Greetings all! I've been refining this outfit over this trip: Shoes: Mephisto Phoebus Jeans: Levi's 514 Jacket: Pronto Uomo (a Men's Warehouse brand) lambswool. I had the sleeves re-tailored, but not the shoulders or waist yet. Henley shirt: Banana Republic Hat: Il Cappelaio Matto - a hatmaker in Palermo, who personally makes these flatcaps in his tiny shop and had it re-tailored to fit my size right in front if me. It was very cool. Sunglasses: Polaroid PLD6012 Cheers!

IT is definitely cooling down and I am ready to get the coats I have missed all summer out and into rotation. Pretty close to a Blue Monday outfit today, all accept the Shoes and Belt.

Ballard Suit in Blue Charles Tyrwhitt Semi-Cutaway Egyptian Cotton Stripe Shirt in Cobalt Blue OTAA White Navy And Light Blue Striped Tie OTAA Shining Silver Tie Bar OTAA White pocket square with sapphire blue edge Anson Leather Strap in Cognac on a traditional buckle in Gunmetal Ecco Melbourne Bike Toe Slip-On in Amber SOTD - Montale Cafe Intense WOTD - Erebus Ascent 41 Blue Mother of Pearl.

On this Palm Sunday my outfit portrays the week called Holy Week. Irrespective of one’s personal beliefs this week was significant enough to define events that has lead to the way all humans count time itself in years. This week begins with a bright celebration followed by poignant moments and the darkest of moments followed by an exceedingly bright moment. Not to be too heady but my OOTD is a series of contrasts as well. Dark brushed cotton burgundy blazer Light blue CT linen/ cotton shirt Wool challis green with red paisley tie Two Pocket squares green and burgundy Steel blue trousers (man made materials) Cashmere socks Alden shell cordovan loafers Caravelle Bulova watch •Dark / Light : burgundy jacket with light blue shirt { very dark and very light events this week} • Spring / Fall: wool tie with linen shirt { a new covenant following a previous one } • Expensive/ Not expensive: $60 jacket find and cheap trousers with cashmere socks and shell cordovan shoes {a very costly sacrifice in exchange for some thing that is free} What ever your belief system is brothers, I hope your week is blessed.
