We ordered new LG washer and dryer machines the other night. Clearly our current dryer got the message and utterly imploded. Brother in law lives a mile away and is more than giving. I am dressed for a day of housework and laundry, or so I thought. I am wearing my most cherished Christmas present, corduroys from Fort Belvedere from my wife. In the process of prepping the laundry, on my first day wearing these most comfortable pants ever, I may have spilled bleach on this. They are treated and hopefully will come out well. Today’s Outfit Shirt - Blue pullover long sleeve heavy cotton shirt from Tommy Bahama. Pants - dark brown corduroy Stancliffe pants from Fort Belvedere. Shoes - Nordstrom open weave sneaker like shoes Socks - Fort Belvedere dark brown on mid blue OTC socks Belt - (hidden) Hanks Belt mid brown suede with a silver buckle

I tested out my wool Pea Coat New Year’s Eve. I would normally dress in a couple of layers, especially when outside but last night I spent 4+ hours outside wearing a hoodie and pair of light jeans and a toboggan so I could see just how warm a true wool coat could be. I was really surprised by how comfortable I stayed the entire time in this coat. Temps were down to 36 degrees and breezy but I never got cold. I have been looking into how people used to stay warm before all of the modern synthetic clothing inventions we have now like Goretex and Thinsulate and Polartec etc.

Lost 50 pounds in 4 months. Now my trousers are all way to big. So I just gather the excess on the sides for now. Any other suggestions while I get around to buying new trousers.
