"The most expensive part of a bad habit is rarely the action itself, but rather the identity it quietly reinforces underneath. The issue isn't skipping once. It's that you practiced being someone who skips. Now, that doesn't mean you need to be perfect. Everyone falls off from time to time. But it is good to have a plan for getting back on track quickly. And try to find a small way to practice being the type of person you want to be today." ~ James Clear

In-person meeting with an out-of-state employee and then dinner tonight with an important client. I've tried to keep the suit unencumbered. I'm sporting a new watch as well. • Suit — SJ‑014, SL-023 (Enzo Tovare): A navy Enzo Tovare 2-piece suit in Super 150s wool with a subtle sheen—cut in the modern Brit AMF style with roped & padded shoulders and high & tight armholes. The lightweight worsted fabric is supremely breathable while maintaining sharp business-formal presence. Notched lapels, dual rear vents, and fully lined construction project polished authority for client-facing meetings. • Shirt — DS‑010 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A CT spread-collar French-cuff dress shirt in white Burlington-weave twill. Medium-to-high opacity with a soft hand, exceptional stitch density (5/5), and crisp non-iron structure. The 5.5" spread collar and square-edge French cuffs elevate the look to true executive polish. Best paired with 2.25" collar stays. • Undershirt — US‑002 (Ralph Lauren Polo): A classic white cotton crew neck undershirt from Ralph Lauren. Reliably invisible beneath the opaque white dress shirt while providing all-day comfort for extended client meetings. • Tie — NT‑023 (Fort Belvedere): A Fort Belvedere 3-fold wool challis tie in navy with white polka dots—self-tipped with a keeper loop. The classic navy-and-white combination echoes the suit's colorway while the challis texture adds visual depth against the white shirt. At 3.5" width and 57" length, it knots beautifully under a spread collar. • Pocket Square — PS‑035 (Fort Belvedere): A 17" white Irish linen pocket square from Fort Belvedere with signature burgundy X-stitch edging. The burgundy accent introduces a subtle warm note that breaks the navy-white-silver palette without competing. A TV fold or puff provides crisp geometry against the navy jacket. • Belt — B‑001 (Hanks): A Hanks Highlined black leather belt with silver buckle—fully lined, top/bottom stitched, and featuring pill-shaped holes. Removable buckle, excellent fit, and perfectly matched to the black TLB Oxfords. A serious belt for serious meetings.
