The mad rush of phone calls and trying to get out the door I neglected to post. Plus a haircut in between. The 1/4 zip, Peter Millar The jeans, Daniel Cremieux The boots, Florsheim Chelsea Boots The scent, Blue de Chanel L’Exclusif The watch, AVI-8 The hair, by Holly Make it a good day.

Harried week and lots to try and do. I need a cloning machine... Outfit: • Shirt — DS‑043 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A sky‑blue spread‑collar French‑cuff dress shirt in non‑iron herringbone cotton, offering subtle texture with crisp structure. The herringbone weave adds depth while remaining conservative, making it an ideal foundation for a business‑formal suit. • Undershirt — US‑012 (True Classic): A navy crew‑neck undershirt in a light cotton‑poly blend, cut close to the body for a smooth silhouette. The darker tone prevents show‑through under the blue shirt while maintaining all‑day comfort. • Suit — SJ‑011, SL‑020 (Joseph Abboud): A mid‑gray two‑button wool suit with a fine mini‑check and slight sheen, projecting authority without visual heaviness. The structured shoulders and classic drape create a sharp, executive presence well suited for internal leadership meetings. • Tie — NT‑008 (Berma Bilas): A medium‑blue silk tie with charcoal, white, and silver repeating geometric motifs. The restrained pattern complements the herringbone shirt without competing, reinforcing a polished, analytical aesthetic. Tie recommendation: Half‑Windsor for balance with the spread collar. • Pocket Square — PS‑011 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A solid sky‑blue cotton pocket square that quietly echoes the shirt while staying subordinate to the tie. Folded in a clean TV fold, it reinforces business‑formal discipline. • Belt — B‑003 (Nordstrom Mercer): A black leather belt with a simple silver buckle, understated and properly formal. The clean hardware aligns seamlessly with the watch case and cufflink metals. • Socks — DSo‑075 (Fort Belvedere): Over‑the‑calf gray cotton socks with a blue shadow stripe, providing subtle continuity with the tie and shirt. Excellent stay‑up performance ensures a clean line when seated. • Cufflinks — CL‑009 (Fort Belvedere): Platinum‑tone eagle‑claw cufflinks with onyx spheres, offering controlled symbolism and depth. They add gravitas without flash, appropriate for senior leadership contexts.

10th anniversary wedding present from the wife back in 2014. Stopped working in the spring and I finally got around to getting it fixed. Back in the rotation! Bulova.
