Want to throw this out there Your boots are only worth what you out into them, also crap throw away boots are priced $200 and below, don’t buy those , they r thrown together and only meant to last maybe a year of that maybe 6 months. Spend $300 or more and get your washing/waxing/polishing and conditioning items to take care of them, boots are meant to be an investment , also your investing in your feet, your back, your spinal chord . Take this serious!!! I have like 15 or 16 pairs of boots from cowboy boots to dress boots, weekend boots, hunting boots, fishing/boating boots etc and I take care of all of them . Also it’s good to buy boots that you know can be resoled or even rebuilt. If the tag says they can’t be resoled then yet again Don’t buy them…. Cheap boots are like microwaves, washers and dryers and weedeeders, if u pay $200 then you’ll get maybe 2 years out of them, $300 3 years etc. So do your home work before you decide to invest in boots

What is one accessory you wear in formal or semi-formal dress (think lapel pin, piece of jewelry, writing instrument etc) that has particular sentimental value or a good story behind it?

It’s a beautiful sunny day

No suit today, I am in the office again to catch up with the ANZ Big and Growth Manager, that is a step down from the last group I met, but was set up by the CEO and Manager of Growth. I also had a hair cut and cutthroat razor shave yesterday at my barbers, I really enjoyed that, and it was also why there was the extra stubble in yesterdays post. Todays outfit consists of M.J. Bale Brera “Loro Piana” Jacket in Denim Blue. This Jacket has been woven in italy by the loro piana textile mill from a luxe trilogy of fine wool, silk and linen. M.J.
