How is the angle of the glasses?

Wife and I are speaking at a church conference tomorrow. I didn’t want to go full suit so I put this together. Blue sport coat, new Brooks Brothers gray chinos, tattersall shirt by Tattersall, burgundy Anson belt, burgundy Allen Edmond shoes. New-to-me thrifted tie, by Charleston Tie Rack, 100% silk, made in Scotland. Dark blue socks by Calvin Kline. Fresh new hair-do by Jillian…my daughter!

Put this together for a quick bank run and heading straight back home — nothing special, just something easy that still feels put together. - Navy & Burgundy Striped Polo Shirt - Beige Chino Cargo - White Low-Top Sneakers

The Mrs and I ran over to Tulsa to pick up my repaired Bimini (canopy for the cockpit of my sailboat). I have been in need of some new shoes for a VERY LONG time. We popped into see Travers Mahan at his namesake store. Travers started in clothing when I was in grade school. His knowledge of menswear surpasses mine by many exponentials. He is infinitely more experienced in clothing than I. I always love speaking with him. His son, wife, and Daughter in Law all work at the store and he carries through that family business attitude by buying from family businesses. One such company is Martin Dingman. Martin was the accessory designer for Cole Haan back when Cole Haan was Cole Haan. A fantastic shoe company. I wore my 1982 Cole Haan Waxhides and naturally Travers gave me a lot of grief. So I bought a new pair of bridle loafers. It’s ok I needed some brown shoes to compliment the two pair of deep tans I own. Tomorrow is a big promotional day where he throws in a Martin Dingman belt while old fashions (cocktails) are being served- so he threw in a belt tonight for me to seal the deal. Then Anita and I went out for a delicious Italian dinner.
