I received this size XS Country Road polo which originally was a birthday present for my father. He usually wears size L or above so he gave it to me instead. I'm a bit surprised about the fit off the rack as I usually wear size Small. The main concern I have is with the shoulders.

Critiques welcome! Especially on the use of corduroys with a Winchester... Busy Friday in the office, but looking forward to a relaxing weekend at home. It's the first one with no baseball tournament for my 13-year old in a month. Time to catch up on the business expansion plans and any other projects running behind. Maybe I'll try another shoe polishing this weekend. Outfit • Jacket — DOJ‑005 (Ralph Lauren): A dark‑brown tweed blazer in a cashmere–wool blend that brings depth, warmth, and unmistakable texture to the core of the ensemble. Slight roping in the shoulders and a clean silhouette keep it elevated enough for internal VC leadership days, while the tweed surface adds quiet visual interest on camera. • Shirt — DS‑034 (Savile Row Company): A Winchester Prince of Wales check shirt with crisp white collar and French cuffs, balancing heritage British patterning with unmistakable business formality. The navy POW body pairs beautifully with the earth‑tones of the jacket and trousers, producing a sharp and intentional on‑screen presence. • Undershirt — US‑022 (Sene): A Peruvian Pima cotton MTM undershirt that stays invisible while maintaining exceptional comfort throughout the day. It provides clean drape under the structured dress shirt, ensuring no extra bulk under the French cuffs or collar. • Trousers — PN‑013 (Fort Belvedere): Deep‑navy heavyweight corduroy with rich vertical texture that anchors the outfit with gravitas. The substantial 705 g/m² fabric reads as refined on camera and harmonizes with the tweed jacket without overwhelming the look. • Tie — NT‑040 (Nordstrom): A taupe‑brown geometric silk tie with small‑scale patterning that offers subtle complexity while keeping a firmly business‑appropriate tone. Tied in a clean Half‑Windsor, it frames the white collar beautifully and complements both the brown jacket and navy trousers. • Pocket Square — PS‑017 (Fort Belvedere): A brown‑and‑blue paisley silk pocket square that adds elegant visual depth and ties together the jacket’s earth tone with the navy elements of the outfit. Its deliberate use of warm brown and cool blue continues the ensemble’s color story while maintaining a business‑appropriate level of expression.

For the first time in about 20 years, I have cleared out my closet. It was necessary: I lost some weight and started doing CrossFit. Before I buy new things, I try out combinations of the clothes that still fit me or fit me again. My office outfit for today consists of: blue jacket white long-sleeved shirt blue scarf (to protect my neck) brown leather belt (matching my shoes) blue jeans long socks in dark navy brown leather shoes BTW: Antonio would probably say ‘those shoes scream 2000’. And yes – they are almost 20 years old and probably no longer fashionable. However, I didn't want to just throw them away, as they were expensive at the time and I have taken good care of them over the years. What do you think? Should I get rid of the shoes? Any other helpful proposals? Additional information: I bought the shoes years ago because a friend of mine said I should buy a pair of "respect shoes" sometime.
