An older friend passed away recently and his visitation was tonight. ID was a full time farmer and part time business man. His obituary described him perfectly; he was a gentleman’s gentleman. Therefore I decided to wear my suit, although I expected to be one of very few (if any) dressed to that level. It is a rural area, so mostly only the older folks dress up. Glen Plaid suit by Paul Betenly-charcoal colored Light blue dress shirt-David Donahue Tie-Blue Foulard silk from The Dark Knot (Thanks, @Antonio O. Centeno !) Shoes- Allen Edmond burgundy wingtip brogues (Thanks, eBay) Belt-Anson burgundy Socks- dark blue Calvin Klein Pocket Square- dark blue, no pattern I’d like the coat to be cut an inch longer, and my pants need to be re-pressed…they drape oddly at the bottom. Otherwise, I think I’m good to go! Accompanied, of course by my wife of 44 years, Cindy.

Tonight's theme is blue - a bit of a monochromatic outfit built around my made-to-measure, three-piece, midnight navy, glen plaid, Rivelino wool suit from Coats Clothing Company. We're seeing Sean of the South perform in our little, downtown theater after dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. I might add an outfit rundown later, if I have time...
