An older friend passed away recently and his visitation was tonight. ID was a full time farmer and part time business man. His obituary described him perfectly; he was a gentleman’s gentleman. Therefore I decided to wear my suit, although I expected to be one of very few (if any) dressed to that level. It is a rural area, so mostly only the older folks dress up. Glen Plaid suit by Paul Betenly-charcoal colored Light blue dress shirt-David Donahue Tie-Blue Foulard silk from The Dark Knot (Thanks, @Antonio O. Centeno !) Shoes- Allen Edmond burgundy wingtip brogues (Thanks, eBay) Belt-Anson burgundy Socks- dark blue Calvin Klein Pocket Square- dark blue, no pattern I’d like the coat to be cut an inch longer, and my pants need to be re-pressed…they drape oddly at the bottom. Otherwise, I think I’m good to go! Accompanied, of course by my wife of 44 years, Cindy.

I've teased the idea a couple times at work but it's been too cold for my current wardrobe. Since it's wind chill of 28 when leaving I threw on a quarter zip but didn't realize the collar is waaay too tall for the blazer when taking the picture, so I'll be taking it off at work (plus it's typically excessively hot inside). Black dockers from JCPenney Summer chinos from Levi Polo from Express Quarter zip from Collars and Co Blazer from that crappy mall suit store but it fit decently well in house and I liked it, so I had it tailored 🤪.
