a brighter pocket square would draw more attention I think. I have seen [MENTION=12061]Jshackleford[/MENTION] post several outfits and I would consider this a little plain. For me, he definitely falls into the category of "that looks good on him, but I couldnt pull it off". Maybe muted is a better word because of the darker colors. I am good with all of it but the loafers, but I just don't care for tassels personally. Kudos to wearing a green jacket without winning a Masters tournament.

[MENTION=12061]Jshackleford[/MENTION] I like the outfit. I think you wear it well. As stated earlier "that looks good on him, but I couldnt pull it off" is how I see it as well. I'm not a fan of bowties for example, but you look at home in them. I also like the kilties and the jacket and pants ensemble.

Originally posted by idvsego View Postnah, I like it. a collar like that screams for a half Windsor to me though. four in hand looks kind of small and the offset nature of the knot is easy to pick out. Half Windsor is a little bulkier and symmetrical. But I have no actual knowledge of knot etiquette, just commenting on what I like.
As for [MENTION=10240]LCDR[/MENTION]'s outfit, I think it looks good, although it is very blue-dominated. I think the multiple striped pieces work well, given the varied spacing, etc. of each pattern.

Originally posted by hornsup84 View PostAgree that a wide spread collar like that usually looks better with a larger knot. However, a half Windsor technically isn't symmetrical -- relatively symmetrical compared to a 4IH, but if you want more full symmetry, a Pratt is close and a (full) Windsor is the most symmetrical... both will also get you the girth (leaving this low hanging fruit for [MENTION=2325]bruschetta[/MENTION] or someone else) you're looking for, too.

Belt: Gap, gotten for $8
Chinos: Gap Lived In Straight, gotten for $34ish
Shoes: Lands End, gotten for $60ish
Watch: Weekender (paid full price)
