At least I wish I was. Soon. Have a couple of trips in the works. And Boy am I ready. Today’s outfit was inspired by my zombie chambray shirt. Zombie in that I gave it a new life by having my tailor flip the collars over. It is easily 30+ years old. As is my tie. The coat was made 29 years and nearly 2 months ago. The shoes are at least 44 years old. The Darn Tough socks (my first pair of that brand) I discovered in Ely MN on a scout trip to the Boundary Waters 10 years ago. The silk pocket square and belt are a few months old and the super light weight gaberdine trousers I’ve had for a few days. Did I say so need to go fishin? I need to go fishin….

Preparing for a big week at work by ensuring I'm ready for the meetings and any work from last week is caught up. "Sunday Reset: Mocha, Linen & Blue Suede Vibes" There's a certain energy to Sunday afternoons when you're gearing up for a big week ahead. Today was about catching up on work, prepping for Monday's meetings, and doing it all in the kind of comfortable-yet-polished ensemble that keeps you mentally sharp without feeling constrained. The dress code? Relaxed sophistication with a tropical twist. • Shirt — SS-003 (Tommy Bahama): A mocha brown Tommy Bahama short-sleeve button-down with brown wood accents—the quintessential California Sunday shirt. This piece walks the line between "I'm getting things done" and "I could be on a veranda somewhere." The button-down collar keeps it slightly structured, while the rich mocha color grounds the earth-tone palette. Perfect for a mild spring day when you need to focus but still want to feel free. • Undershirt — US-009 (Pro Club): A heavy-weight tan Pro Club crew neck in cotton. The Pro Club heavyweights have become my go-to for weekend wear: substantial enough to stand on their own if the overshirt comes off, but comfortable enough for all-day wear at the desk. • Pants — PN-017 (Island Importer): Beige linen pants from Island Importer—because nothing says "I'm relaxed but still productive" quite like linen. These breathable beauties have that perfect casual drape that works whether you're at a standing desk or settling into a long planning session. The beige tone plays beautifully with the mocha shirt, creating an earth-tone monochrome that reads sophisticated without trying too hard. • Belt — B-014 (Charles Tyrwhitt): The chocolate brown suede belt from Charles Tyrwhitt with a silver buckle. Suede on suede with the loafers? Absolutely. The texture harmony here is intentional—suede speaks the same language as linen: relaxed, tactile, refined. The chocolate brown bridges the gap between the mocha shirt and the darker loafers.

Heading out with very casual fun shirt, jeans, canvas-like sneakers and a hat. We are meeting a colleague and his friend for lunch in Scottsdale and then will walk around a mall.

It’s a beautiful sunny day Smile 😊
