The first day in a while that is mostly just a regular day. We're doing some key opinion leader interviews to get at the current and expected future trust for using AI in our field. Even this current AI leader is skeptical on automated processes. Basically, AI is a tool, not a replacement for humans. A more basic outfit today, though I used Friday rules to ensure a few items were from the least worn of my wardrobe items. • Shirt — DS-025 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A sky blue Classic Winchester poplin stripe dress shirt with crisp white stripes running vertically through the cotton weave. French cuffs and a 5.66" spread collar give it business-formal bones, while the slim cut maintains a modern silhouette—ideal for video calls and in-person meetings alike. The 2.5" collar stays keep everything sharp under a vest, and the light-to-moderate drape breathes well for a warm late-spring Friday. • Undershirt — US-008 (Pro Club): A tan heavy-weight cotton crew neck that disappears under the sky blue shirt without any show-through risk. The tan undertone warms the blue fabric slightly rather than washing it out with stark white. • Slacks — SL-017 (Bachrach): Dark brown virgin wool trousers with a subtle herringbone pattern, triple-pleated and cut in a classic American silhouette. Made in the USA with 3/4 lining and mid-rise comfort, they anchor the outfit in rich earth tones while the heavy wool drapes beautifully without appearing stiff. Perfect for grounding a brown-forward Friday ensemble. VWC-007 (Joseph Abboud): A khaki linen herringbone vest with dark brown secondary tones and a silver slide buckle at the rear. The polyester-lined single-breasted design features five buttons and slot pockets on both sides—slightly roomy at XL but comfortable for warm-weather business wear. • Tie — NT-028 (Fort Belvedere): A golden-brown two-tone silk knit tie in Fort Belvedere's signature crunchy Swiss Cri de la Soie mottled silk. At 2.5" wide with a square blade, it's deliberately casual leaning while maintaining executive polish. The knit texture creates subtle dimension against the smooth poplin shirt, and the brown-on-brown palette keeps the earth tones cohesive without being monotone.

Good Evening Fellas, Me, my wife, and daughter are going out to eat and I wanted to know from you guys how does this outfit look? Happy Holidays everyone.

Second day at the new job. How I look?

I was getting ready for my weekly Wednesday 6:30 AM men’s group while my wife was still sleeping. So as I grabbed 501 Levi’s I wore yesterday and in my dark closet put together my OOTD by iPhone flashlight, I was contemplating my personal style. Over the past couple of day’s I’ve blathered on about the terms old money and preppy and how each is fraught with the danger reducing Classic Timeless Menswear to merely another fashion category. Antonio’s recent video I spoke about yesterday did a brilliant job of describing why “ old money” style is so much more than just a fashion term: https://www.skool.com/rmrs/mia-culpa-antonio?p=9d9bbd8d Rather than create a name for my personal style myself, I choose to borrow from Harold Powell for whom I worked in my 20’s. He private labeled his casual wear Old School and I remember him telling me why that best described what he was doing and how that differed from other stores in the South Central USA. Harold was a product of The University of Oklahoma -Established Dec. 19, 1890 -17 years before statehood. https://journals.shareok.org/soonermagazine/article/download/11147/11146 https://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry?entry=HA028 Like many other state universities, the school song and school colors were “borrowed” from east coast colleges. (Boomer Sooner is the Yale Boola Boola song for the Bulldogs and OU’s Crimson and Cream are Harvard’s colors). Harold worked for the McCalls brothers ( a firm I worked for before Harold’s ) but his mother owned the building they were in and when they moved he opened his own shop in their old location in 1948 across Boyd Street from the OU campus. He chose to go a different direction in styling than most west coast clothing oriented stores in Oklahoma and focused on the East Coast, a bold and risky move at that time. His philosophy was to adopt styles that were more perpetual and rather than have a vast array of colors and designs (wide and shallow), he would provide an extremely limited design and limited colors with a lot of minute details (narrow and deep) Explained further - all his coats had a 3/2 roll and all his trousers had deep double forward pleates. Beyond the tweeds in fall or shantung silks or seersuckers for summer, every brand was offered in Navy, multiple shades of Grey, tans, and olives. Ties were classic stripes and foulards primarily and shirtings were mainly oxfords with some stripes and tattersalls. Footwear was of very high quality but clearly defined traditional styles.

Good Evening Fellas, just wanted to say I start a new job tomorrow. I went from managing a facility to now I’m working in the corporate office managing. Just wanted some advice or words of encouragement from you all. I’ll also post my outfit that I will wear for tomorrow and throughout the week too.
