Jim’s light gray suit is always in fashion. Styling it with a crisp checkered dress shirt and patterned tie keeps things fresh and modern.
Yacoubian Tailors: Light gray Super 150s wool suit. David Donahue dress shirt. Eton silk tie and Peter Millar pocket square.
The bold, bright hues of Dallas’ jacket and tie are anchored by a white cotton shirt and pearl gray trousers. It’s a polished look that communicates sophistication and finesse.
Bruce Baird & Co.: Southwick wool sport coat. Robert Jensen 100% silk tie. Gitman Bros. dress shirt. Hickey Freeman wool trousers.
A navy sport coat is the perfect base for an infinite number of looks. Here, Matt is sporting an orange paisley tie to add a touch of flair.
J. Gibson Clothiers: Super 120s merino wool sport coat. 100% silk tie.
Paired with navy slacks, Zack’s red patterned sport coat makes a statement with minimal effort. A coordinating tie pulls everything together and dresses up the look a notch.

David looks dapper in a timeless, yet functional jacket. His signature bow tie – crafted from black turkey feathers – stands out without overshadowing the rest of the ensemble.
