Norwegian jumper outfit suggestions
Many years ago my mum knitted a jumper very similar to the first image and I am trying to figure out how to style it. The fit is a little oversized and the collar is quite open (like pic 2&3) so a shirt can look a bit odd. I am thinking tan cavalry chinos and a red/black/white merino wool turtleneck could work? I am also interested in versatile pieces that work with a classic tailoring/ivy/workwear wardrobe.
In short, how could I style this jumper?
Any thoughts or comments appreciated!

My worry is that it may be a bit more of a rugged look?

ocbd options (<£100) in eu/uk?
Hi, I've been going down the ocbd details rabbit hole and now find it hard to find an acceptable ocbd (collar length mainly). Obviously I have options like Berg & Berg, Drake's etc. But the starting point for those brands are about £150 and up, and there are not a lot of second hand shirts on the european market on ebay, vinted, etsy etc. Charles Tyrwhitt has been the go-to rec from what I gather, but they now seem to do shorter collars, and I have had bad experiences with their vintage shirts not fitting as well as I would have liked.
So my question is, what classicocbd options are there on a £100 budget in the eu/uk?

I'm looking for a leather bag/briefcase for work and I cane across the one above. A bit torn as it looks quite worn, but I suppose thats the end goal of any leather item? Except for belts I suppose

Smoke smell persisting after dry cleaning my YSL silk tie
I thrifted an Yves Saint Laurent silk tie and had it dry cleaned, but it still smells more or less the same? What else can I do to get the smell out?

how do I style these jeans?
https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/products/E455498-000/00?colorDisplayCode=66&sizeDisplayCode=004 in 66blue
The details like the side pocket and hammer holder (?) Make them tricky to style with collared shirts I think? They have a workwear vibe, but don't necessarily go with my other workwear pieces like my chambray shirt, which is also blue. It works, but I don't always want to go full monchromatic/all denim
I have styled it with white trainers/nb sneakers and a grey sweatshirt, which I like, but I can't seem to make more outfits with them. Not sure if I'm just overthinking it though. Any and all comments are appreciated!

what brands do quality grenadine ties?
The good brands I have for an ebay search for ties never show me grenadine ties. Could it be that there isn't a big market for second hand grenadine ties?
