We wear darker colors in the fall. They look seasonal under gray skies, and yesterday the rain clouds brushed the ground so that the very air was overcast. I chose one of my darkest suits.
Charcoal gray hopsack suit worn with a light blue nailhead shirt, black on white angora and lambswool necktie with a burgundy overcheck, and an ancient madder pocket square with a dark green ground. Below the waist, black cap toed oxfords and dark green wool hose.

Utterly splendid tie, Will. Is that an ASW special or something more for the budget conscious?
Is there a difference? It's from the ASW store.
Beautiful suit and tie. But why so somber? I think dreary days call for some color.... especially when there are such rich autumn colors to draw from.
You mentioned a while back that you had worn out your stroller. Would you consider using this jacket to create an ad hoc one? (I think that wonderful wedding tie inspired this thought in me.)
I would not, for the flimsy reason that the cloth is too rustic for a stroller.
I absolutely adore this combination. The perfect way to weather a dreary day (pun intended), but I feel the shirt's and tie's colors hint nicely at sunnier days. For some reason I am peculiarly enamored of the tie. Will, I wonder if perhaps you could say a few words about color choices in some future article? I often find myself second-guessing color choices, as the ideas of odd jackets, coordinated (but not exactly matching) socks, and pocket squares are all somewhat new to me.
