Got my first self tie bow tie at the last month and just got a chance to try to learn to tie it. Don't know if it's me or it actually is but it seems like it's going to take a lot of practice. Worked on it for a while this evening and haven't gotten it right yet.

I am not a fan of navy ties with navy suits for several reasons. Mainly it’s all of creativity. It also rarely matches the right tones when wearing a monochromatic outfit. It to my eyes usually looks like a guy who is very new to wearing a tie and suit (or never ventured far from that stage). However, when done rightly it can also produce a look for a seasoned dresser that represents a bold and brave approach. Here its use is neither. In the midst of 4 meetings, I attended a funeral for a passed fellow Boy Scout district board member and chose tie from Florence with fleur di lis on it (both the Florence Italy symbol as well as Boy Scouts of America). To add some interest I chose my Prince of Wales blue shirt with green accents and a navy and green pocket square to pick up those colors in the tie. Still in mourning for my friend Tim, the Guinness cufflinks felt appropriate. Navy Byford OTC socks, J Fitzpatrick captoes, and my Seiko 5 finished off the OOTD.

Hey gents I have a question! I bought my first Peacoat, and I see fotos of people dressing with all buttons close and others with One button Open. Honestly I prefer all close, because is a coat / jacket, not a blazer. So I'll throw out the question here. What is the correct way to use, in your opinion?

According to my personal color theory which I use to craft all my outfits, this is arguably the best outfit I can craft at the moment while also being my favorite. This will probably become my go to outfit for important occasions. Bunjirō Custom Navy Fedora Brown Ribbon.
