You know what really completes this outfit in my (biased) eye? The spats
The photos washed it out, but that's a tattersal shirt too. I was thinking it might be too much pattern, considering the pattern of the tweed when seen close-up. But I actually think they compliment each other. And from a distance, the patterns disappear.

And of course I'm using a full Windsor knot on my tie. Minor detail to some, but I really think this thin silk tie needed it, lest the knot be too small and out of proportion.

On the spat issue, I've decided that I like them so much, I'm going to experiment some more with various colours and styles. I bought a vintage (1950s) pattern for spats, and will be trying out some different types. It'll be a winter project, along with some other bright ideas I'm having these days.
