David Hober wrote suggesting that I write about clothes for funerals, and I happened to have this photo from a post-memorial gathering I attended last year. Gray suit, white shirt, black oxfords and a black necktie are the uniform of the day.
David suggested black Irish poplin for the day's necktie. I prefer black grenadine but any matte black is correct. Ultra-conservative dress shows respect.

It might just be that you're sitting down, but the tie looks a bit long?
It's just the way I'm sitting Jocke.
One need not wait for funerals. Ultra-conservative dress always shows respect: at concerts, lectures, dinner parties, etc.
Old post, but regrettably a present issue for me. I agree with black grenadine (indeed have just ordered one from David (Sam Hober), who is being magnificent in expediting the order). Would navy be more correct than mid grey for the suit? I do not have a charcoal grey suit.
Wear whichever is darker.
