With the family out for a few days, it's a combo work-from-home day and shopping day. I have been looking at the second-hand market or a fedora for several months. Unable to find anything I wanted to try, I found a good fedora specialist in Santa Monica that focuses on the intro to mid-level cost hats from quality vendors. One of these is shown in today's outfit, so let me know what you think. The high-waisted pants are still a bit unusual in their look to me, without a vest of jacket that is. Saturday Casual Cool-Day Outfit — Home & Shopping • Shirt — HS‑008 (Brisk): A sheer-white cotton-linen hybrid shirt with a band collar, concealed placket, and subtle sharkskin-like weave. The relaxed collar and breathable fabric keep the outfit casual and textured; no collar stays are required. • Undershirt — US‑007 (Pro Club): A chocolate-brown cotton crew-neck undershirt with a comfortable fit. Its warm color remains discreet beneath the white overshirt while supporting the outfit’s brown palette. • Trousers — PN‑012 (Fort Belvedere): Dark chocolate-brown Stancliffe corduroys in substantial cotton, with a classic cut, cuffs, and matte finish. Their rich texture establishes the cool-weather foundation without becoming overly formal. • Belt — B‑015 (W. Kleinberg): A chocolate-brown calf-suede belt with dark-brown stitching and a silver steel buckle. The suede complements both the corduroys and braided shoes, creating a coherent brown leather story. • Footwear — DSh‑019 (Carmina): Dark-brown braided suede slippers on Carmina’s Simpson last, with chiseled toes, full calf lining, leather soles, and Goodyear-welted construction. Their intricate texture adds sophistication while retaining an easy slip-on character for shopping. • Socks — DSo‑083 (Mazarin): Dark-brown over-the-calf cotton-blend dress socks with continuous ribbing and a matte finish. The monochromatic design quietly bridges the trousers and shoes without competing with their textures. • Ring — R‑001 (Ellie’s Jewelry): A platinum-and-diamond wedding ring. It remains the outfit’s personal constant and provides a restrained bright-metal accent.

My Sundays are when I usually do my clothing maintenance and care. This includes ironing, checking and cleaning. I put in a show or movie and tend to my shoes and clothes.
