Sartorial education for my boys

Tonight I began (at least made it more official and when and why) discussing dressing well. My dad did, but he never talked about it (kind of a typical stoic man for his era) and I probably would have ignored it. I did t say that some day they would have to dress like this or anything fear generating. Instead, I said that if and when you ever to decide, you might remember these discussions. If I’m still around, I will gladly help. As my father passed say in his 50s, I don’t want to to make presumptions that delay my conversations with them.

The topic is based on one item in my outfit. As I am wearing a pink puppytooth Winchester shirt, we went with the shirt. How does it differ from a normal one, history, the “power suit” of the 80s (the whole house loves the 80s). That was it. I didn’t want it to drag on.

Or so I thought that was it. My older son asked about the pattern (tiny houndstooth) and so I shared that. My younger son asked about it being pink. He actually wears a pink hoodie for his travel baseball team (just swag wear), so was curious if other guys wear pink in their suits. Blew me away that, not only did they not object, but they asked questions.
