Does eating at McDonalds wearing a Scottish tartan tie count? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Had to do a quick change to meet a client at McDonald’s. Grabbed my old chambray shirt and a tartan tie I picked up in Scotland a few of months back. Went for the old stand by Navy HSM blazer and Orvis Moleskin deep tan trousers, Pantherella socks, Orvis field watch and Martin Dingman loafers.

Today is the first day of the conference I am attending in Vienna, though I will not be at the conference center itself. I have some internal meetings during the day and a client meeting at night. That will be the typical daily schedule of meetings from breakfast through 5pm then dinner from 7-10 at night. Sleep for 4-5 hours, wake up early for email checks and schedule changes, and go again! It's not too many days, so it can be fun to be manic for a 1/2 of a week. As I somehow agreed to Lebanese food for lunch, I had to add in a good steak dinner for tonight. A fun aside on the photo with a table full of dress gloves. I owned a pair of hunter green (labelled as racing green, which they are not) peccary gloves for all of a week and one wear before I lost them. I somehow found them in a bag I had with me on this trip! That now gives me 5 pairs of dress gloves, way more than this Southern Californian needs. Thankfully, when I replaced the lost gloves, I did not replicate the color thereby allowing their find to add to the breadth of available colors. This results in one pair of lined lamb Napa gloves and four pairs of unlined peccary gloves. If you ever go for peccary, I urge you to get them unlined. One of the characteristics that makes these gloves great is their incredible feel. Adding a lining negates that feeling except when putting them on. Today’s conference outfit centers on a dark-blue Peter Millar suit, a textured white French-cuff shirt, and a mottled burgundy grenadine tie. Brown leather accessories add warmth, while a charcoal overcoat and gray fedora give the outdoor layers a classic finish. • Suit — SJ-002, SL-011 (Peter Millar): A dark-blue Peter Millar suit pairing a jacket with tiny lighter-blue boxes and subtly textured herringbone trousers. The two-button jacket, notched lapels, and restrained blue palette establish a business-formal foundation without looking flat. • Shirt — DS-054 (Brisk): A pearl-white cotton dobby shirt with comfort-stretch finishing, a classic straight collar, and French cuffs. Its subtle woven texture adds interest beneath the suit while keeping the shirt a quiet backdrop for the burgundy tie.

https://www.mmsfuneralhomes.com/obituaries/james-franklin Today we said our final farewells to James Lewis Franklin a friend of mine and one of the two founders of J. Farley’s. Timmy and I have spent countless hours at J Farley’s Americanized Irish Pub(lic -House). Jason Farley was a local Fireman/hero who lost his life while saving several families from rising flood waters. Tim’s Father, Bishop Wantland blessed the opening of each location. On Timmy’s death bed I made three promises: to save Farley’s; to finish our book; and to do our last album. In a few weeks that first promise will be fulfilled. If the new owners get their liquor license squared away this week, two of my bands will play 11/20 commemorating Tim’s passing 11/18/2025. We had a reception at Farley’s today following James’s funeral. I spoke briefly at the eulogy stating thatJames passed knowing his eternity was secured a year ago at the church the funeral was held at the urging of Chris the other owner of Farley’s and that James’s beloved J. Farley’s would soon re-open. Just a reminder for each of us to celebrate the fantastic yet fleeting gift of life. James at 5’ 5” lived life large and sucked the marrow out of life scuba diving all over the world, skydiving and riding motorcycles across the country that he had built, doing woodworking that was throughout the pub, and hunting and fishing with his buddy Chris.

My first question when i joined the RMRS group was about how to combine my orange Armani tie in my outfit, and I got the help and combined it with navy-blue. Here are 3 of my 9 tweed sports coats combined with my orange tie. Tweed will be in for ever for me.
