Another travel day, another day to rejoice how it should be done... and learn a few lessons. 14+ hours on a plane probably means suede shoes are a friendlier choice. I also believe that a tie with better drape with work throughout the long day vs. a cashmere tie. I still believe a casual tie may be the ideal approach, but will experiment with some alternatives, such as knitted silk or - my current favorite - shantung.
I'm afraid I do not have details of the wardrobe. It seems that United blocks access to my AI Bot - grrr! Alas, I have photos!
I'm looking forward to sleeping in my own bed and hugging the family.
