I was sitting in a meeting recently with a supplier partner to the business. Not overly dressed, suited for the situation, with a beautiful Tudor watch. For me the sort of watch is outside my price range but it brought that little touch of class into line with the rest of the outfit. I’ve been using a lower end smart watch for about a year now, in honesty… with just a rubber strap, I know I know! After catching a recent RMRS video following this meeting I decided, enough was enough! I’ve upgraded the watch with two new straps, tailoring to match metals or indeed leathers when needed. Still need the rubber for the gym to avoid friction, but changing the watch face is also key. Making the watch stay on constant, avoiding notifications. For me, it’s very much a watch that can support when I need it to, not to distract my attention. What do you guys think of the upgrade? Think it passes? Or is there just no way to replace a good old wrist accessory.

Hi I've got my parents wedding anniversary meal this weekend and i though I had my outfit sorted until I looked in the wardrobe and now I can't make up my mind 🤦🏻‍♂️ Could I possibly ask for suggestion of combination of these? Many thanks 😊

A query for the sartorial vanguard regarding warm-weather belt theory. In finalizing my wardrobe for a trip to Cancún, I have run up against the limits of traditional leather. My standard-issue leather Anson straps, while impeccable in a business-casual setting, feel decidedly heavy-handed when introduced to resort wear. The stark contrast between smooth, structured leather and the slubby, breathable weave of linen creates a visual 'hard stop' that disrupts the relaxed silhouette of tropical tailoring. Accordingly, I welcome the insights of my fellow RMRS gentlemen. My palette for the trip consists of navy, khaki, and vibrant coral shorts, complemented by tailored linen trousers in green, blue, and wheat. My current hypothesis is to introduce texture over sheen, utilizing 1.5-inch micro-suede straps in navy and sand/beige. I would appreciate your counsel on whether these napped alternatives achieve the ideal synthesis of structure and ease."

Had several things going on last week and the beginning of this week, not letting pressure become an excuse. But there is always someone that will make or brighten a day , week, or moment. I received a package from a great gentleman and friend yesterday that had this beautiful hat inside among other items. And this was not because he had to but rather because he wanted to and he always said and showed that he respected me. And this is what true friendship and a true gentleman is. People can say it’s to hot to wear a hat like this, I do not care, I am grateful for this wonderful gift.

Every piece of this ensemble was thrifted i love the trenchcoat which i want to modify to habe a belt and something to to the collar together on both ends i love thrifting i feel like a true detective
