Todays outfit is Elevated Smart Casual as I have a job interview tomorrow and will be in a Suit and tie. Fridays is my regular #funfitfriday, not this week though. This idea behind this outfit is to give the impression of someone who understands tonal dressing. Most people just match the colours. This outfit shoes how to coordinate multiple shades of the same color family without looking washed out, to repetitive, or overly calculated. Todays outfit consists of; Stanton fine linen and cotton blend flat cap in Pale Blue MJ Bale Santoro Jacket in a cotton, linen, wool, silk lightweight natural blue gingham check fabric MJ Bale Sinatra Trousers in Empire Denim Charles Tyrwhitt light blue OCBD Sky blue pocket Sqaure with white Butterflies and Fauna OTAA Jack O’ Cups Shattuckite Skull Bracelet OTAA Maldives Crab low cut socks CNES MTO Oxford with Goodyear welted construction WOTD - Islander Greenport watch with Stone Grey Dial with Sky Blue Accents SOTD - Mancera French Riviera

Wore my Airforce blue today celebrating my father. I was born on Perrin Airforce base between Sherman and Dennison Texas. Pop attributes the Airforce with most of his success. His role was called traffic management which was essentially coordinating personnel and material all over the globe. The organization skills he picked up he stored away as he bounced around various jobs in his small rural home town after his discharge and return to my grandfathers farming and ranching operations. While driving an unconditioned propane truck a friend and WW2 veteran (had three troop transport boats sunk he piloted I. South Pacific) offered him a job at the tiny local bank. Pop with only a high school education stayed In that field became president of several banks and then CEO of a holding company taking the last place he worked from $80,000,000 to now over $4 billion. He attributes his leadership and organization skills from the Airforce for this success. I attribute his phenomenal character. Right is right and wrong is wrong was his motto. The guy people see in the public is the exact same guy at home. Guile isn’t in his make up. So today’s OOTD is a tribute to Ted McGuire • 1995 MTM true blue herringbone suit •. White on white shirt •. Tattersall cotton pocket square • Jos A Banks blue striped bow tie • blue Pantherella socks • black J Fitzpatrick captoes • Seiko Model 5 Watch Of course in typical pop fashion, when I sent him a copy of me in the blue suit because I was so proud of him he turned it around on how very proud he is of me. I am a very blessed man. And undeservedly so.

Does eating at McDonalds wearing a Scottish tartan tie count? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Had to do a quick change to meet a client at McDonald’s. Grabbed my old chambray shirt and a tartan tie I picked up in Scotland a few of months back. Went for the old stand by Navy HSM blazer and Orvis Moleskin deep tan trousers, Pantherella socks, Orvis field watch and Martin Dingman loafers.

Today is Remembrance Day, its the same as Memorial Day in the US. We reflect on those that have served our country , passed, returned and still away. Whilst I am prying of my service I don’t often go to these services. I am not sure why, it is just something I don’t do. However today I have on the same suit as yesterday, because it is new, but with a different shirt and accessories. I also grabbed a couple of extra shots wearing a flat cap to see how it looks with this outfit, one in a Herringbone Grey News boy style the other in a Green Flat cap style.

Today I had a haircut booked, this worked out perfectly as I have an in person interview on Friday for a role as a Bid and Contract Manager. This role lead sand supports the Bids and Contracts Section in proposal, tender and contact negotiation activities that support business and program objectives. This position also provides commercial leadership, combined with an understanding of the company project management and engineering practices. It is a role I would very much love as it is a lot of stakeholder engagement and helping company members understand process and practices. I decided on this spot for photos as it was not far from the Barbers and I used to do Triathlon training here. It is 2.5km of old road that is shut off now and you see many runners and cyclists here doing what is called “Brick” training during the weekends and after work hours. This is so called due to the feeling of your legs when you jump off your bike ride feeling like “bricks”, and then starting your run.
