Harried week and lots to try and do. I need a cloning machine... Outfit: • Shirt — DS‑043 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A sky‑blue spread‑collar French‑cuff dress shirt in non‑iron herringbone cotton, offering subtle texture with crisp structure. The herringbone weave adds depth while remaining conservative, making it an ideal foundation for a business‑formal suit. • Undershirt — US‑012 (True Classic): A navy crew‑neck undershirt in a light cotton‑poly blend, cut close to the body for a smooth silhouette. The darker tone prevents show‑through under the blue shirt while maintaining all‑day comfort. • Suit — SJ‑011, SL‑020 (Joseph Abboud): A mid‑gray two‑button wool suit with a fine mini‑check and slight sheen, projecting authority without visual heaviness. The structured shoulders and classic drape create a sharp, executive presence well suited for internal leadership meetings. • Tie — NT‑008 (Berma Bilas): A medium‑blue silk tie with charcoal, white, and silver repeating geometric motifs. The restrained pattern complements the herringbone shirt without competing, reinforcing a polished, analytical aesthetic. Tie recommendation: Half‑Windsor for balance with the spread collar. • Pocket Square — PS‑011 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A solid sky‑blue cotton pocket square that quietly echoes the shirt while staying subordinate to the tie. Folded in a clean TV fold, it reinforces business‑formal discipline. • Belt — B‑003 (Nordstrom Mercer): A black leather belt with a simple silver buckle, understated and properly formal. The clean hardware aligns seamlessly with the watch case and cufflink metals. • Socks — DSo‑075 (Fort Belvedere): Over‑the‑calf gray cotton socks with a blue shadow stripe, providing subtle continuity with the tie and shirt. Excellent stay‑up performance ensures a clean line when seated. • Cufflinks — CL‑009 (Fort Belvedere): Platinum‑tone eagle‑claw cufflinks with onyx spheres, offering controlled symbolism and depth. They add gravitas without flash, appropriate for senior leadership contexts.

Starting the week off a bit differently than planned! I was busy doing recurrent training this weekend, and was supposed to travel home last night. But the weather here was a bit less than hospitable 😢So I decided to stay. “Better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground!!” But that in turn means 2 extra nights, as the weather at home is also miserable through tonight, but hopefully will clear out tonight so I can catch up to my week, which means no chance to get home, but head directly to a trade show my team is setting up tomorrow. Oh well! This is what makes life interesting!! I LOVE Monday’s so I’m getting it done while working remote. Still dressing as if I were in the office!! OOTD: Blue/Green/Tan Tattersal Navy Kahki’s Green Ribbed OTC Dress Socks Brown, Derby’s “Speedy” Trying out the Creed - Centaurus today. Wishing you all a wonderful Monday!!

I don't wear this jacket as much because it's so light, but it always looks fantastic. I like the way it contrasts with darker colors. As a recap: It's a Canali 3 button cashmere.. I think because of the length it is an orphaned suit jacket. Got it on Ebay back in '22 for about 60 dollars and did not need any alterations.
