The Forecast for Spring


The forecast for Spring is for exotic necktie weaves, including silk and linen combinations and grenadines in semi-solids that have not been seen for many years, if they have ever been seen at all.


The new neckties will be accompanied by lightweight silk scarves, and delicately printed cotton handkerchiefs and bandanas in tropical colors and motifs.

Have you been to your own reunion? Planning to go?

Patch side pockets look less severe, in keeping with the lightweight jacket. The breast pocket can also be patch but that is something that works best with 4×2 double breasteds as the patched version is smaller than the conventional pocket and pocket handkerchiefs have a tendency to spill out with too much enthusiasm (though they are an opportunity to deploy the otherwise fairly useless 12″/30 cm squares foisted upon us by certain makers).
