Here's another attempt at encouraging the odd piece of silk to close the neck. Scarf, necktie or ascot makes no difference. They are all good.
The mid blue ascot in the photo is worn to Sunday brunch with a tweed jacket, royal oxford shirt and silk square. Below the waist, navy wide wale cords and chestnut monkstraps.

Will,
That is a wonderful, understated look of a man who knows how to dress. The shirt is nicely pressed and the blues harmonize nicely so that no one item is too noticed.
Job well done.
John
Will-
Great look, love the coat.
Could you explain how you do the pocket square fold you're using in the picture. I typically just sort of an unorganized puff, but like the look of the thicker-fold.
Thanks!

ZG, it's a puff fold placed upside down into the pocket.
Will,
First, love your blog. I notice that a buttonhole is visible in your lapel. How come? Most of my sportcoats do not have that.
The lapel buttonhole holds the stem of a boutonniere when I want to wear one. Some jacket makers do without to save money.
Thanks, Will. I meant the lapel buttonhole below your third shirt button.
Ah. The jacket is a a three button cut to roll to the second button, an older form called a three roll two. The top buttonhole ends up on the lapel.
What a gorgeous jacket. If I may ask, who is the maker? I like the overall look as well.
Sarte, it's from my line of tailored clothing.
