We went out for fish and chips this evening. I chose to wear linen today with light tan linen trousers and a white ban collar linen shirt. I did nor wear a linen flat cap though instead choosing to wear a navy pinstripe tropical wool hat.

Wall to wall zoom meetings with clients today. Then off to school for parent-teacher meetings with my son’s Year 10 teachers, which feels a bit like speed dating, I imagine. Fortunately, all positive feedback on my shy, neurodivergent, but gifted little fella! Went for a bit of power dressing, with a- Bespoke navy broad striped wool double breasted suit Bespoke Glen check blue cotton shirt Gieves & Hawkes silk gold reppe striped tie Gieves & Hawkes linen pocket square Alfred Dunhill gold cufflinks Nobile Italy navy silk chiffon socks Baldinini black Derby boots WOTD DateJust 41 SOTD layering Bortnikoff’s Moss Cologne and Boadicea thee Victorious’ Vetiver Imperiale Layering Boadicea the Victorious (BtV) Vetiver Imperiale with Bortnikoff’s Moss Cologne creates the ultimate, hyper-luxurious modern custom Chypre, manually engineering a massive, multi-dimensional green masterpiece. The Olfactory Chemistry - The Bright Harmony: Both fragrances open with spectacular, high-fidelity citruses. Vetiver Imperiale brings crisp mandarin, bergamot, and neroli. Moss Cologne injects a deeply juicy blend of sweet orange, lemon, and a brilliant, sunny champaca flower note. They fuse to create a piercingly bright, refreshing shield against the summer heat. - The Heart Contrast: Vetiver Imperiale introduces a thrilling, dry pop of black, white, and pink pepper. This sharp spice cuts beautifully through the lush, dense, and slightly powdery floral-green heart of Moss Cologne (violet leaf, ylang-ylang, and jasmine). - The Legendary Foundation: This is where the magic happens. By stacking Vetiver Imperiale's smoky, clean vetiver and cedarwood base onto Moss Cologne's heavy, authentic oakmoss absolute, resinoid, and salty natural ambergris, you form a monumental Chypre base. The vetiver acts as an anchor for the moss, providing incredible persistence in cold office AC.

I wanted to mix it up rather than posting an outfit per day, here is a look back on my week. Monday - meeting with a District Attorney on a case, so I wore a gray suit, white shirt, blue/white/red stripe tie, brown AE boots. Tuesday - busy day. Meeting again with a District Attorney so I chose a heather blue suit, white shirt, solid navy tie. I did not get a full suit photo but I took a quick picture in the break room after packaging evidence from an investigation. Wednesday - I had to testify in front of a grand jury so I chose a navy suit, light blue shirt, blue/green/ white tie. After testify I had to go work a crime scene and it was about 85 degrees Fahrenheit which reflect in the photo. Today I wanted to end the week in a chill manner ahead of tomorrow’s holiday. I work a navy short sleeve button up, gray slacks and brown Thursday boots.

After a couple of bold combos with blacks and various greens I went back to basic menswear blue and grey. Started with a Pendleton cotton patterned shirt and grabbed my new gaberdine light grey trousers ((my busy Stephen Giles from whom I purchased them calls them Cary Grant grey😏). Grabbed my MTM Royal blue blazer I had made for my son’s wedding in 24 and running Bison Pendleton socks with Clark’s cloth black Oxford shoes and. Weneger field watch and a reversible p square:grey seersucker/ blue tattersall.
