I just bought these and a brown pair, too. I wanted casual. What do you think?

Preparing for the family trip where I am taking wife son and daughter in law to Scotland. The first few days are in Edinburgh. Looking through the Bespoke tailors there online is a a very dangerous activity. Don’t need to be reduced to panhandling to afford to get home 😳 https://stewartchristie.com/products/harris-tweed-jacket-in-grey-wp

I have only really become a shoe guy since joining this great group of gents. Pictured, is my new pair of Allen Edmond tassel loafers. I really like burgundy or ox-blood anything, especially shoes. But, there is no way I could afford these new at $450.00, but I can afford them used off of eBay for $30.00 including shipping! Yes, the soles have some wear, but I don’t care. I’m slowly building a small collection of older AE’s. Did I mention I really like them?

This weekend I finally found some well fitting pants and a polo. These are from Dillard. Apparently it’s their exclusive line for their stores. The brand is Murano. It seemed I got a great deal for clothes that actually fit off the rack. The pants are slightly long but I’m learning that’s an easy fix with a trip to the tailor. What I wasn’t realizing is that the pants are 97% cotton and 3% spandex and although I ironed them nicely, by the time I got to work, they were already wrinkled. Has anyone else dealt with this issue? Any advice on taking care of them and keeping them from wrinkling so easily? I really like the clothes and am happy with the purchase as long as I figure out the wrinkling issue. Oddly, the polo shirt I bought is 100% cotton and does not have the wrinkle issue. Any advice and feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks gents.

Lots of internal meetings to advance all of the adjacent client meetings this week. We're busy enough that I had to cancel my attendance in the family's third trip this summer. I had a heart to heart with my son, who is leaving for college right after the third trip, to ensure he understood why and had a chance to discuss. He immediately understood and knows this year is a very big deal for the company's growth and long-term strategy. Sharing my company's goals with not just my wife, but also my boys, provides benefits beyond them just appreciating what goes into running a business. It helps them understand the importance of hard work, dedication, and occasionally, sacrifice. Another moderately warm day here, so the linen blend suit felt like the right call. Today’s Outfit — Summer Suit with Tuesday-Rule Focus Color and seasonality: The look starts with a matte mid-blue summer suit and crisp white shirt, then adds cream, sand, cocoa, and burgundy for controlled warmth. The wool-silk-linen cloth, half-lined jacket, white ground, and pale accessories keep the August presentation light; richer brown-red accents add depth without making it feel autumnal. Tuesday rule: NT-076 is today’s qualifying anchor with it being the first wear. It meets Tuesday’s priority while also improving the outfit through its seasonally appropriate cream-and-brown palette. • Suit — SJ-017, SL-026 (Suitsupply): A matching mid-blue suit in matte, summer-weight wool, silk, and linen, with a natural-shouldered, half-lined two-button jacket and straight-leg cuffed trousers. The airy plain weave suits an August day while remaining business-formal enough for video leadership work and a polished medical appointment. • Shirt — DS-040 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A crisp white non-iron, two-ply cotton-twill shirt with a classic point collar and rounded French cuffs. Its bright neutral color sharpens the mid-blue suit and gives the cream-and-brown tie a clean, seasonally light canvas. • Undershirt — US-003 (Pro Club): A white heavyweight-cotton crew-neck undershirt with a secure, comfortable fit. The white-on-white pairing keeps it visually quiet beneath the dress shirt.
