Knocking out some yard work this morning I put on the last graphic T we had made for the band. It was part of the Will Rogers Highway (AKA Rt 66) 2026 centennial kick off celebration at our favorite local pub: J. Farley’s. One night a few years back as Tim and I were sitting on our bar stools (with our names on the back) I turned around and said “Hey Tim-looks like a Moose wandered in”. He swung around and a giant Moose was sure enough over the stage where we play. One of the owners was at the bar and Tim’s say’s. “Well that deserves a song”. My wife was the motivation for the German Leprechaun line. And Tim as was his custom, took the Ghost Riders tune and made a goofy lyric to fit. I would wager he might have written the only song on earth with the lyrics “Filled with Moose Lust”. Having spent last night with his three sons as they divided up my deceased buddy’s belongings, This shirt was exactly what I needed in this third day of Christmas.

According to my personal color theory which I use to craft all my outfits, this is arguably the best outfit I can craft at the moment while also being my favorite. This will probably become my go to outfit for important occasions. Bunjirō Custom Navy Fedora Brown Ribbon. Liverano & Liverano Burgundy Jacket Custom Ivory Waistcoat Custom Light Blue Shirt Dark Blue Tie Burgundy & Beige Macclesfield Pattern. Moss Green Pocket Square Ruby & Sapphire Medallions, Eggshell Edges. Blue Cornflower Custom Khaki Chinod Olive Green & Mid-Brown Striped Socks. Johnston & Murphy Burgundy Wingtip Oxford Khaki Shoelaces.

When your out there driving this holiday season, If the police say “Hang Tight”, and give the top of your car a little pat. You going to jail!

Arguably the single most versatile jacket a man can have in his wardrobe is a classic navy blazer. It can be dressed up with a tie and dress shirt, nearly on par in terms of formality with the classic lounge suit or business suit that we know today, or dressed down with a chambray or corduroy work shirt and jeans -- and layered with everything in between from sweaters to vests and even polos. This makes the blazer work all four seasons, no matter where one resides. As a classic timeless piece, it also functions very well as a sort of blank canvas to which regional, cultural, and personal background accessories can be added to suit the wearer's individual style and taste. This extreme versatility of function is what makes a blazer so valuable to own, especially over time. I recently purchased a royal blue blazer on eBay, along with a pair of Allen Edmonds tassel loafers in oxblood, as unofficial Christmas presents to myself. I had these saved in my watch list for a while, and decided to pull the trigger. I'm excited to further explore the versatility of the blazer with a royal blue color option in addition to my dark navy blazer from Ralph Lauren. For more blazer exposure, inspiration, or indoctrination into the blazer ideology, check out the posts of our very own resident ambassador of the navy/blue blazer, @Brian McGuire . He wore one for 70 days straight with a different tie from his collection each day. I am strongly considering taking up the challenge myself 😁 I'm sure I could wear a blazer with each one of my ties, pairs of trousers, and shirts. 😏
