Today I have my weekly chiropractor appointment, then later this evening I am having my Mop Chopped at Dirty Chops. I just figured it would be better for the chiropractor if he didn’t need to work around my distracted or a tie, so I have gone with. About casual look. For the walk to school drop off this morning I chose my Peacoat and a fedora as it was a very light drizzel and the M.J. Bale coats have a range called Acqua. Which means that they are water and oil resistant. Pretty much when I got home I just brushed the Erebus off the outside of the coat and it was dry again. The Cardigan was for sitting inside working and not turning the heater on in these times for expensive living. Todays outfit consists of; M.J. Bale Pascal Peacoat, crafted from 100% merino wool and woven in a Super 110's cloth, part of the Acqua range it is oil, and stain-resistance, ensuring both style and practicality Levi 501 Orogional Jeans in Indigo Charles Tyrwhitt OCBD Non-Iron Shirt in Sky Blue Anson Seal 🦭 Blue Buffalo 🦬 leather Strap on a traditional gunmetal buckle with a curve Monterey Black Bean Bracelet OTAA Jack O’ Cups Shattuckite Skull Bracelet Stanton Gentlemen Fedora in Charcoal My Supercool looking Spider-Man socks CNES MTO Oxford with Goodyear welted, crafted from Italian crust leather M.J.

Sitting at LAX awaiting my fight to San Francisco. Typical commentary on the dress of passengers is in place but I will look for further signs of green shoots! (Cuffs are sticking way out given the seated position) • Suit — SJ-010, SL-019 (Ralph Lauren): A light brown Ralph Lauren Lauren Green Label suit in wool basket weave, with subtle dark brown and cream secondary tones. The jacket features rope & lightly padded shoulders, single vent, notched lapels, and beautiful mother of pearl buttons—85% lined with a business casual formality that reads approachable rather than stuffy. Perfect for a client who prefers understated elegance over formal rigidity. • Shirt — DS-043 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A sky blue non-iron herringbone dress shirt with a spread collar and French cuffs. High opacity cotton with excellent stitch density and a slim cut—the mid-blue undertones harmonize beautifully with the warm browns of the suit while the French cuffs accommodate statement cufflinks for my bespoke fitting. • Undershirt — US-007 (Pro Club): A chocolate-colored heavy cotton crew neck undershirt. Won't show through the high-opacity herringbone and coordinates with the brown suit palette—invisible but purposeful. • Tie — NT-032 (Fort Belvedere): A mélange silk knit tie from Fort Belvedere in brown with blue, red, green, and cream undertones. The thick, square-ended knit construction adds texture without overwhelming the herringbone shirt, while the earthy color story ties (pun intended) the whole ensemble together. Business casual formality that speaks sophistication. • Pocket Square — PS-004 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A light blue medallion pocket square in silk & wool with navy, brown, and white accents. The blue echoes the shirt while the brown coordinates with the suit—presented in a puff fold to keep the ensemble relaxed and approachable. • Belt — B-001 (Hanks): A black Hanks Highlined leather belt with silver buckle, top/bottom stitching, and pill-shaped holes. Fully lined for durability and structure—coordinating with the black shoes and watch strap for a unified leather story.
