A day of meetings including meetings with two of our largest clients. I had a limited set of suits I could wear so that I was not wearing the same suit in from of either client in the last 5 visits, so you'll see the core of a suit similar to one last week (even the WC). The shoes are a new (to me) set, as @Jeffrey Plotka has shown us some beautiful woven leather shoes. It took me all of one wear to know I wanted a new pair. If you have any recommendations on a good brand/model of woven leather shoes (they do not need to be tassel loafers, like the ones I have on), please let me know! Here's the outfit: • Suit — SJ‑013, SL-022 (Mantoni): A light-gray Mantoni windowpane suit in airy woven wool, featuring a sophisticated navy and light blue windowpane check that reads refined without visual noise. The jacket is 80% lined with slight padding at the shoulders, offering a modern silhouette with two rear vents for ease of movement. At only 200g, this light wool suit is perfect for late-May weather, maintaining business-formal presence while keeping you comfortable through a full day of VC meetings. • Shirt — DS‑047 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A crisp white non-iron herringbone dress shirt from CT's slim-fit line, constructed from 2-ply cotton with French cuffs. The subtle herringbone texture provides visual depth against the gray windowpane suit while the classic point collar (with 2.8" collar height) creates a proper foundation for the day's tie. High opacity ensures a clean, professional look with any undershirt. • Undershirt — US‑003 (Pro Club): A heavyweight white cotton crew neck undershirt with medium-to-heavy drape—substantial enough to provide all-day comfort while remaining completely invisible under the opaque herringbone dress shirt. • Tie — NT‑054 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A rust orange silk print tie in a subtle birdseye pattern, hand-finished with a 3-fold construction and low sheen. At 3.5" width and 58" length, it creates the ideal knot proportions for the classic point collar. This is the tie's inaugural outing—a warm pop of color against the cool gray windowpane that projects autumn warmth without being seasonally out of place.
