Last night, my wife and I attended my cousin's wedding in downtown Sioux City at the historic and opulent Warrior Hotel. It was a great kid-free date! Now back to work today. Truckin' and Daddin'

We went out for Chinese on Rriday. We ate soup, pot stickers and Hunan Chicken. My outfit includes brown trousers, white cotton band collar shirt, tan double breasted waist coat, brown linen cab and walnut Chelsea boots. While we did not get a picture, Robin had a floral blouse and lavender slacks.

This ensemble strikes a fine balance between classic refinement and relaxed confidence, anchored by a rich navy sport coat, khaki trousers, and dark brown suede horsebit loafers that add texture and depth. The white-and-blue Bengal stripe shirt is the cornerstone of the outfit and remains a must-have in every gentleman’s wardrobe; its versatility allows it to pair effortlessly with tailoring, denim, and everything in between while always conveying understated elegance. The crisp white puff-fold pocket square introduces just enough contrast to brighten the jacket without appearing overly formal or contrived. Completing the look, the Tissot dress watch and dark brown suede loafers work in harmony, reinforcing a timeless aesthetic that favors quality and restraint over excess. The result is a polished business-casual ensemble that feels equally at home in the boardroom, at Sunday service, or enjoying a refined afternoon in the Texas Hill Country. P.S. I purchased my shirt from Paper Cloth. https://propercloth.com/design-a-shirt?shirtID=2976624
