OOTD-CW - 18 February 2026

It's a cold day after an incredibly rare thunderstorm all night long. Lots of critical work including client meetings, so the cold with the formality means a newish double-breasted suit.

Written by the AI tool, so it’s flowery again…

• Shirt — DS‑038 (Savile Row Company): A Savile Row Company pinhole‑collar French‑cuff dress shirt in pristine white twill. Its classic cut, soft hand, and structured pin‑collar architecture create a refined, old‑world professionalism ideal for client‑facing video calls. The crisp twill lends excellent on‑camera clarity.

• Undershirt — US‑022 (Sene): A custom MTM Sene Pima‑cotton stretch undershirt in white—exceptional breathability, soft elasticity, and perfect body conformity. Completely invisible beneath today’s formal drape.

• Slacks — SL‑017 (Bachrach): Bachrach virgin‑wool double‑pleated slacks in a deep, earthy brown herringbone. Heavyweight drape with a strong business presence. Their rich color and textured weave ground the navy jacket with timeless sophistication.

• Suit Jacket — SJ‑008 (Bachrach): A Bachrach double‑breasted herringbone suit jacket in dark brown virgin wool. Rope‑padded shoulders and a full viscose/rayon lining deliver structure and gravitas, while the herringbone texture reads beautifully on video—distinguished without distraction.

• Tie — NT‑041 (Fort Belvedere): A Fort Belvedere navy grenadine silk tie—true garza weave, three‑fold, untipped. Matte, textured, and absolutely business formal. Its deep navy tone harmonizes with the white pin‑collar and the rich browns of the tailoring.

• Belt — B‑009 (Nordstrom): A Nordstrom dark‑brown leather dress belt with a clean silver buckle. Conservative, understated, and perfectly aligned with the footwear and metallic accents.

• Footwear — DSh‑009 (TLB Mallorca): TLB Mallorca’s wholecut Oxford “Goya” in black box‑calf, crafted in Spain on a sleek almond last. A Goodyear‑welted, closed‑channel sole with refined beveling and real leather stiffeners gives it a top‑tier dress pedigree. The uninterrupted wholecut upper creates a strikingly elegant silhouette, while the black box‑calf delivers deep, even shine potential. A refined, high‑confidence choice for business formal settings.

• Socks — DSo‑073 (Fort Belvedere): Fort Belvedere over‑the‑calf cotton dress socks in brown with a striking bright‑blue shadow stripe. Excellent stay‑up performance and a subtle chromatic link to the navy grenadine tie.

• Cufflinks — CL‑003 (Hugo Boss): Hugo Boss polished‑silver cufflinks in a bold‑cut rectangular design. Modern, clean, and perfectly matched to the cool silver of the collar pin and belt buckle.

• Pocket Square — PS‑009 (Fort Belvedere): Fort Belvedere white linen square with hand‑stitched blue X‑edge. Crisp, conservative, and ideal for video clarity. Adds a precise, icy note of polish to the jacket’s chest pocket.

• Tie Accessory — TA‑006 (Savile Row Company): A Savile Row Company silver collar pin (globe‑on‑disc ends), giving the grenadine tie a gentle lift and producing that soft roll characteristic of classic English elegance.

• Pen — P‑001 (Montblanc): The Montblanc 146 LeGrand—black resin, platinum trim. A symbol of leadership and refinement during notes or brief on‑camera appearances.

• Ring — R‑001 (Ellie’s Jewelry): A platinum wedding ring with diamonds—timeless, understated, and complementary to the silver metal theme of today’s outfit.

• Left Watch — W‑003 (Fossil): The Fossil Neutra Quartz on a dark‑brown leather strap—clean, legible, and harmonized with the belt and shoes.

• Right/Ankle Watch — W‑001 (Apple): Apple Watch 10 in titanium slate—functional and unobtrusive, supporting your workflow without visual noise.

• Business Card Case — BCC‑002 (Fort Belvedere): A brown bison‑leather business‑card case with tan interior—soft patina, structured form, and ideal for in‑person follow‑ups or desk presentation.

• Gloves — GL‑001 (Fort Belvedere): If heading outside: Fort Belvedere cashmere‑lined lamb‑nappa gloves in midnight‑blue/gray—luxurious warmth with impeccable touch‑screen usability.

• Fragrance — FR‑013 (Roberto Ugolini “Patina”): A resinous, amber‑woody extrait with warm spices and contemplative depth. Complex, mature, and perfect for cooler‑weather leadership days. Quietly powerful on a business call.
