@mr. mr. - Feedback (or, "unsolicited advice") has been a central part of this thread since its beginning. It would be a little silly to post outfit pictures on a style forum and not expect to get comments, feedback, and even constructive criticism regarding that outfit. If you don't want anyone to comment on your pics, you are more than free to write that in your posts.

Them ain't fish! They're just little paisley designs, with tiny pheasants interspersed. I actually bought this tie solely for the pheasants (my dad is an upland fowl hunter).
i just felt that sdot's response to jon was a bit brusque and while it may fly for regulars, if i was a newbie who posted my first outfit i might be a bit taken aback.
Very nice fit, the blazer def toned down the strength of the shirt. Nice play with color with out o/ding. As suggested before different color boats, maybe dark green or blue boats. I say dark green as another earth element but you may not want too much color going on.

I have to admit, I've never even considered wearing paisley. It always struck me as something very, um... old and out of touch. For years I would say stuff like "check out the dude with the sperm tie/shirt." Weirdly, I don't have that association anymore. So, after seeing BenR's look and thinking, "looks good," I just went to go look at some hand me down ties from my dad that I have in a box in the closet, and have never worn... and it turns out I've got some vintage paisley ties. Can you steam ties, by the way?

i had the same feeling as you BB, even now at time i still think it looks wierd if the paisley is some weird color. Btw, yea steaming a tie is the best way to do it dont stretch it though as the fabric will be moist.

Oh, and I think mr mr's comment is a good thing to keep in mind -- as a reminder to consider tone. I think we do well in this regard, but it's good to be reminded as well.

If you can't take the heat...get out the kitchen. Anytime I respond, I try to point out the good. However, there wasn't too much in his posting. If you look at my history dating back to the previous forum, others will tell you I don't just bash people. I'm hear to help
