Also, if you go into your general settings under settings, you can edit the number of posts shown per page. I've got mine set to 20.Ben

$45 shipped.
I'm pretty sure it's the hand finished one from a few labels ago — the knit is a bit too perfect to be hand done, to my eye — but it's still a great deal.

Yeah, it's the one I posted on the last page. I'm back to thinking it's the hand-woven one.
I think it's pretty great. Since it was thrifted, it's currently drying from a hand washing, but I plan on wearing it often as soon as I can.
Capnwes over at SF just found this one, if you're in the market:
It's a small, though.

I dig the overall look - the pocket square could go, in my opinion. You have plenty of pattern-mixing going on here so you have to be careful you aren't overdoing it, and... well, I personally just loathe camo.
I have the same tie and tie bar and sometimes its difficult to mix with shirts because of color-contrasting. It looks too light next to light-colored shirts, and too dark on dark-colored shirts. I think a navy or black blazer would set this off really well and would reduce the excess of patterns.
Based on what a lot of people go for on this site/forum, i would venture to say most people would recommend dropping the tie and putting a sweater on in there to break up the patterns, as well. When i mix it up like this my fear is often that I will look back someday on a picture and say "oh, man... was that trendy or something?" hence why i went with a plain black tux with black bowtie for my wedding. but there were significantly more pictures taken there than in my work office, so much less pressure!

@SDot
Thanks, man!
@j.r.
I'm a big fan of pattern/texture mixing, but I'm early in my menswear geek development. Definitely looking to add some more solids into my wardrobe come the Holiday sale bonanza. Also, funny enough, I have a J. Crew navy cotton blazer I've worn with more or less the exact same kit. Going with the tweed was a more functional choice as I love the blazer/scarf/gloves combo as outerwear and tweed is warm enough to get me through the start of NYC winter.
