    Say, I'm not an expert on tying ghillies, but I'm wondering if having so much of the ends of the laces dangling down will be problematic. Do you have enough length to go around the ankle one more time (not ballerina fashion, I mean, at the place where you currently have your last wrap) and tie a neater, more compact bow?
    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    Regrettably, no. I may have to double the knot.

    Thanks for the suggestion, Rex.

    Great outfit!
    Personally I'd go wioth a plain red silk or wool tie but it seems well put-together.
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    This outfit earns the Panache seal of approval!

    You obviously have done your homework because you look great!

    I will offer one tiny suggestion for improvement, which would be to add a pocket square to your jacket. It would make a great finishing touch.

    (If it were me I'd make it a red silk one)

    When you wear this ensemble know that you look very dapper

    Well done

    Cheers

    I think you look great, I would second the pocket square and the solid red wool tie, however these are both rather minor points. I know it's been said before but you really do deserve this, the first ever:
