Shortish day today, before I have to change and get ready to fly to Melbourne for NOVACONN 2026. My youngest didn’t want to get a coffee this morning as she has a new crush at school that likes playing with her, and Apprently he can also do a round-off and in teaching her to do one also. So I got a coffee and two Macarons to console myself. Todays work fit consists of; M.J.

With a board meeting today I returned to classic timeless menswear. I started with a pink twill French cuff shirt thinking about a valentines weekend forthcoming and built out from there. MTM blazer from 2024. I raided some 40 year old Harold’s Blazer buttons in its construction. 22 year old MTM Calvary twill trousers so I needed my 35 year old braces as my weight keeps fluctuating. Grabbed a 44 year old wool challis regimental tie and 44 year old shell cordovan shoes. Panterella socks and a reversible pocket square, and a Caravelle Bulova watch.

Out for a doctors appointment and then off to the wholesale club. I'm wearing jeans because I always seem to stain my chinos when I go there. Red and white striped Brooks Brothers button-down with sleeves rolled up Dark-wash Levi's and tan Anson belt with silver buckle Tan Allen Edmonds Road Warriors with gray socks with triangles Gray flat cap with windowpane pattern Orient Bambino Version 7 with maroon dial

It does seem we all like a laugh, this one is a little morbid and I may have laughed a little too hard.
