So on this Fun Fit Friday I am trying out one of the outfits I intend to take away to Japan at the end of September. The brown crew neck is one of the 3 new tops I purchased specifically for the trip, it is a long shiny knitted cotton top, one I can layer or just wear as an inbetween piece. Being brown it should go with pretty much everything I am taking away, which is mainly Green, Blue and Browns, I went for a little drive to find a nice place for photos, this “art work” is in the new area they are building in Googong as our little township grows, I tried a fun little photo in the first shot, but as you can see I stood a little to close to the edge of the frame. Still I was able to get my fun little photo and when I redo something similar I will make sure I set my Left and Right arcs better 🤭 Todays outfit (that will be going to Japan) consists of; Oxford Woolrich Mason Overcoat in Dark Olive Brixton Brood Snap Cap in Oatmeal and Charcoal houndstooth M.J.

I don't know about you guys, but Fall is by far my favorite season here in the Chicagoland area. You get to wear great shirts, boots, jackets and coats. I'm breaking into my Fall stuff a little early. Today I'm wearing my Timberland Pro pants, Smith Mills flannel, Hamilton Khaki King watch, and one of my pair of Asolo hiking boots. If you do any resl hiking or orienteering like I do, you owe it to yourself to try a pair of Asolo boots. They are true hikers, not your typical Merrell, Keen, or Salomon (although some of the Salomon boots are actually quite capable hikers, just not quite as hard core as the Asolo's) Wednesday is typically my last day of the week in the office as I'm generally remote on Thursday and Friday. I'll get back to my Wednesday suit days soon, too. Warner

I can't remember where I originally heard this, but it seems to be something a lot of people have either forgotten or never heard... The people that matter aren't impressed by things, they are only impressed by people. A Rolex on a random wrist means nothing more than a receipt. The important factor isn't the watch, but the wrist. Any interesting watch on an impressive gentleman's wrist becomes a status symbol - because of the wrist that's wearing it. There's a reason the phrase, "an empty suit," even exists. It's because the suit doesn't make the man; the man - or woman, for that matter - makes the suit. Buying things that a significant number of people can purchase does not impart status. Striving to be the best version of yourself, however, demonstrates a status that cannot be purchased...
