Ladies and Gentlemen, We have come to the end of another year. If you are like me there were some great moments and some difficult moments. But if you made to this point and are reading this you are blessed. As we enter into 2026 there are some uncertainties and unfortunately one is how this community will change with the beginning of the pay membership. Please don’t get me wrong I am not complaining I understand that everything cost. But for me, I had to evaluate and look and what is available and what I can do. Unfortunately at the moment I will not be staying on as a paying customer, I am hoping that this will not come to past but if it does then I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your friendship, your support, and your kindness. I have met some outstanding people in this community and all of you have been a great influence in my life over the year that I will take with me from here on out. I have learned a lot from each of you that money cannot buy. And for this I am truly grateful. I wish the best for all of you and I will continue to hold the values and principles that I have gained from this community and each of you. In His Service, Anthony Buntyn

When your job regularly requires you to wear all black, you get creative. Stay in the box while standing out is tricky. String quartet gig tonight in South Florida for some corporate cocktail hour. Suit: Indochino 3-piece suit Shirt: Banana Republic Poplin Tie: I don't know, some faux silk black tie I've had for decades Shoes: Allen Edmonds Park Avenue Watch: Citizen Scent: Tom Ford Oud Minerale Underwear: Spider-man briefs (kidding!) What I love about the vest is that I can tie a full Windsor with a regular length tie (6'4", can't do it with standard lengths).

I may not be feeling my best but I always try to look my best. White tee, Brown Bomber, Brown Chelseas, Blue Jeans and my trusty Gold Chain. I'm going to be OK, Are you OK? 🐺

Hey Gents, I would like some advice on getting professional measurements without buying a suit during that visit. I found an option, and it became a Christmas gift from my wife 🎄. She created the "coupon" I've posted. I booked an appointment, but when I arrived, they no longer offered the service (I’ve blanked out the retailer’s name in the photo because I don’t feel it’s appropriate to publish). My main focus is on Trousers, Sportcoats, and Shirts. Any ideas? Or must I be ready to purchase a suit to get this done professionally? I appreciate your thoughts.
