Hope the Independence day was a good one. I had quite week, but even with disaster I kept a gentlemanly demeanor. I was about my business tho!

Gentlemen, here are a few standout posts from the RMRS community this week. 👏 Big shoutout to @Brian McGuire for his "Hot day Deux" outfit build — lime green RL polo, steel blue trousers, black linen sport coat, all accessorized with intention. A real outfit story with color logic and personal context, and the community showed up strong in the comments. Post: https://www.skool.com/rmrs/hot-day-duix 👏 Shoutout to @Mitch Hoover for bringing family into the conversation with "Investing in Grandkids." Roping with the grandkids, buying the gear, and asking what everyone else does for fun — it's the cross-generational connection that makes this community more than clothes. Post: https://www.skool.com/rmrs/investing-in-grandkids 👏 Shoutout to @Chad Smith for the 3-year transformation in "My Gosh" — poly-blend trousers and a merino sweater from the early RMRS days, versus his sharp looks from the last 7 days. This is the RMRS journey documented in photos, and the engagement says everyone felt it. Post: https://www.skool.com/rmrs/my-gosh 👏 And shoutout to @Alex Kilpatrick for asking "What Style Choice Shouldn't Matter But Still Bothers You?" — 34 comments of honest, funny self-reflection. Exactly the kind of discussion-starting energy that pulls the whole community in. Post: https://www.skool.com/rmrs/what-style-choice-shouldnt-matter-but-still-bothers-you Keep posting your outfits, wins, questions, and progress. These are the posts that help other men take action.

Moving the last of my things today. Have to get my son's Snake & tank from my friends house, so I need to be comfortable. Not a word about the hair, I'm keeping it out my face. 🤣 Eddie Bauer Henley Duckies work pant Timberland Moc heritage (No watch. Basket is still packed up somewhere) SOTD: Spicebomb extreme

So i bought my first ring, My journey to dress like a Man Starts …..

I haven't posted much here due to lack of getting my outfit game at a higher level (and work from home). I more often post in The Society of Ordinary Gents, since it's more of a catch-all for everything gentleman lifestyle related, rather than focusing on fashion. Most of us originally came from the GentZ Lobby/Lounge. Back on topic, my relatively inexpensive outfit is proof you don't need to dress like a slob (or as I often call it, the "homeless ex-convict" style I see here on the west coast - not disparaging those who actually suffer from either stigma; there are charities for that). While it did encourage me to stand with a better posture, it was comfortable enough in general. - Jacket: J. Ferrar/J. Ver; bought from Burlington Coat Factory around 2015 ($80 set with trousers) - Shirt: Alex Vando Seersucker striped button-down from Amazon ($20) - Tie: Ron Chereskin (original)/Scott Allan (closest equivalent), around $10 back in 2014 - Tie clip: "Swank" brand; inherited from my grandfather - Shoes: Bruno Marc double monk-strap ($30-$40) - SOTD: Stetson Black cologne ($22 for 3.4oz bottle), Bleu de Chanel aftershave lotion (set with cologne, $100 back in 2022), Stetson deodorant ($18 for 3-pack)
