Hi all, my son and I've started this new business in the men's personal fragrance space. He creates his own, while I rebottle well-known brands into more affordable, sample and travel size bottles! Check us out at https://joeasdecants.com/

In the two years I’ve been in this community I had only purchased one coat and two pair of trousers (plus some CT shirts and one tie). Most of what I’ve posted is quite old clothing. But as I am settling into a more desirable weight I broke down and followed my budgeted purchases which takes advantage of the seasonal sales. Since I need some tailored clothing that will actually fit I added some items to the closet. On a trip to Oklahoma City about a month ago I caught my friend Steve Giles of Stephen Giles Clothings clearance sale up to 60% off and got two pair of trousers and a very light weight fall jacket. My mother happened to be in OkC yesterday and picked them up for me and dropped them off about 10 O’clock last night and I thought that might work so as not to wake my wife as I slugged off to my early morning men’s group. Maybe a little late in the season for the coat but I had to try it out. https://stevengilesclothing.com •Sid Mashburn vicuña colored herringbone • Samuelsohn tan trouser • CT white French cuff shirt • silk pocket square • O ring belt • Pendleton socks in clay • Cole Haan Waxhides (1982) • antique shamrock cuff links • Ernest Borel automatic watch (1940’s)
