Good morning/afternoon Gents During this journey, I realized that smartwatches aren’t allowed because they’re too casual. And I, as it happens, always wore one! Even though I’d replaced the strap with a leather one. But I’ve found the solution to this dilemma! Introducing the smartwatch from ONE Watch, a Portuguese company! At first sight, you might think it’s a regular watch, but it’s actually a smartwatch. This is a great advantage for men to continue wearing nice watches, Because when you have a woman in your life (Mommy in my case) and you don’t answer the phone in the first 5 seconds of the ring (because you didn’t feel the vibration or it was on silent), you have to calm her down since she’s worried that “I didn’t pick up soon enough” Thanks for reading, and good luck with your studies! Let me know if you like it or not!

I have been experimenting with white + navy blue (and white + black/charcoal) combination. I think these contrasts are too visually striking. I did find some fashion videos that concur with my opinion. What's your take? Here is the poll.

My ADHD shopping brain forgets that other colors exist beyond blue 🤣

2nd outfit today. Firearms Range earlier today. Twillory black dress shirt over olive Joseph Abboud pants with black Anson belt with silver buckle and black Tecovas boots! Orient Panda watch and Scent Reserve inspired by Spice Bomb! It was a wake up on wrong side of bed thos morning. Not much time at the desk either.

So, my local menswear store manager has offered me a deal on my next order of made-to-measure trousers - if I order three pairs. I was already thinking about ordering two pairs, so an extra pair for a discount isn't that much of a stretch. (He gets a discount at three pairs and is willing to pass at least some of that on to me.) I was thinking about this because I always seem to find myself reaching for my higher-waisted trousers over low- to mid-rise trousers. And my absolute favorite trousers are all the made-to-measure ones I got from this store. Since I don't want to wear them out prematurely, I need to add some options to the go-to trouser section of my closet. I know the first two I want to order. I have a mid gray pair of odd trousers and two pairs of midnight navy glen plaid trousers - which belong to a three-piece suit. So, in order to fill a particular gap, the first pair will be a charcoal gray in a 100% merino wool fabric. The second will be the same fabric in a dark burgundy. (See image #1 for both of these fabrics.) The specs on this fabric are that it's a yarn-dyed worsted wool with a thread count of 80/2*80/2 and a fabric weight of 280 g/m (8.26 oz/yd²). I'll have them made with a flat front, side tabs (no belt loops), suspender buttons, plain hem, half-lined to the knee, and with a ≈13" front-rise. The third pair, though, I'm not so sure about... Option 1: - The same fabric as the first two, in a bright navy blue color (a little darker than royal blue). - This one seems like the easy choice, though it might feel a bit boring. It gives me a fourth pair of year-round trousers that I would know I could always reach for and would be quite versatile. The biggest plus here is that it might go a little further toward protecting my suit trousers since they would be a blue-for-blue replacement. The downside is that there isn't much of a fun factor. - (See image #1.) Option 2: - A light tan/khaki-ish colored fabric. - This fabric has a bit of a Shantung texture - similar to the three-piece suit and blazer I just ordered and mentioned in this post. This is fitting, since it's a wool-linen-silk blend. The fabric weight is 300 g/m - fairly lightweight and quite breathable. These would be primarily a warm-weather pant - which, around here, still gives me 8-9 months out of the year. - (See image #2.)
