Putting it all together

[Flat Foot Floey]

The shirt is dark grey chambray, right?

I like the concept but I have to think twice if this combo works for me. [huh] Gotta see this in natural light first.

not sure if this is a round neck fair isle or a v-neck that's a bit loose. the shirt looks quite modern for the 20s:

Cecil Beaton, 1920s.

I'm beginning to think that's actually a U neck.... That shirt looks really cool, IMO.

@Herringborne Kid, that looks amazing! All in earth colors... And they say brown is a "boring" color...

Justin it's my turn to congratulate you on a great look. Clever use of colours and the shirt, tie and collar bar are the mezz!

 

[DamianM]

My (ex) necktie Makes another appearance!

 

[splintercellsz]

Thank you, Benny!

lol, you got that right, Damian! This tie just fits this specific suit so well, I have ot put it on every time (my tie collection is small at the moment, but will grow sooner or later)! Love the collar bar as well. Thank you, again

 

[DamianM]

oh thats the collar bar too. So simple and it elevates the look so much.
Its all in the details.

Pattern on pattern on pattern on solid.

 

[Guttersnipe]

You, sir, live dangerously.

 

[Two Types]

Bold, but it works.

 

[Patrick Hall]

Thanks gents. I credit this thread in part with helping me learn how to pattern-match. I think bold works, as long as none of the patterns are competing with each other, and there is at least ONE solid element...in this case the tie.
