Last day at the Site Office, thankfully I get to wear my Nova Polo which is 100% cotton. The others I have been wearing are the company our company is contracted to. Bought my Safari Suit specifically for this day, well I call it my Safari Suit. It comprises a Linen Adventure Jacket and Linen Trousers. I also have the Linen Suit jacket that goes with these trousers. Today’s outfit consists of: M.J. Bale Alcantara Linen Safari Suit in Sand Company supplied 100% COTTON Polo 😉 Sparrods & Co Safari Chelsea in Espresso Suede Brown Chewbacca Socks Naxos Snowflake Obsidian Leather Bracelet. The Snowflake Obsidian works to help balance, purity, and ground one's mind, body, and aura. Monterey Watch Co Black Bead Bracelet SOTD - Mancera Red Tobacco WOTD - Tudor Royal 41

This suit I hade made in 1995. It is the same design of Classic timeless menswear Ive worn since around 1980. In fact at Harold’s it was the only model we sold: 3 buttons with a 2 button roll, double forward pleats, cuffed trousers. It’s a design that basically harkens back at least 90 years. For accessories I chose a white with blue stripe CT shirt and a Brooks Brother’s goldish yellow tie, black captoes and a 1940’s Bulova watch. Regarding pleats- pleats roll in and out of the fashion world but have remained a staple of classic tiles style for a very long time. The forward pleat (see pic where a manufacturer mislabels reverse pleats provided) are my favorite. They are less common but when they armed nice and deep they have such a superior silhouette to the reverse pleats. They don’t look as bunched up especially when sitting. The secret for pleats to work is to never wear them too low on the waist. If I were having a new suit made I would keep with this timeless design. Very few stores still sell the 3/2 roll coat, J Press being one of the few. However for the double front pleat J Press sticks with the single. Ben Silver keeps the classic double. Ralph Lauren and a few manufacturers like Samuelsohn still has them as well.
