It’s a beautiful Friday

It’s summer time and I like wearing slippers and African print trousers

Bob is in a lavendar Proper Cloth shirt and gray trousers, both with specles like oxford cloth. Fay is in a London Times confetti pink dress and silver sandals. Standing is Scottsdale, AZ.

It's a simple day at the office but we end of the day with friends and family taking me out to dinner for my birthday. 9/11 is an auspicious day to have a birthday. Nevertheless, even on the actual day it occurred, I made an intentional decision to never let the events of that day restrict celebrating my birthday. Indeed - that would have been a goal of the terrorists: changing the way we rejoice life and the freedom we have as Americans. I've put a bit more detail in than normal for a bit of birthday indulgence on my side! Today was also a review of the Michael Andrews Bespoke suit with the cutter where we went overall all of the changes to make. Doing it via video call is not the best process. I highly recommend that if you go through a commissioned suit, and the opportunity is available, go in for the fittings. That said, this was not my cutter's first rodeo with a VC fitting appraisal. The jacket needs a bit of breadth around the anchor button, the vest needs to expand overall and have more depth added to the left chest pocket (allowing for a pen to be inserted and held in place), but the slacks were magical from day 1. The two dress shirts I had made need to be completely remade as they are substantially smaller than me. I was pleased to see that I am the exact same weight - to the pound - from when I was originally measured by my cutter. They now send me shipping materials and cover the shipping there and back to manage the process. Pleased with MAB, we spoke about the next set of commissioned items, including a double-breasted navy blazer. Whereas I cannot wait to get the going, I always finish a first project with a vendor before engaging on the next one. The end of a project is usually where the largest number of issues, and more difficult issues, can arise. Here's what I wore around, and including, the suit. Dinner should be fun and I am a fan of Chart House: good steak at a great ocean-front location. RMRS Post Draft — Friday Low-Wear Birthday Ensemble
