I have a funeral looming, and want to look my best. So I bought some new shoes. Samuel Windsor Cheltenham Brogue (Oxblood). My first brogues. My first oxbloods. My first Goodyear welts. My first Samuel Windsor. They are a nice fit, and they look great. Very happy.

This is exactly how you want to approach first-day-of-spring dressing in San Antonio—light, breathable, and quietly confident without trying too hard. My pale blue Peter Milar linen shirt reads cool against the rising heat, while the khaki trousers anchor the look with a classic, dependable structure. The Allen Edmund dark brown suede horsebit loafers introduce texture and depth, giving the outfit a refined, coastal sensibility that feels intentional rather than seasonal cliché. Paired with the gold-toned watch and the aquatic backbone of Acqua di Giò Profondo, the overall impression is relaxed authority—someone who understands both climate and composition.

It was so cold on Tuesday that I lost my flame here. It was so cold that I did not take off my coat even though I had layered a Henley, a grey flannel shirt and a wool waist coat under the cream sweater. I just do not have the cold tolerance I once add after my heart problem. Anyway, that is me carrying that Ulster Provincial Flag. The final picture I have opened that wonderful vintage Pendleton jacket to show that I was in the proper uniform for carrying the flag of flat cap, cream cable knit sweater, dark trousers and black shoes prescribed by the Shamrock Club of Columbus for their flag carriers.This is the second time I posted this. The first time it did not take.

Is there a right or wrong way to wear a cowboy hat with a t-shirt? I don’t feel like wearing a long sleeve tomorrow it’s hot. The theme is cowboy. I was thinking my suede cowboy boots, jeans, tshirt and a cowboy hat.
