A bit of a slow day today, working on two clients proposals and a few internal meetings. Clients are beginning their holiday season, which can be a blessing and a curse. • Dress Shirt — DS-010 (Charles Tyrwhitt): White cotton spread collar with bird's eye twill pattern and French cuffs. Non-iron finish with adjustable square-edge French cuffs perfect for cufflink presentation on video. Mother of pearl buttons and 5.5" spread collar complement the suit's formality. Formality score 5/5 — board meeting ready. • Slacks — SL-016 (Peter Millar): Gray wool trousers with regular cuffs, part of a matched suit pair with SJ-007. Canadian-made with classic belt anchors. The neutral gray provides the perfect foundation for a polished VC appearance. • Suit Jacket — SJ-007 (Peter Millar): Gray wool with subtle textured tiny lines, 2-button single-breasted with notched lapels and dual rear vents. Left slot chest pocket with paired flap hip pockets and interior wallet + ticket pockets. Tailored in Q4-2025 for optimal fit. Matches perfectly with SL-016 for a complete suit presentation. • Necktie — NT-023 (Fort Belvedere): Navy wool challis with white polka dots in 3-fold construction. Self-tipped at 57" length with 3.5" width and keeper loop. The classic pattern reads perfectly on camera while the wool challis texture adds visual depth without distraction. • Belt — B-001 (Hanks): Black leather Highlined belt with silver buckle, top/bottom edge stitching, and pill-shaped holes. Removable buckle in single collar style. The black leather and silver hardware coordinate seamlessly with the formal ensemble. • Footwear — DSh-009 (TLB Mallorca): Black box-calf leather whole cut Oxford on the Goya last (Model 307). Spanish-made with Goodyear welt construction, beveled waist, and brass heel tacks (3x3). Closed-channel leather sole with 5 eyelets per side. The elegant whole cut design delivers board-meeting formality — a true artisan piece from Mallorca. Formality score 5/5.

I just did my first one of these on rings. That means that I am two progressions away from a full front lever. I'm absolutely going to get that by October
