I have this shirt in "Umber":

I don't feel like any of the ties I currently own are suitable, any advice? Most likely buy from Tiebar.com

I'm thinking this one:
Or this:

I will most likely wear with light blue linen jacket, but also have a navy hopsack blazer I could wear.

Thanks in advance!

If you don't like my choice in shirt brand please recommend a company that makes affordable shirts in 15.5 X 37, thank you!

A solid silk or wool knit in forest green or wine. The ties you mention would IMO be very busy with this kind of heavy pattern.

Thanks! I do have a wine colored Grenadine, I could try that. My navy hopsack is likely the only coat I have that will go with this.

What are your thoughts on this: https://www.google.com/search?q=wha...http%3A%2F%2Fvintagedopedealer.com%2Ftag%2Fsaks-fifth-avenue-necktie%2F;480;640

Thetiebar has these ties in solid brown: https://www.thetiebar.com/categoryPages/All_Ties.asp?categoryIds=31,23,20&optionValueIds=7

I also like this light green linen tie to go with my light blue linen blazer:

A brown tie would look good with blue gingham, but brown on brown would be way too much. If it were me, I would go for solid navy, burgundy, or dark green. Honestly though, if it were me, I probably would be wearing this casually with an open collar. I love my gingham shirts, but they tend to be casual enough that they're usually fairly difficult to match a tie to

Honestly I would not wear that shirt with a tie, even if it had a proper collar.
It's just the combination of brown and gingham that'd make me wear it casually, the button down collar doesn't help either.

I intend on wearing this in a more casual setting, but will still want a tie option.

Most likely i'll be wearing the shirt with natural colored penny loafers like these: https://www.rancourtandcompany.com/ready-made/men-s/beefroll-penny-loafers.html

British khakis like these:

And Light blue linen jacket like this: https://www.ctshirts.com/Light-blue...ue-linen-herringbone-classic-fit-sport-coat?q=usddefault||JK053LBU|||||||||||||

Completely a personal opinion: judging by the pics online, I think the brown of the shirt and the darker tan of the British khaki will end up too close together. In real life there may be enough of a difference, but again, if it were me I would probably be wearing it with navy chinos and brown loafers. As for a tie suggestion strictly within the confines of the outfit as presented though, I think a dark green knit or a navy knit would go best.

I think my issue is the mixing of seasonal color palates. For example, I recently bought a jacket nearly the same color as yours (coincidentally, from lands end) that I wear with very light tan (stone) or white chinos, a white or light pink shirt, and a pastel colored cotton or linen tie. It's a spring or summer outfit. With the brown gingham shirt, even though gingham is more of a summer pattern, my thought is that it would work better in a more fall/winter oriented outfit- brown tweed jacket, tan chinos, and a dark green tie. The logic behind my recommendation of a solid navy tie is that it is all season and goes with just about everything, so it can somewhat pull together the "summer" feel of the jacket with the "fall" feel of the shirt. Way more personal opinion than you were probably looking for, but maybe some things to think about.

I have a navy grenadine, from Chipp, it is really light weight for a grenadine-looks more like a knit. I'll try that out.

Thanks again for the advice. Maybe I'll just wait to wear the shirt until fall.

Basically a solid tie or maybe a very conservatively patterned tie would be the only choices. I don't think that shirt will look very good with any tie, honestly. It will be a nice casual shirt, though.

A BD is a proper collar (whatever that means). Nothing wrong with wearing them with ties. Just not any tie.

Well, the "proper" collar thing was meant a bit tongue in cheek.
I don't like button down collars with or without tie how you should've read the "proper".

An emblematic with a sense of humor wouldn't kill it for me. Plain jacket (herringbone tweed acceptable) and white linen hank required in that case.

From the tie bar. For your navy blazer.


With the gingham, geometric patterns will clash. Stick to sporting motifs or pindots. A paisly in the right size, and color might work. The point is to avoid sharp geometric shapes, keep to smooth organic forms, or solid.

I understand the motif, but from any distance that hound looks like he's squatting rather than pointing, which isn't a good visual. I have to deal with that with my own canine a couple of times every day, armed with plastic bags and a scoop.

I'd recommend a dark gold solid knit with this shirt, but even that might not really work well. It qualifies as one of the least versatile "dress shirts" I've ever seen.

Now that's an emblematic I'd buy!
