My new prescription sunglasses arrived yesterday. Still waiting on the new glasses.

Not very often I get two rainy days back to back, but when I pourd my coffee this morning I watched the rain come down hard. I also got a phone call from my dad saying he got stuck hauling water up to the hiefers... so my outfit to go recuse my dad is as follows. Stetson 4x hat, wrangler pearl snap shirt, Wyoming traders tan vest, Outback oilskin duster, Wrangler rigs jeans, and Boggs muck boots. I was able to pull my dad out with ease, and made it back to finish my coffee.

Decided to work from today, (I tend to get more done at home at times), Plus I have some Society of Ordinary Gentleman business to get done as well as recording and editing to do for The Gentleman's Forum and The Gentlemen of Faith Podcast. I believe it's going to be a long day and night today. There are some great shows coming out soon, ones that I hope will encouragement to be the best version of gentlemen that they can be.

Seeing the family off for their final trip of the summer. When they return next week, Logan heads to his dorms and Nathanial begins 8th grade. Montblanc agreed to exchange my 149 and I took care of that today. The senior associate in the store wrote with my old 149 and was appalled at the way the nib performed, immediately seeing the problems. On the work front, I'm looking forward to having a weekend of catch up on our current crazy project, beginning with a meeting this afternoon to plan out next week. I find the Friday planning meetings let me begin Monday with a bang right away: everyone knows their immediate assignment when they arrive on Monday and can get moving. I have not worn a pin collar in a while and find that my ability to fasten them up has dramatically sped up! The entire pin took less than 60 seconds. It might be a bit of a contrast to the more relaxed vest without a jacket look, but I rather like it. Friday Rotation: Ivory, Italian Blue, Yellow Paisley, and Brown Leather Friday-rule results: The outfit prioritizes lightly worn pieces: CL-029 has 1 recorded wear; NT-062, PS-019, TA-007, and FR-025 have 2 each; DS-038 and VWC-016 have 4 each. None is literally within the current 35 least-worn items because that group is presently occupied by zero-wear inventory, but the outfit substantially advances rotation while preserving harmony. • Vest — VWC-016 (Hockerty): An ivory, custom-MTO LIDO vest in linen, fully lined in white silk and finished with four cream mother-of-pearl buttons. The notched lapels and clean single-breasted design give the summer outfit structure without the weight of a jacket. • Trousers — SL-005 (Santorelli): Italian-blue textured odd trousers in wool, providing a saturated foundation beneath the ivory vest. • Shirt — DS-038 (Savile Row Company): A custom-size 16 white cotton-twill shirt with rounded French cuffs and a distinctive 3.25-inch pinhole collar. The formal white ground keeps the yellow paisley tie crisp and gives the collar pin a clean architectural frame.
