What level of shine do you like your shoes? Do you polish everything to a mirror? Do you keep the polish on more casual shoes like boots and loafers down to cream polish and a brushing? Do you polish work boots or merely oil them? Pictures of examples are welcome.

Still blazing hot here in North Texas, so still sticking to the basics.

I can't remember where I originally heard this, but it seems to be something a lot of people have either forgotten or never heard... The people that matter aren't impressed by things, they are only impressed by people. A Rolex on a random wrist means nothing more than a receipt. The important factor isn't the watch, but the wrist. Any interesting watch on an impressive gentleman's wrist becomes a status symbol - because of the wrist that's wearing it. There's a reason the phrase, "an empty suit," even exists. It's because the suit doesn't make the man; the man - or woman, for that matter - makes the suit. Buying things that a significant number of people can purchase does not impart status. Striving to be the best version of yourself, however, demonstrates a status that cannot be purchased...

So on this Fun Fit Friday I am trying out one of the outfits I intend to take away to Japan at the end of September. The brown crew neck is one of the 3 new tops I purchased specifically for the trip, it is a long shiny knitted cotton top, one I can layer or just wear as an inbetween piece. Being brown it should go with pretty much everything I am taking away, which is mainly Green, Blue and Browns, I went for a little drive to find a nice place for photos, this “art work” is in the new area they are building in Googong as our little township grows, I tried a fun little photo in the first shot, but as you can see I stood a little to close to the edge of the frame. Still I was able to get my fun little photo and when I redo something similar I will make sure I set my Left and Right arcs better 🤭 Todays outfit (that will be going to Japan) consists of; Oxford Woolrich Mason Overcoat in Dark Olive Brixton Brood Snap Cap in Oatmeal and Charcoal houndstooth M.J.
