Today was clean up/take down day at the convention. Made some good contacts and have some new opportunities to explore. Got going so early and rushed, forgot to share this earlier. The shirt, Thoery The jeans, Daniel Cremieux The shoes, Allen Edmonds The scent, Creed Oud Zarian The watch, Shinola The hair, by me. Make it a good day.

So timeout night my wife and I are going to an evening of Jazz, it will be heavy on Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra. I have put the attached outfit together, I am tossing up as to weather I wear the tie or not. If I loose the tie I will also change the pocket square to a tidier TV or Presidential fold. GPT tells me Yes, this outfit works very well for that kind of evening—stylish, slightly vintage, and elegant without being too formal. Quick breakdown: - **Navy velvet blazer + light blue shirt**: Great combo. Velvet adds a jazz-club vibe and evening texture; blue shirt keeps it classic and Sinatra-esque. - **Black trousers**: Clean, sharp, and lets the blazer and accessories stand out. - **Burgundy loafers, belt, tie, pocket square**: The burgundy accents are cohesive and rich, very appropriate for night and pair nicely with navy. Good balance of color without looking loud. - **Hat**: Perfect nod to that old-school jazz / crooner aesthetic, as long as it fits your face shape and is worn with confidence. A couple of optional refinements: - You might consider **either the tie or the pocket square as the main statement**, and keep the other slightly more subdued (e.g., a textured burgundy square instead of shiny, or a darker tie) so it doesn’t feel too “matched set.” - Make sure the **shoe leather and belt tone are close** so they look intentional. - If the venue is more relaxed, you could skip the tie, unbutton the top button, and let the velvet blazer and hat carry the look. Overall: very appropriate, stylish, and thematically on point for a Louis Armstrong / Frank Sinatra jazz evening. What do you think?

Fun Fit Friday, that’s what I am calling today. I decided to go with a fun outfit for today, I wanted to wear the new Pork Pie from Brixton and built this outfit with that in mind. I was umming and raring about the tie but I think it works nicely. I have also attached my latest video attempt. The app I have is pretty easy to use. It is called Vids, you go in and find a template you like, that see what type of media is required and just snap or film what it shows. I need to do a little refinement to make sure I am getting the parts of the videos I want.
