Following mookietea's post, here's my take on brown linen. From a recent vacation.

How tall are you

How tall are you

Below 1.70m?

Below 1.70m?

U actually look v tall in the pic, probably a perspective in contrast to the lady whose arm and shoulder is captured in the same pic.

Anyway, should the highest button at the neck area be buttoned up when wearing tie or it should be left open? Or depends on individual comfortability?

Do you all use garment steamer or steam from a steam iron to stem the jacket? I read that it's best not use a hot iron with contact with the jacket.

really nice! More outstanding than some 'fashion' expert wanabes.

Hey, thanks. but my shoes looks weird and worn out. Haha.

Haha. IMO, if u want to look like a gentleman, then unfortunately must button.

Not buttoning is the "by left". Up to individual

Not buttoning and loose tie gives a casual and relaxed appearance, good with sports jacket and "fun" ties. Go try with a 4 in hand knot.

Buttoning up is the default for any formal occasion. Half or full windsor depends on your collar spread and face width.

Tried steamer before, no use one.

Iron with a damp handkerchief much more effective.

If i want casual, relaxed look, will simply not wear a tie. Just saying.

If I want to wear a tie or dress code requires a tie, will button up.

IMHO, not buttoning up to wear a tie is just not "correct" (even though it may be fashionably acceptable).

My 2 cents.. hehe

Managed to find a very close material and color shade of my blazer at sze sze. Mr ong quite nice. Price of it is $105. 80% wool I think. Haha don't matter as long inexpensive and similar color! Haha shall try making shirts there one day if the pants is good!

shall put a cloth over it and iron. don't want to have the shine.
however i have a braun iron that has the textile protector to prevent shine due to heat.

If you use enough steam, you don't need the damp cloth. If you use a dry iron, you need the damp cloth. If you've accidentally shined the fabric, spray a very very small amount of water over the affected area, then put on a damp cloth and press. It'll take most of the shine away.

One more thing do not glide the iron up and down. Press down lift up press down. Repeat.
