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. Bale Sinatra Chore Suit in Empire Green crafted from 100% Egyptian cotton in a tanker twill fabric Aere Lightweight Organic Cotton Crew Neck Knit in Chocolate Anson Signature Strap in Chocolate with a Traditional unmetal buckle with a curve OTAA Spiculus Tiger’s Eye Gladiator Helm Bracelet OTAA Mr Fox Mint Green Socks Sparrods & Co Oslo Double Monk in Espresso SOTD - Versace EROS Flame WOTD - Praesidus Victory Sands in Cream and Won from TWB

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...

Feeling more human today, thankfully! Today is an internal-meeting only day do a more relaxed outfit. I am happy to see that both the new leader and my office admin are onboard with the plan to provide our admin with dedicated oversight from an accounting expert and someone who has the time and experience to train new employees on work culture in a professional organization (vs. an academic work environment). Pink Winchester, tan seersucker, brown wool and textured suede • Jacket — DOJ-012 (Haspel): A lightweight tan-and-cream cotton seersucker blazer with mid-gray details, white buttons and notch lapels. Its warm summer texture remains polished enough for video conferences without appearing overly formal. • Trousers — SL-010 (di Milano): Tailored brown wool odd trousers with dark-brown micro-texture and a matte finish. They strengthen the outfit’s earth-tone foundation and provide a smoother, more formal counterpoint to the seersucker jacket. • Shirt — DS-035 (Savile Row Company): A pink-and-white cotton Winchester shirt with textured puppytooth, a point collar and French cuffs. The white collar and cuffs sharpen the pink body while the structured cotton remains comfortable for a long day. • Undershirt — US-015 (Pro Club): A heavy pink cotton crew-neck undershirt in size XL. Its matching color minimizes show-through beneath the pink shirt. • Tie — NT-041 (Fort Belvedere): A matte navy grenadine tie in three-fold, untipped construction. Its open texture complements the seersucker and puppytooth while deep navy gives the pink shirt visual authority; wear it in a Half-Windsor. • Pocket Square — PS-0?? (Charles Tyrwhitt): A paisley silk square measuring 9.5 inches. Brown based with blues and tan to harmonize colors throughout the outfit today. • Belt — B-015 (W. Kleinberg): A chocolate-brown calf-suede belt with dark-brown edge stitching and a steel buckle. Its suede texture directly connects with the Chelsea boots and is more cohesive here than the previously listed caramel belt.
