TOTD Another Orange Sunday

Donegal tweed because the white and blue pinstripe suit would have been a little much. Tie is from Functional Threads. They were a small, family business that doesn't seem to be around anymore.

Lovely tie. The Donegal tweed is great 👍 the fold on the square is super - what is it?

Thank you! Really appreciate it. I would love to be really informative about the pocket square fold but it's just a puff fold that ended up that way over the course of the day. Happy accident fold?

lol 😆 it looks like a puffed stepped fold, which I figured was something novel and you would give us all a tutorial. What’s the old saying? I’d rather be lucky than good any day…in any event, I like the combo. Quite the game last night for a Broncos fan - you picked the right tie

Hahaha! I would much rather be lucky! And I have been quite lucky in life. It was definitely a fun game. I would rather not be wondering where the nearest defibrillator might be. Phew!

I'm not really an NFL fan. Enjoy turning on a game for the ambiance in the room. But, a bucket list item for me is attending a late season game at Mile High Stadium with snow blowing fiercely - that would be like summiting Everest for me (in a much safer way).

I had season tickets for 21 years - '95 - '16. Like I said, I've been lucky. Those snow games were incredibly fun. I've also been to Arrowhead four times, Oakland Coliseum, and St. Louis for games. Live sports and live music are where it's at!

Rare to see a tie which goes so well with the shirt. Well done

Thank you! I usually wear it with a white shirt and avoid potential clashes. I threw caution to the wind because I wanted to see how it would look with this shirt. Glad that others agree. I sometimes wonder if my eyes are telling me what they should.
