Wanted to add a jacket to my shirt and tie ensemble. My usual tan jacket was feeling a bit worn out, so I went with the jacket from my tan linen suit. Walking through the hallways of a school, and a teacher I have not seen in a while told me she thought I was now a supervisor… Because of the jacket. Amazing. My reply was “no, I work for a living…“😛

A suit is supposed to make you look successful. But most men are paying for a label — not quality. The men's suit industry is one of the most overpriced markets in fashion. Brands charge thousands for suits made with cheap materials, poor construction, and a logo that means nothing. In this video, we break down 5 suit brands that are robbing you blind — and reveal 5 that actually deliver real quality for your money.

So back story part So about every 5 to 7 years I invest in a better cowboy hat than the one I have . So I have a 3x,4x,5x,6x, and 8x It’s now been longer than my usual time for a new cowboy hat. And what I’m about to share is something only God could do. Cause even though it was on my heart now for a while for a new hat I know because of other bills and wife’s medical stuff and getting the vehicles fixed I couldn’t even begin to think about spending money I don’t have. Anyways yesterday after church and groceries , we were on the way home when a couple (whom we have grown close to over the last 5 or so years ) got ahold of us and said a cousin of theirs gave this to them and they asked if I’d like to have it. So we told them yes and before my wife left for her doc a lot today she stopped and picked it up It’s a 10x beaver fur black cowboy hat with leather band and horse hair end. This is easily an $800 cowboy hat. It is going to need to be steamed and the brim and sides shaped a bit

Have you ever had to get to a place or a destination and you hit a delay? I was on my way to Florida for a business trip, now I get to the airport to fly to Florida 4 PM. I get a notification on my phone, your flight’s been delayed by several hours. I’m now gonna miss my connecting flight. Here is the thing, in my younger days and before my journey, I would’ve been really angry and upset in that moment and I would’ve ran over to the gate and probably made a fool of myself by yelling at the agent standing behind the Delta counter and I would say say something like “ Are you %*#% serious! my flight has been delayed and I’m going to miss my connecting flight, are you *#%*# serious!This is crazy. Now I’m not gonna make it to my destination on time. “ Do you think I would’ve gotten anywhere if I went up to the counter like this now? Not to mention I am in a two piece suit, so you know I stand out more than most traveling. What I did was I that I walked over to the counter, trying to maintain a positive attitude. I smiled at the lady behind the counter and I said “ma’am, I heard your professional problem solver is that true?” and she started smiling. Then I said ,”I heard you’re so good at solving problems and pay you to do it!” This got her smiling ,and I said “look I have a problem. I know it’s not actually yours so if you can’t solve it, I understand but if you can, it would mean the world to me, I have a client that is in Florida waiting for me to help them with a very serious matter.” She smiled and said let me see what I can do,and she starts punching her computer keypad and she looks at me. She says I’m really sorry there’s only one flight tomorrow it’s gonna get you there at 10 AM tomorrow . There’s one more flight tonight but it’s flying standby. Meaning there’s no seats available. You’re gonna wait by the gate if you get a seat they’ll put you on if not, they will put you in a hotel. I said “OK that’s sounds good, thank you so much I the effort.” Sorry, one second sir, she keeps punching away at her keypad two minutes later she walks in front of the gate and she comes up to me and she hand me a boarding pass and she says I got you to see on the plane tonight. I was like, “the computer did it or did you do it? “ She goes, it was kind of both.
