After several weeks of sub freezing temperatures and ice, the weather is finally in the 50s. Off to get some lunch.

14 degrees out, so layers of wool.

My favorite haberdasher is retiring. Over the years I've spent way too much money there. I walked in today and walked out with two silk and cashmere rollnecks, a cashmere sweater vest, cashmere cardigan, a chocolate brown cashmere Harrington jacket, and a Lucca sports coat. All for $400.

Jacket I picked up at my herbidasher retirement sale. Lucca

Lately I've been buying vintage suits and jackets. I know the measurements that I wear, but sometimes I still need some alterations. It took a while, but I finally found a tailor who does excellent work. Not exactly cheap, but you get what you pay for. So now I get excellent Italian suits, and even with the cost of alterations, at a fraction of the price of buying new. And usually of better quality.
