I found these wonderful examples of pattern mixing while glancing at a blog called Project Beltway. The entire post was great, but these two photos caught my eye in particular. I love how this chap is wearing a plaid tie with a plaid suit, and he throws in another check with the shirt. In my opinion, the ability to harmonize patterns is true sartorial talent. The monogram on the sleeve is nice as well.
This is another picture from the same post, and again, I like the mix. The knit tie is wonderful, but my favorite item is the pocket square. It matches nothing, but it seems to fit.

Nice work. I'm not really a fan of the monogrammed cuff, though. I did one once and was not happy with the outcome. It was just too something. I prefer to have my shirts monogrammed just above my belt line in a color that blends in with the fabric or even lower. (White monograms for a striped shirt most of the time.) If I could get them done inside the neck I would have the Chinese character for "No Starch" sewn in.
Nice to see the versatility of the knit tie showcased.
great post.
regarding monograms written in Chinese which translate to No Starch
it was Slim Aarons (photographer of the Ultimate WASP's)!
''Slim at heart is still a hick from New Hampshire, but he's chic as hell. His dress shirts have a little monogram on them written in Chinese. You know what the monogram says when you translate it? 'No starch, please.' That's Slim.''

Hello Mr. Pincus. And thanks. Damnitall, I thought I was being clever. He, at least, asked nicely.
