Funny morning. Woke up to messages from my mom helping her with her home sale. Here at the cabin by the river I had no cell coverage so I drove into the little town nearby to talk to her still in my PJ bottoms, $1 WalMart trophy husband T shirt my wife bought for me and garden shoes. Of course got stopped by a policeman (warning) for driving 41 in a 30. 🚔. Then I stopped to get some gas. But when the pump read pay inside I looked down. Even in this tiny OK fishing town. I just ain’t “that” guy. Still have half a tank will take care of the gas later 😉

Today is all about finalizing the big tasks of the week and preparing to enjoy a three-day weekend in the states. I'm also having a bit of sartorial free-for-all with a summery outfit including seersucker pants. Have a great weekend, everyone! • Blazer — DOJ-006 (Brooks Brothers): A midnight blue (I'm nearly convinced it's a mislabeled black, until I put it next to black) Brooksool blazer with classic brass buttons in a 2-roll-3 configuration. Full acetate lining with rope-padded shoulders and high, tight armholes for a sharp silhouette. The gold buttons echo the gold hardware on today's suspenders, creating subtle metallic harmony throughout the outfit. • Slacks — SL-024 (Brooks Brothers Seersucker): White and mid-blue seersucker trousers from Brooks Brothers in the Fitzgerald cut. High-rise construction with cotton seersucker weave—perfect for late May's warming temperatures. These are rated for both belt and suspenders, making today's braces pairing ideal. • Shirt — DS-043 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A sky blue non-iron herringbone spread-collar dress shirt with French cuffs. Cotton construction with excellent stitch density (5/5) and soft hand feel. The 5" spread collar pairs beautifully with a Half Windsor knot, and the adjustable French cuffs add appropriate formality for the VC meeting. • Undershirt — US-022 (Sene): A white Peruvian Pima cotton made-to-measure undershirt with fantastic fit. Heavy weight with excellent drape—won't show through the sky blue shirt while providing premium all-day comfort. • Tie — NT-042 (Silvio Fiorello): The Renaissance Elegance Light Blue—a Duchesse silk 3-fold tie with two-ply wool interlining. Blue, navy, off-white, and teal in varied geometric patterns create sophisticated visual interest. Hand-rolled edges and self-tipping. Tied in a Half Windsor to complement the spread collar. Tone-on-tone elegance with the sky blue shirt. • Suspenders — SB-003 (JJ Suspenders): Navy Baby Skinny Suspenders in cotton elastic with brown leather Y-back and gold hardware. The 0.75" width is modern and refined, while the navy echoes the seersucker stripes and blazer. Brown leather accents bridge to the dirty bucks.
