Having some fun outside, I mean with this Yiume Hawaiian Shirt reminding me of the Mambo Tee’s I used to wear in my much younger years I just felt like playing in the park 😂 Luckily all the local kinds are at school during the week, I did get some strange looks from people whilst I was doing all these photos. Anyway todays outfit consists of; Yiume Short Sleeve 100% Cotton Undersea Party Shirt Yiume 5 Pocket 35% Linen, 64% Cotton Blend White Shorts Hoka Clifton 10 in Raw Linen/Stone Stanton Collapsible Panama Style Hat in Neutral Oakley Gibston Sunglasses in Matte Black SOTD - Versace Eros Energy (its a hot day today) WOTD - Timex Q Chronograph Speedtimer (Snoopster)

Casual Friday TGIF Green Michael Strahan quarter zip over a Collars and Co Navy polo. Vertx dark wash jeans with brown Anson belt with silver buckle and brown Thursday President boots. Vincero S2 Chronograph green dial watch and Versace Eros Flame for the day. The quarter zip is perfect fit on the shoulders but sleeves to long and so is the length. Tonight is the city holiday party but I have a casino craps gig I already committed to. Sending my doppelganger in my place!

Had to go to the courthouse for jury duty this morning. I got called into the courtroom but did not get selected for the jury. However, I was still the best-dressed man in today's jury pool. There were three others with sport coats, but they all wore jeans with them. I wore khakis. Win! 😆 Green-striped Banana Republic shirt Khaki chinos and tan Anson belt with antiqued gold buckle Tan Allen Edmonds Road Warriors with black, gray and maroon argyle socks Camel-colored Chaps Ralph Lauren sport coat and green pocket square Gray flat cap with windowpane pattern Gold Hamilton Dodson reissue watch (again!)

Tomorrows in the 50th Party for my wife. I have given it a Victorian theme and it is set as a High Tea. There are along 15-20 people attending, and the cake will look like this picture, which iOS off the cake just not finished. I will be wearing my Nectere watch complete with the green band back on it, do you think the rest of the outfit works within the Theme?

Gentlemen, many of you that have been in these communities and have excelled in the levels to at least level 7 and have received several challenge coins. So my question is what are you going to do with them? I have seen some put them on display, I heard some keep them for memories and keepsakes. How can we as gentlemen in this community promote and encourage others? Many of you know that I am currently raising my grandson who is now 13yrs old, about over a year ago he approached me and said “ I want to be like you and dress like you.” This was more than I could ask for, that my grandson saw certain qualities, morals, integrity, and standards that I have places on myself to the point that he wants to be like me. And to make this even more special he is my grandson by marriage, meaning that when I married my wife he became my grandson by marriage. So the mere fact that he wants to be like me and looks up to me is not only an honor but it is a great responsibility and a privilege that I do not take lightly, So over the past year I have been working with him by mentioning him in becoming a gentleman, he likes to wear button down shirts and polo's, chinos, slacks an and sometimes jeans, He loves to wear blazers with his clothes and he love wearing suits, ( for a male his age in this day and time is a very impressive thing). He even has his own steamer that he steams his clothes, and every evening his steams his clothes for the next day. I have had him watching numerous videos from RMS, Antonio’s video, and many others videos and pod cast online, then we discussed them. We went shopping and I let him make his selections and I would advise him on his selections. He wanted lo wear colognes so I found a place where they carry the same fragrances in a clone brand packaging, (almost the exact same designer fragrances but in a clone version) this was perfect for him to learn and grow with). We discussed grooming, and basic gentlemen topics. I have seen this 13 year old boy turn into a young man, to the point his teachers at school have sent home letters praising home for the young man and leader that he is. Everywhere we go he is constantly receiving compliments and praises for his look and his manners.
