Colours look perfect.

You might find better, or bigger pictures of the shades from the source of the yarn:

The Lawrence Odie made for O'Connell's also use the same yarn, but O'Connell's likes to change the names, e.g., Rennie "Turin" is O'Connell's "Autumn"; "Heathland" becomes "Tobacco", and so on.

Really cool, Other BB... Awesome charts and very interesting thinking behind them... I don't know much about the workings of color but my father has done very deep dives into color as part of his work on (and with) photography. The workings of color wheels and the relationships between different colors seems fascinating, especially when applied to clothing!

That was indeed a great Shetland, woof...

These shots are a good exploration of the relationship between textures. For me, the repp tie at the top would work better with a finer cloth jacket or suit as it seems too shiny against the rough cloth of the winter herringbone. This is just my take of course. The other two ties work perfectly with the tweed however, I particularly like the patterned Brooks tie, a real classic.

I love those matt finish ties that work so well with winter outfits, wool knits, ancient madders, challis ties(?).

I'm a sucker for those ebay sites where they have dozens of old trad ties for sale. I've got far too many already, but I can never stop looking at them, of course when I retire in a few years time and stop going to an office they'll all be largely redundant. Then I'll have to start one of those ebay sites where they have dozens of old trad ties for sale.

You tie a mean knot Berkeley, I've always loved your dimples.

Christian Scott is an elusive devil never seen anymore of those jumpers, a few off us had them of ebay.
