I have a long haul flight coming up (16+hrs) and I need some help with what to wear. I like to stay smart-casual or better on flights, but I also need to be able to sleep comfortably. Any brands or clothing that you would recommend to accomplish this task?

Mixing new (to me) and old today. New: Brooks Brothers button down shirt, Tom James trousers Old: Allen Edmonds Park Avenues and Jones New York suit jacket I bought in the late 90s. The weather here is gray today, so I'll be accompanied by my gray hat, also from the 90s.

Hey everyone, I need some advice on developing a more authoritative appearance now that I've joined the management of the building I live in. Currently, I'm just known as the tech guy with dogs who wears faded black Fruit of the Loom t-shirts and black jogging pants - not exactly commanding respect. Following earlier advice from this community, I've started building a countryside look with a Barbour shirt that I plan to pair with military Bundeswehr pants, a vest, and Lowa GTX Renegade Mid boots. I'll definitely share photos once everything arrives. Here's where I need your input: I'm trying to understand what truly creates an authoritative presence in daily situations. I've been considering three different style archetypes. First, there's the classic English countryside gentleman - trustworthy and refined. Second, there's the Gabriel character from Mission Impossible with his minimalist military aesthetic - few colors but strong contrasts, projecting a silent show of force. Third, there's Negan from The Walking Dead, whose authority comes from bold, slightly unhinged charisma. Each represents a different approach to authority: the nice guy everyone trusts, the silent strength, and the loud commanding presence. I'm looking for real-world advice on what actually works when you need to be taken seriously without appearing like someone who can't say no or gets pushed around. What style have you found most effective for establishing respect in a building management position?

Church this morning with the kids and two of the grandkids. Breakfast shortly after with The Knights of Columbus. What a blessed morning.
