On a cool rainy gray day that began with a 6:30 AM meeting and will run with meetings until 8:00 PM I went with a grey suit: OOTD • 10/9/1995 MTM grey suit with ghosted window-pane • orange yellow and navy pocket square • rusty orange tie • CT basket weave blue Oxford shirt • Byford OTC grey merino wool socks - 1997 AE shell cordovan British tan brogues - Seiko Model 5

So to say my days are boring is an understatement. To clarify, I have a lot of windshield time, which if you know, you know. I’m off to bring donuts to a customer, then drive 90 minutes to see another, 60 more to see another, 30 more for the last one then 2ish hours to my next hotel for the night. The goal, business appropriate, but comfortable. The shirt, Perry Ellis ribbed t-shirt The pants, DKNY The boots, Florsheim Chelsea The scent, Xerjoff Erba Gold The watch, AVI-8 The hair, by me Make it a good day.

Don't tell anyone, they'll all want it. Have a wonderful Wednesday

CW = Critiques welcome! Another crazy day! Lots of planning for the big expansion, so it's fun stuff! Client, vendor, internal, and recruitment meetings today. The tie is a great one I often forget I own. Seeing it camera (still and video) makes me realize how the shading forms into a nearly stripped tie pattern. Outfit SUIT — Ralph Lauren Light Brown (SJ‑010 & SL‑019) This light‑brown RL suit brings a refined, confident presence with warm tones that project stability and approachability. The wool drapes cleanly and keeps you sharp through VCs, hallway conversations, or internal leadership moments. SHIRT — Charles Tyrwhitt White Twill, Point Collar, French Cuff (DS‑040): The white twill shirt adds a crisp, authoritative foundation that balances the warm suit. The point collar gives a streamlined vertical line that works perfectly with today’s tie and the Half‑Windsor knot. UNDERSHIRT — True Classic White (US‑001): This white undershirt disappears under the twill and keeps you cool and comfortable throughout the day. Ideal for a 69°F high while maintaining a clean silhouette. TIE — Kenneth Cole Green & Tan Micro‑Square (NT‑003): The green introduces a cool contrast to the warm suit, while the tan pattern ties everything together. Finished with a Half‑Windsor for a balanced, structured look that pairs well with the point collar. POCKET SQUARE — Light Tan Silk/Wool (PS‑002): A subtle light‑tan square adds sophistication without competing with the tie. The Presidential TV fold keeps everything clean, professional, and business‑formal. CUFFLINKS — Gold Rectangle / Woven Gold (CL‑011): Warm gold tones elevate the light‑brown suit and pair effortlessly with the gold accents on today’s watch. The rectangular shape reinforces clean lines and a composed executive look. Tie Bar — TA‑003 (Gold Plain Bar): A minimalist gold tie bar with clean horizontal lines that adds a precise touch of structure without drawing attention away from the tie’s green‑and‑tan pattern. Its polished gold finish perfectly echoes the gold tones of today’s cufflinks and watch markers, reinforcing a unified metallic story while maintaining true business‑formal restraint.
