CW = Critiques Welcome! Four meetings today, all internal. My main focus for today is to help my teams move our projects forward as I will be meeting with our largest client for dinner soon. It's always wise to knock their socks off before showing up. On the sartorial stage, I did get to some shoe care this weekend. It's still a learning curve, but I went all the way to a poorly executed mirror shine on the toe cap of my wholecuts. My oft worn brown AE oxfords also needed some TLC so I nourished, polished, and waxed these guys. Sadly, two pairs in one weekend is a record! Finally, after getting another navy blazer that fit well out of the box (sleeves on the shirt are too long, but the jacket sleeves are great), I wanted a traditional Americana outfit. Theme: 🇺🇸 Classic American Style • Odd Jacket — DOJ-010 (Ralph Lauren): A navy wool blazer with gold brass buttons—the quintessential American classic. This single-breasted 2-button jacket features rope and padded shoulders, high & moderate armholes, small notched lapels, and a single rear vent. The full polyester lining in solid navy ensures clean lines, while the four gold wrist buttons complete the Ivy League aesthetic. An excellent fit rating (5/5) means this piece anchors the Classic American look with confidence and polish. • Shirt — DS-044 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A crisp white non-iron poplin dress shirt with French cuffs and a semi-spread collar (5" spread). The slim-fit cotton construction offers clean, all-American simplicity—there's nothing more timelessly American than a white dress shirt paired with a navy blazer. High stitch density (5/5), soft hand, and medium opacity make this a boardroom-ready foundation. The square-edge French cuffs add executive refinement while remaining appropriately understated for the classic aesthetic. • Undershirt — US-001 (True Classic): A white cotton-polyester blend crew neck undershirt with light drape. The snug-but-comfortable fit provides excellent coverage under the white poplin without any show-through risk—essential when the dress shirt is your canvas of American tradition.
