It took 877 Days, but I've finally reached the promised land, becoming the second Australian general in this group (if I'm not mistaken). I would like to thank @Antonio Cent and the friends that I've made in this group for creating such an incredible online international community.

Hey, style fans -- our Aussie friend @Banjo Piggott Wright has been steadily working his way up and is only 130 points from Level 9. Let's say we end the chase for him today and give a push up over the finish line for him. For newer members, all you need to do is go to Banjo's bio page and start LIKING his post and comments. Should take only a few minutes. Let's GO for BANJO! 😀

G'Day Gents, I just wanted to wish all of our American gentlemen a very Happy 4th of July (it's July 4th in Australia), as well as wish the land of opportunity, a very Happy 250th Birthday.

Last work day of the week, and one of only a few work days this month! At least full work days. Plenty of stepping up and doing whatever is necessary while traveling this month. Had a very motivating potential new client call today. It's great to get the motivation and excitement from such calls even after doing this for 30+ years. I hope you're all planning a great 250th birthday celebration this weekend. As much as American has been politically divided, I still feel like the Fourth is protected from such nonsense. We simply enjoy celebrating an amazing country's birthday... and fireworks! And hot dogs! Suit day for new client meeting and lots of vendor meetings today. I had the system apply my Friday rules to use items with low wear counts, even with it being Thursday. I don't plan to wear a suit tomorrow with playing some disc golf! Suit & Trousers - Mantoni Light Gray Windowpane Suit Jacket (SJ-013) — Lightweight wool two-piece, single-breasted 2-button with notched lapels, navy and light blue windowpane pattern against light gray. Slight sheen finish, slight padding in shoulders, high armholes. 80% lined for warm-weather breathability. Dual rear vents. - - Mantoni Matching Slacks (SL-022) — High-rise wool trousers in pinhead weave with matching windowpane. 1.25" cuffs, button/hook & bar closure. Light drape with medium break. Configured for both belt and suspenders. - Shirt - Charles Tyrwhitt White Burlington Dress Shirt (DS-010) — Classic French cuff in bird's eye twill (Burlington weave), spread point collar, non-iron cotton. Mother of pearl buttons. Formality Score: 5/5. The clean white canvas elevates the suit and lets the accessories pop. - Neckwear - Brooks Brothers Light Blue/Navy Windowpane Silk Tie (NT-063) — 3-fold silk, 3.75" width, 57" length. Low sheen finish with hand-rolled tipping. The windowpane echoes the suit's pattern at a complementary scale—subtle coordination without matching. Friday Rule: #29/70 ties (1 wear) — top 60%
