Tan-Taupe-Sage
In late August /early September the autumn woolens arrived ready to be stocked at the stores where I worked. Admittedly I am a far bigger fan of the fall clothes over summer. But Mr Heat Miser isn’t done with us yet here in the central South of the US. So my business casual OOTD consisted of: Brooks Brothers 100% linen plaid sport coat Sage green cotton Pendleton short sleeve shirt Taupe worsted wool trousers Pantherella socks Martin Dingman loafers 1949 Ernest Borel automatic watch I am ready for sweater weather

Looks great. I really like the color. I have a question about linen coats. They are purported to be cool-is that due to the weave or the material? Linen as a material doesn't seem particularly cool, but it invites/requires a looser weave that is cooler than most fabrics. At least I think that is the case. I don't know much about linen clothing but would like to learn. Is your coat cooler than a summer weight wool coat? Is it due to the weave or the material or both?
2/9 2 Years Ago Today
G’Day Gents, Today marks the 2-year anniversary of the housefire that ravaged our house, which led to a 9-month long renovation of our abode, and whilst the worst is very much behind us, I still remember that faithful night from time to time, especially on days like today. I have made a few previous posts about this event, however we've had a large influx of new members joining our esteemed group, and I wanted to relay this story in the hopes of inspiring them when the going gets tough, and to showcase that hard work and varying levels of faith, are the key do extinguishing the darkness of sorrow to give way to the light of hope.

I have never gone through a fire, though I know people who have. Floods aren't as frightening, but usually strike many homes in a given area so local resources are strained. Fires are so frightening and so dangerous. I am thankful you made it through as well as you did. Blessings, and resilience make the difference.
Horsemanship question
How important is horsemanship to the modern-day gentleman? Hundred years ago I'd say it was a very important subject to be learned, but now days I'd say a majority of men have little to no idea how to ride a horse. I use a horse for my job, so horsemanship is important skill for me. For a banker man though, I'd say basic vehicle maintenance is the modern day equivalent. What are y'all thoughts?

It helps to round out one's experiences. Valuable but there are other things one can do with one's time. That said, I wish I had learned to ride when I was young.
Help buying shirts
I need help buying shirts-specifically the shoulders. How does one judge the shoulder width on a shirt bought mail-order? Large is too large me me (usually), but Medium is too small in the chest. When I pay attention to such things, I notice I rarely get it right. How do you select the right size shirt when ordering online?

Thanks! Try as many as possible seems the best answer. If I go to the store and find a shirt that fits, I am not taking the chance that I might miss it ordering online. :) Fit is king. For online, a generous return policy. Though as I understand it, companies don't try to resell returns-they get "recycled" to the landfill. It Seems a waste, but that is the modern world.
