So I came upon this coat and trousers ensemble today and was especially intrigued by the weight of the trousers. They are somewhat high waisted and heavy, and will need to be altered. Surprisingly, the three-roll-two jacket fit perfectly. The label inside the jacket says Mister Guy, which advertises itself as a fine men’s clothing store in St. Louis. I really don’t know how to describe the wool cloth or the pattern, but I cannot wait until next fall to put together an English/country outfit in the spirit of @Brian McGuire. Oh, and forgive the polo shirt…I was trying to hurry and get photos. Coat and trousers like new…$18.00. So, as I study the pics, I probably needed to stand up straighter. It would make the shoulders fit better and shorten the sleeves. It was a long day! 🥴

If you were fortunate enough to listen to Tim Hermes, co-founder of montereywatches.com, on the speaker moment in January, kyou had the opportunity to tap into a members only discount code for 24-hours. Monterey has just dropped a new release of one of his previously sold-out models- the Slipstream with new upgrades and more colors. AND a new code SCOTTRMRS for $120 off. I'm digging the Minty Monty myself. Have a great weekend.

Hi all. I am nearing the point where shorts are just not something I prefer to wear. I am blessed with good legs, I live in an area where shorts are both ideal for warm summer days and socially acceptable in way too many areas. I have four pairs of Chinos. They serve their part but are a bit bland when it’s that or jeans. Chinos are better than jeans on warm days, so that got me thinking about other casual pants for warm weather. So, I have two questions. First, if anyone has now or previously had casual linen pants, how well do they work for warm days. Second, does anyone have a brand they recommend? Many thanks!

I'm out of town, by myself, for the weekend for an appointment tomorrow. As luck would have it - or perhaps as I planned it - my favorite band is playing at my favorite venue this evening, and I happen to have a ticket! 😁 My favorite band is Sister Hazel; they've been my favorite band since high school - mostly, admittedly, for nostalgic reasons. However, a lot of their songs really spoke to me - most of which were never played on the radio. I didn't understand why until years later, but it's suffice to say that the lead singer and I have a surprising amount of things in common, from a particular perspective. They're playing at Avondale Brewing Company, which is my favorite concert venue. You'll understand why when I post pictures from the concert later. I brought five outfits for this trip, including my traveling outfit - all of which feature Criquet polo shirts. Incidentally, they will all feature Erebus watches, but that's a coincidence - I started with the Criquet polos...
