A good friend and brother captured this picture of my transformation. I was taken back to see where I was and where I am today. Not that my time with the Christian Motorcycle Ministry was bad, but rather to remind me where I was and when I was trying to find and figure who I am. I have so many people to thank who have encouraged me and has helped me in my journey to becoming a gentleman. It's so much more than dressing in style or looking nice, which I thought it was. It is a lifestyle and a way of life that you are not given as a birth right, but rather a conscious decision you make and a journey that has no end. It is a continuous evolution of growing and learning that unfortunately too many view as too tedious or not worth the effort. But when you get the opportunity to look back or someone captures the moment, you see what this was all about.

Today is my son's 21st birthday! He going out with friends tonight but we will celebrate with the family tomorrow. Busy week but casual Friday needed. Still alot of work to do. Twillory performance houndstooth patterned button down shirt with rolled sleeves over Vertx dark wash jeans. Brown Anson belt with silver buckle and brown Thursday President boots. Monterey Kitty Hawk blue dial watch and Spice Bomb Extreme. Didn't talk about it but my grandmother had a rough week, being admitted to ER Tuesday night. Just got news she is home now. Wife's cousin actually sat up today and communicated with speech nurse. First time all week. Still in ICU.

Let's talk about what's going on with this outfit. Fellas let's get real and have a talk about any pros or cons of this ensemble. Let's not bash. Let's be honest and uplifting as well. Let's rate the outfit from 1-10 (1being lowest 10 being highest.) I'm open to any suggestions, compliments, ideas and tips that would help me grow as a better Distinguished Gentleman.

I wore this outfit the other day. I like the blue, not a shade I have worn before. I am curious to know the view on the length of the chinos, personal I think with loafers no break is the go. But I am very interested to get the group view on this one.
