Re: No more clowning around
FNB - Great looking shirts and ties. Those combinations can take a few solid bespoke suits in solid blue and grey a long way.

Re: No more clowning around
FNB,
Great shirts and ties. Are the shirts all made with Acorn material?

Re: No more clowning around
I like some of these combinations because they blatantly don't match...which is the essence of personal style.
An Eames chair looks nice saddled up next to an upholstered 50s style couch from Room and Board.
But it looks stellar next to a traditional-with-a-twist leather couch from Poltrona Frau.
Mixing and matching themes, colors, textures, etc. -- this is the essence of home design as well as dressing.
In an era of crudely matchy-matchy Ike Behar shirt/tie combinations being touted in store after store, here comes a welcomed departure.
Nice work.
I am rarely this daring with color, but I can certainly appreciate it.
Cheers.

Re: No more clowning around
I think I killed this thread.
Not that I'm sorry or anything, it's just that it looked promising.
Should have known that Alan C's hair would promote more discussion on a fashion forum than..erm...fashion (LOL).
Cheers.

Re: No more clowning around
Love all the check patterns posted... I used not to like checks because RTW shirts with them looked even worse fitting on me... But when I finally got shirts made for me, they've become a favorite.

Re: No more clowning around
I suppose since I am bumping my own thread, i should ban myself but then who would ban everyone else?
The example above is one I would consider that an Englishman would wear who had pierced the basic rules. The shirt has pink and grey stripes in which is a more sophisticated choice and the tie is a Charvet print revived from the 1920s. The more discerning English like French luxury items, especially ties from the likes of Charvet and Hermes, although they find the animals prints from Hermes harder to reconcile than the abstracts from Charvet. The shirt is finished with a pair of Paul Smith cufflinks in sterling and shaped like a button; hardly original except for the beaten finish which makes what would be an otherwise unremarkable set of cufflinks more interesting.
