Sounds like a natural for a well broken-in white shirt and a navy silk knit tie to me.

Shuman, are you referring to this BB jacket?

If so, I purchased this as well and am experimenting with options. I've worn it with some obvious shirts: white, blue, blue candy stripe oxfords. Recently, I've tried out two new purchases with it: charcoal candy stripe oxford and also a large white w/ med. blue windowpane tab collar. I really like the charcoal stripe oxford with it. I try to stay more with solid ties, both knit and grenadine, but I'd be lying if I said I hadn't given my navy/silver-gray guard stripe a go with it.

That said, I'd like to see what other contrasting options you guys think would work.

Salmon OCBD if going open-necked?

For myself, I'd like a pale blue shirt (boring old me) and a dark burgundy knit tie.

Well, my assumption was wrong. Body was fine in length, but way too narrow in chest, shoulders and arms. Guess a sack just isnt for me.

Now, off to create my own style....
