Finally back from the summer vacation travels. I loved the time with my family, but with work getting very busy and our goal to grow substantially this year, it's time to focus on the business. I did not have much time to curate or barely critique the AI-based outfit today, so it's a bit more autumnal the preferred for summer. It's also a mélange of colors! As always, please comments on how they work in your mind, giving me your true thoughts and not worried about the overly positive presentation we sometimes feel compelled in order to support our brothers herein. I do have several items worn for their first time today, which I love! Olive, Gray, Mustard, and Navy Business Ensemble • Blazer — DOJ-009 (Missoni): A matte olive three-button blazer in wool, cut in a business-formal 42R silhouette with a subtle herringbone pattern. Its restrained color gives the ensemble character while remaining authoritative for the midyear reviews. • Trousers — SL-020 (Joseph Abboud): Mid-gray wool odd trousers with a very-light-gray mini check. Their neutral pattern contrasts cleanly with the olive blazer and supports the use of suspenders. • Shirt — DS-044 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A slim-cut white non-iron cotton-poplin shirt with French cuffs and a five-inch semi-spread collar. The crisp white foundation sharpens the earthy jacket and mustard tie. • Undershirt — US-014 (True Classic): A gray cotton-polyester undershirt with a comfortable, close fit. Gray is less likely than bright white to show beneath the medium-opacity shirt. • Tie — NT-051 (Paul Fredrick): A silk foulard tie in golden mustard, green, blue, and orange-rust. Its small geometric pattern links the olive jacket, gold accents, and navy accessories; use a Half-Windsor to fill the semi-spread collar. This is the first time for this eBay find. • Suspenders — SB-003 (JJ Suspenders): Navy cotton suspenders with brown leather details and gold hardware. Their button attachment supports the trousers properly, while the navy and gold continue the accessory palette.

Picked up some new Chelsea boots while I’m in El Paso. These are more of a dress boot, but I think will go nicely with my everyday work style.
