A couple weeks ago, after I got my suit ordered from The Huntsman, my wife and I had tea at the Ritz-Carlton. It’s an old suit I got at Macy’s years ago (time to retire it), shirt from Jermyn Street. Also, I posed with a statue of Mr. Brummell on Jermyn St.

This last week has been extremely hot in St. Louis. This was my Friday OOTD. I know there is something to what you should or shouldn’t wear for the seasons. As we approach Fall, our upcoming week looks like a normal early Fall week here so that will give me a chance to wear some other things rather than my idea of warm weather clothing. Do you guys have any guidelines you stick too as far as what you might or might not wear for the different seasons? What do you guys migrate to when the weather starts to turn cooler and then cold? Thanks for any feedback.

It pretty much rained all day today for our first day. We only had the chopstick 🥢 Making class booked for toda, so that was a good thing. We were going to visit a temple but the rain out a stop to that. Instead we hit one of the stops we were going to do tomorrow and grabbed some of the crazy snacks that Japan has. Tomorrow I am going to the Seiko Museum, that should be great, and hopefully get Clark Repaired while in the vicinity. The Uniqlo photo I had to take as the store has 12 floors, all uniqlo. So crazy. We also hit a Starbucks for out coffee hit, atleadtnwe know the quality of that and it's not a surprise 😉 Anyway, post more tomorrow. To days outfit consisted of M.J.
