When your job regularly requires you to wear all black, you get creative. Stay in the box while standing out is tricky. String quartet gig tonight in South Florida for some corporate cocktail hour. Suit: Indochino 3-piece suit Shirt: Banana Republic Poplin Tie: I don't know, some faux silk black tie I've had for decades Shoes: Allen Edmonds Park Avenue Watch: Citizen Scent: Tom Ford Oud Minerale Underwear: Spider-man briefs (kidding!) What I love about the vest is that I can tie a full Windsor with a regular length tie (6'4", can't do it with standard lengths).

Seriously guys, I’d love to hear the rationalization why mature adults speak like my 15 year old, who’s idea of dressing up is a new Nike sweatshirt two sizes too big. 🤮 Is it so on trend to say Fit instead of “outfit” that it is now transcending generations? Clearly I missed that lecture in etiquette and style 101. Why dress like a gentleman but not speak like one? Please flame me here if you disagree with me. I can use the education. 🤣

Just bought a new camera and couldn't resist some moody, dark efforts. Not thrilled but I don't hate it.

Doing some Christmas shopping today in my new shiny jacket and a pair of Levi's in their best form - old and personalised and broken in.
