Hi all. I am nearing the point where shorts are just not something I prefer to wear. I am blessed with good legs, I live in an area where shorts are both ideal for warm summer days and socially acceptable in way too many areas. I have four pairs of Chinos. They serve their part but are a bit bland when it’s that or jeans. Chinos are better than jeans on warm days, so that got me thinking about other casual pants for warm weather. So, I have two questions. First, if anyone has now or previously had casual linen pants, how well do they work for warm days. Second, does anyone have a brand they recommend? Many thanks!

We headed out to out Jazz Evening and also had dinner. Was a very nice night. Nicole wore a Dreess I got her for Christmas and I went with the outfit I showed last night but didn’t wear the hat at Nicoles request. We sat next to another couple at the concert and they mentioned that it was nice to see people dressed well to go out, then as we were leaving a pair of younger males said that “we made them feel underdressed”. Nicole took this as a snide remark, but I just replied with a ‘Thankyou kindly fellas” and just kept walking. I did get a snippet of one of the Louis Armstrong songs and one from Frank Sinatra. The music was amazing, the singing did get better as the evening progressed, mind you when you are competing with what people think about when those to Jazz legends are mentioned you are really up against it. On a plus, Nicole did ask if I know what else was played there, I showed her the app and she was all excited about being to go out and dress up. Hope you all have an amazing Saturday, I am about to go to bed 🥱

Special thanks to Matthew Clairmont for the inspiration for this post. What are your recommendations for caring for suede products such as shoes and jackets? I know water and suede don’t mix well. Fortunately, living in SATX. We don’t get much rain. I’d welcome your thoughts and best practices, Thanks in advance.

If you were fortunate enough to listen to Tim Hermes, co-founder of montereywatches.com, on the speaker moment in January, kyou had the opportunity to tap into a members only discount code for 24-hours. Monterey has just dropped a new release of one of his previously sold-out models- the Slipstream with new upgrades and more colors. AND a new code SCOTTRMRS for $120 off. I'm digging the Minty Monty myself. Have a great weekend.
