RE: Bowtie picks:
Yes, that’s black-on-black paisley. And I’m a huge fan of that glen-plaid/houndstooth print with the purple, because I’ve got a pretty swank pocket square to go with that bowtie already.
But I think I’m 90 percent sure the paisley is the way to go. It’s subtle, but stands out just enough to be different while nodding toward the classic.
Thanks for your input guys!
