Week 4 of 15 as a Tutor directing theology, ancient literature, world history, and Dave Ramsey for four 17-18 year old men. Temps fell from a high yesterday of 77 and sunny to a blistering wet 20 windchill today. Went back to the tweeds: - Gun check flat cap - RL barley corn tweed - Irish herringbone vest - CT blue basket weave Oxford - Yellow wool Challis Pheasant tie - Wide wale chocolate trousers - Alden Indy boots - Orvis field watch

This lasts for about two months until my birthday in Feb. Today, we are heading to her favourite cafe for a family brunch. The dress she is wearing was part Of the present, its linen, she received. It is going to be quite hot today, 39C (102F), which is predicted. So after brunch, it will be home and into the AC, which is 25C(77F) as I type this. Nicole wears a Ferever New Alison Zip Utility Linen Midi Dress in Porcelain Me, I am in my MJ Bale Alcantara Linen Pants, Charles Tyrwhitt Gold Performance Semi Plain Polo Ecco City Tray in Tan Scent is Versace Eros Energy (because my wife loves it, it is more than I do) And the wonderful Erebus Origin GMT I will add more photos as they come.

Solids with texture Where yesterday’s challenge was patterns today’s is solids with textures. On Blazer challenge day six with the 6th of 70 ties I chose my newest royal blue blazer that I had made. It has an exact same colored stripe so I would classify it as a solid. Likewise the sea Island cotton shirt has what’s called a cornrow weave but it still is a solid. The yellow tie has a unique texture as well (would love some help on this weave of anyone knows the name). The pants are a black linen with the nubby texture offered by the linen. I opted out of a pocket square (might add later) simply to illustrate a completely different look than yesterday

TGIF! Grey Tommy Hilfiger sports jacket with white presidential fold pocket square and my Master SWAT Operator lapel pin. White Twillory shirt. Dark Wash Vertx Defiance blue jeans. Brown Anson belt with silver buckle and brown boots. Same Nautica watch with blue dial I've worn all week. Today Fragrance is Tom Ford Nior Extreme! Tonight a birthday dinner after work with my family and friends that a special neighbor and friend is funding for me. It was supposed to be a surprise party but with my schedule who knows if I would be committed somewhere else. BTW SWAT activation last night for Warrant Service on a murder suspect that was successful. Although one of my operators might have injured himself dealing with the brother of the suspect who was actinga full. Hence the SWAT pin as I might have a few meetings needed on the possible injury.

Okay… I have two suits. One is custom from INDOCHINO, and the other is from a department store which I will reveal later. In your honest opinion, which one looks better?
