After a week or so of work Travel, I'm back in the office on this Friday catching up. OOTD: Salmon colored V-neck Mid Grey trousers Light Blue Patterned dress shirt Grey with red rib OTC dress socks Brown split toe Derby's AnOrdain watch Hope you all have an amazing Friday and first day of spring!!

If you were fortunate enough to listen to Tim Hermes, co-founder of montereywatches.com, on the speaker moment in January, kyou had the opportunity to tap into a members only discount code for 24-hours. Monterey has just dropped a new release of one of his previously sold-out models- the Slipstream with new upgrades and more colors. AND a new code SCOTTRMRS for $120 off. I'm digging the Minty Monty myself. Have a great weekend.

CW = Critiques Welcome! Fun week with nearly all of the goals done. Quiet office today, however, as I am the only in it. Outfit • Shirt — DS‑011 (Paul Fredrick): A cobalt blue double pencil‑stripe stretch dress shirt in cotton‑spandex, finished in a smooth non‑iron weave. The crisp vertical striping provides structure and visual lift under a navy jacket while remaining comfortable for a full leadership workday. • Undershirt — US‑003 (Pro Club): A heavyweight white cotton crew‑neck undershirt that offers excellent opacity control under the striped dress shirt. Durable and dependable, it keeps the shirt cleanly presented throughout the day. • Slacks — SL‑009 (Santorelli): Tan wool slacks with a faint medium‑brown check, tailored for clean drape and natural movement. The warm neutral base balances the cooler blues above, grounding the outfit in business‑appropriate contrast. • Odd Jacket — DOJ‑007 (Ralph Lauren): A navy wool blazer with a slight sheen and classic brass buttons, cut in a structured silhouette. This jacket delivers executive authority while remaining versatile enough for internal leadership and client‑adjacent settings. • Tie — NT‑030 (Kirby Allison): A silk tie in rust and navy with medium‑scale paisley‑inspired motifs. The warm rust tones echo the slacks and belt, while the navy anchors the tie to the jacket for cohesive color storytelling. • Belt — B‑010 (Magnanni): Caramel‑brown leather belt with subtle tonal variation and a silver buckle. Its warmth aligns perfectly with the slacks and shoes, maintaining leather harmony across the outfit. • Footwear — DSh‑007 (Allen Edmonds): Chocolate‑brown cap‑toe Oxfords in Goodyear‑welted leather. A classic executive shoe choice—serious, refined, and perfectly suited to business‑formal or high‑polish business‑classic environments. • Socks — DSo‑063 (Fort Belvedere): Over‑the‑calf cotton socks in mid‑brown with a blue shadow stripe. The stripe subtly ties back to the shirt and jacket while remaining discreet and professional.

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.
