U.S. Sen. Rand Paul wore a powder-blue blazer, a pink tie and sunglasses when he hung with Rupert Murdoch at the Kentucky Derby. A description of that blazer in Jason Horowitz’s New York Times story about their man date has been updated, and a correction appended:

An earlier version of this article stated incorrectly the type of suit worn by Mr. Paul. It was herringbone, not houndstooth.

Reached by email, Times spokesperson Eileen Murphy said the correction did not come from either party in the story, but from “an alert reader who commented online.” A moderator alerted the Times’ standards editor, spawning the correction. “We’re lucky at The Times to have very smart, engaged readers,” Murphy said. (Here’s the comment, which like the correction, Alex Seitz-Wald spotted.)

As it happens, Nicholas Morine has written about the differences between the two fabrics, and has some advice for accessorizing with them:

The rule of thumb when pairing clothes bearing a houndstooth pattern to other accessories and garments is to always stay very close to the base colours, or at the very least to pay attention to the accenting pinwheel colours. Contrasting colours never work with houndstooth, and risk the chance of creating a clownish impression.
