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.

Simple outfit for a walk by the river in London. Levi's, H&M jacket, Reebok trainers...

Basically being the ROTD simply means the guy or lady who finds and introduces the speaker. Happens about 3x per year for me in our size club. My speaker today was my friend Tad Jones. Tad played football for old Miss then transferred to Tulsa University where was the Quarterback. After that he was elected to the State House of Representatives (our band played for the house in the floor back then at his invite). He was the floor Leader for the house. Then he took the role of marketing director for Grand Lake of the Cherokees here in Oklahoma and in the middle of a toxic red algae scare his get-er-done approach landed the Bass Masters and instead of a horrible tourist season it saw its largest. Following that he took over as the Executive director of the Will Rogers Museum (WR is Oklahoma’s favorite son). Against unsurmountable (seemingly) odds he has recently raised over $18 million for a complete renovation of the memorial that will start August 14th. Thought that deserved a suit. • 1985 MTM navy herringbone • paisley tie • wool pocket square • white French cuff CT short • antique shamrock cufflinks • Pantherella blue socks • J Fitzpatrick cap toes • 1940’s Bulova watch
