Good morning gentlemen, I have a question for you this morning, are you a people person? Now for me I like people, but I am not a very outgoing type person that will immediately try to make friends or just walk up and introduce myself randomly. So if you are this type person you are not alone. The sad part is more and more people are being this way because of the world we live in. The caution flags seem to stay raised. Yes we need to always be cautious, but not to where it prevents us from getting to know certain people. For me, I had people say that I look mean or unapproachable. I don’t think that I am or come across as this. But if I hear that from several people then I need to take a look at this and I have. So why is this important? Because when you are making connections this is important, you do not have to be the life of the party but you want people to feel you are approachable. This is very important if you are wanting to make connections beside, that first impression is what people remember. My brother and gentleman Nicholas Logan in this community spoke the other day and I have spoken about getting to know certain people that you frequent their establishments. This could be your dry cleaner, your tailor, the bartender, waitress or waiter, you want to get to know people at places that you frequent a lot because these are the ones that serve you and will also look out for you. For example, there are a few places that I and my wife frequent and also places that I take my clients to, so when I walk into a particular restaurant I am greeted by the person at the door by my name, They also know who my favorite waiter or waitress is so if they ar working they will seat me where they are working. Why? Because that person at the door recognizes me, and that waiter or waitress made sure that they know when me or my wife walks in they get assigned to us because we give them respect and we also tip them well for their service. The bartender, he knows my name and what my favorite drink is and how I like it. This not only impresses my clients, but they see that these people know me and respect me and I respect them as well.

Curious what the exercise regiment of choice is for the community? I have been doing boxing training for about 10 years. Now when I say training I’m not trying to go pro I just personally think it is the most fun way to burn calories. I found a great Boxing gym called Prevail that is also a great community of cool and supportive people. I take classes and private training on the weekends and typically supplement with bag work and a body weight regimen at home during the week. What about you gents?

Model Overview The Erebus Ascent 41 Aventurine, fitted with the J-bracelet, balances functional design with refined detail. It houses the Miyota 9015 automatic movement, complete with a color-matched date display that blends beautifully into the aventurine dial. The 41 mm stainless steel case features a careful mix of brushed and polished finishes, including mirror-polished accents along the bezel edge and the angled case sides. These touches, paired with exceptional finishing quality, give the watch a refined appearance without feeling overdone. My model was part of a shared anniversary purchase with my wife, who chose the 34 mm Duck Egg version, giving the piece an emotional connection from the start. Why I Bought It I chose the Ascent 41 for two main reasons: its dial and its symbolism. The aventurine dial immediately drew me in, a deep, glittering blue that feels alive under light. It was also a watch that fit comfortably within my budget, making it a sensible yet special choice. Having a matching pair for our anniversary made it even more personal. Before buying, I did have a small concern. My introduction to the Ascent 41 came through YouTube, and I worried that online hype might be influencing my judgment. However, several members of the watch community I trust spoke highly of Erebus and specifically praised this model, which reassured me. That mix of curiosity and community confidence ultimately led me to make the purchase. Features and Impressions After six days of daily wear, the Ascent 41 has left a strong positive impression. Despite being 41 mm, it wears smaller than expected. The case design and bracelet integration keep it sleek and well-proportioned. The aventurine dial remains the star, a dark field with countless flecks that shimmer like distant light. The brushed case surfaces contrast with the mirror-polished bezel edge, angled sides, and inner bracelet links, which together create an engaging interplay of texture and reflection. The finishing across all surfaces is excellent, especially for the price, and feels far beyond what I anticipated.

Hello everyone I am looking to buy a leather jacket and I found a great one but the problem is it's a bit short on the shoulder and long in the sleeve compared to my blazers ?Is the fit the same in these two and also is there really a noticeable difference between genuine leather or real leather and Nappa ?
