Good morning again gentlemen, You know being on this journey has made more aware of not just people’s clothing, their style, but also their actions, demeanor, and their character as a whole. The one thing that I noticed and I am embarrassed to say I have been guilty of this, is the lack of genuine politeness and greetings towards people. I see this behavior more and more and it really bothers me, that we tend to not greet one another anymore. I see people walk by each other and not even acknowledge their presence. What happened to the days of greeting people? I am not saying that you have to greet each and every person that you see on a crowded street. But people will not even acknowledge their presence of the person right in front of them or when the are walking through a door, they will walk right past a person and look straight ahead as if they they not even see the person in front of them or off to the side of them. There was a time when men acknowledged a lady by the tipping of the hat, a greeting of the day, for men a simple smile and a nod of their head, something. We have taught our men and especially young men that you have to be hard and show no emotion or gesture towards anyone especially another man. Now men only greet women if they want something from them a number, a date, or lord for bid something other. They only greet other men if it is someone they know. Is it really that difficult to be courteous and greet people? And who knows you might just give that person who is having a bad day hope. So gentlemen, let’s start a trend , let’s start being more cognitive of greeting people and especially giving a proper and cordial greeting. I know you some are thinking one person is not gong to make a difference, but if you as one person does and each of us as one person does this can become infectious. And sometimes by taking that initiative, you are bringing awareness to others of their actions and their lack of being cordial. Will you take this challenge and join me. I Would love to hear what your feedback is after the holiday’s, how this went for you. Even if you are already doing this, join this challenge and be more engaging with people and let’s see if we of the RMRS Community can make a difference.

On this brisk morning I broke out a cardigan I’ve had since my early 30s and built my outfit from there. I saw in the community an amusing discourse about cardigans and cable knits being relegated to one’s age. Absurd. Been wearing them since my 20s. These staples of Classic timeless menswear are by definition: timeless. This particular one is a Scottish lambswool I picked up from Harold’s circa late 1980 early 1990s. I added my 20 year old MTM smoky green crepe wool sports coat and 20 year old MTM charcoal grey calvary twill double pleates trousers. A CT basket weave Oxford shirt backdropped my newest plumb colored wool challis club tie with grouse. A brownish pocket square seemed to pick up the brownish background of my sweater and as I love to do this time of year, I slipped in my oxblood Lucessee ropers for both warmth and coloration. My green faced Orvis field watch seemed to work.

G’Day Gents it’s me again, I just wanted to let you all know that there’s a good chance that I won’t be able to continue my involvement within this community beyond 2026. Whilst I fully understand the reasoning behind Antonio’s decision to monetise this forum, I’ll only continue my involvement within this group if it’s financially viable and as of right now that’s unlikely as I’m on a very small income stream. It breaks my heart to think I may have to choose between leaving a wonderful online community of men and financial stability as it’s uncertain whether my income will increase enough for me to fully involve myself within this community daily, in fact not since Thursday December 19th last year have I missed a day of engagement (49.5 Weeks give or take). However, the universe works in mysterious ways, if my song as one of the earliest and most loyal members of this group (a Colonel no less) comes to an end in 2026 so be it, but if fate dictates that my song as a proud RMRS Skool member is far from finished, I’ll proudly continue my involvement for the foreseeable future. - Banjo
