Jcrew plaid button down Blue 1/4 zip Banana Republic Sweater Light Khaki Flint and Tinder 365 pants Glycine is still on the wrist as part of a one month challenge. Same Helm boots are on my feet today for the more substantial rubber lug in the rain.

Mixing new (to me) and old today. New: Brooks Brothers button down shirt, Tom James trousers Old: Allen Edmonds Park Avenues and Jones New York suit jacket I bought in the late 90s. The weather here is gray today, so I'll be accompanied by my gray hat, also from the 90s.

Date night tonight guys....even though we've been together a long time it's still nice to make an effort.

This Navy Corduroy blazer was another weekend thrift shop find. It fits like it was tailored to me. Tried showing it in the photos better but mostly just look awkward 😂 (sharing OOTD is a push outside my comfort zone) Hope you all have a great day!

Hitting Level 8 in this community isn’t just about the number—it’s about consistency, showing up, and putting in the work. For me, style has always carried deeper meaning. My father’s 1954 class ring, the vintage watches from my wife, my championship rings, and my shoes that carry a story—these aren’t just accessories, they’re reminders of legacy, discipline, and respect. What I’ve valued most here are the solid interactions and straight-shooting discussions. Whether it’s sharing patina work on Allen Edmonds with Jeffrey, weighing in on controversial trends, or learning from others’ perspectives, this community has been about more than clothes—it’s about sharpening the man wearing them. Proof that consistency and contribution always pays off in every aspect of life. My advice: stay engaged, keep asking, keep sharing, and keep pushing forward. Because the real win isn’t the level—it’s the man you become on the climb. Passion Purpose Presence
