Just read an article about a new restaurant in Oakland that's stirring up controversy ... for having a dress code. According to the article, it sounds like the bar is still pretty low on the dress code, and it's only enforced at night. Still, the owners have gotten a lot of pushback on it. "When you go out and you dress with intention, your behavior is different," the owner said.

A quiet day today, but also have my eldest (11) daughter home as she is feeling a title ill. I have gone with a 3 piece today as it has been a while since I last wore one and I have lost a little weight. It does fit better and is not a tight plus I can sit down in it and not feel it pulling again. Todays outfit consists of; M.J. Bale Martello 3 Piece Suit in Sand with Navy Pinstripe Charles Tyrwhitt Twill Prince of Wales Check Shirt in Light Blue Cambridge Floral tie in Cappuccino Ecco Citytray Slip-On in Cognac Whiskey Glass socks Magic Eye Cufflinks (a gift from a member, that has since left the platform, Doc for those who remember) SOTD - Dior Fahrenheit Parfum WOTD - Cadisen AP Homage

After yesterday's experiment with my $4 Thrift jacket, I took some of your wonderful advice and added dark blue slacks before my trip to the City for some work on a hot day.

My newest thrifting win is a whooper, a pair of Beckett Simonon Dowler tan Boots in excellent condition. I am taking them for a spin today after I cleaned and conditioned them last night with Saphir Renovateur (they were bone dry) and gave them a shine using Saphir clear cream polish, and clear wax.
