The year is almost over and I feel so thankful for everything I have up to this point. Always remember to cherish what you have and how hard it was to get there. I have to remind myself I've come so far, take things in stride. Let 2026 be the best year of your life!

I picked up my peacoat from my tailor yesterday. She did a great job, and I think the coat fits far better than it used to. However, in my opinion, out of an abundance of caution, she seems to not get the fit of the waist quite right out of fear of accentuating a man's.... hind end. The coat fits very well in the chest and has that tailored feel, yet the waist seems loose, and the overall fit slightly boxy, rather than that sexy triangle that compliments the masculine physique. What is your opinion? Should I have it reworked? Or is she right? There is a night and day difference between what it was, and how it is now, and that is all for the better, but maybe my expectations were too high? (It's not a suit jacket, after all...)

Tonight’s outfit is a bit casual, a rose shirt with a vintage blue and maroon neck tie, navy and grey large striped crew neck sweater with smaller green stripes, dark denim jeans and chili brogued dress boots. My outerwear includes wear is not pictured but included navy overcoat and a maroon narrow brim fedora.
