Brisk sub thirties day thoughtI would wear my new grey flannel trousers and my new deep plumb tie. The trousers are Samuelsohn double forward pleats I got from my old co Harold’s worker Steve Giles. When I picked it up Friday I stopped by another ex Harold’s guy’s store down in OKC named Steve Haggard and picked up a very nice wool challis plumb tie made by Robert Jenson an ex Robert Talbott designer who started his own firm. I added my Robert Talbott blue brown windowpane wool sportcoat I bought from a different old boss down in Edmond at McCalls a dozen years ago. A blue sea island cotton CT shirt and a Triona brown herringbone with blue acccent overlay vest I picked up in Donegal Ireland 7 years ago formed a base. Grabbed a wool pocket square in brown, with Pantherella socks, and finished the OOTD with 1982 Alden shell Cordovan shoes, and a late 1940s Ernest Borell wristwatch.

Today I’m wearing my favorite watch again (RADO Florence)

Leather Car coats don't get a lot of love. I had to look at vintage sites to find one. I think they look great and help me stand out from the crowd.

No reason to get dressed up today. I just felt like it.

This was my outfit for the birthday celebration 🎊 for my friend
