will be for the Symphony once a month, and for rare social occasions that I cannot foresee, and all for evening. I am retired from business with no contacts. Perhaps 25% of the men at the symphony wear ties, and maybe 10% wear suits - including me. My wife is inclined towards red. I am inclined to something more "winey" but not as dark as burgundy. That is why I was wanting to compare the two. The blue tie was just my idea as an alternative, and something to go with a medium gray suit with muted blue windowpanes."

OK. The customer suggested two and a third in the blue family. I offered some suggestions centered on the Burgundy theme.

Here are the shots. More information to follow:
