Good Evening Fellas, just wanted to say I start a new job tomorrow. I went from managing a facility to now I’m working in the corporate office managing. Just wanted some advice or words of encouragement from you all. I’ll also post my outfit that I will wear for tomorrow and throughout the week too.

Rain is forecast for today and tomorrow so it maybe back to the inside photos Today when Jade and I walked to school it was sprinkling very lightly and she was upset her hair would get wet and ruined, so I lent her my flat cap for the walk. She giggled and laughed about it but it saved her hair and she was very happy that her hair wasn't wet when we go to school. Todays outfit consists of; M.J. Bale Harwood Suit in a Mid Blue Birdseye Weave Charles Tyrwhitt Non-Iron Twill Prince of Wales Check Shirtin Light Blue OTAA White Navy And Light Blue Striped Tie OTAA Silver Bond Tie Clip OTAA White Pocket Square with Sky Blue Edge OTAA Jack O’ Cups Shattuckite Skull Bracelet White Howlite Stone bracelet R2D2 Socks CNES MTO Oxford with Goodyear welted construction and crafted from Italian crust leather Brixton Brood Cap in Washed Navy and Aluminium SOTD - Mancera Red Tobacco WOTD - Erebus Ascent 41 Blue MoP

In all the years I’ve been futzing with Classic Timeless Menswear (over 50 now), I’ve never heard a more succinct way to describe the art than Antonio’s Style pyramid. As a perpetual student of CTM I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to complete his course which articulates the concepts I used to sell half a century ago. I wished he had told me about the three terms when I started, but then again I probably would have had a hard time understanding very young Antonio in the late 1970’s 😏 👴 Fit, as Antonio states is certainly king and should alway be the first focus. A very close second is the function (knowing when to wear what where). Fabric sometimes gets relegated to merely an aspect of the temperature and time of year. But as one gets longer in the nose on the CTM journey fabric can become the esoteric factor that separates a blazer for example that merely suffices in a dress up situation to becoming a trusted garment that one truly enjoys wearing for decades. My friend @John Witvoet a couple of years back scored a beautiful RL Doeskin weave thrifted Navy Blazer. This luxurious soft (usually Merino Wool) brushed weave is an iconic fabric that is timeless. As time goes on, a half canvas or full canvas coat will conform to one’s body and it’s fit and fabric become a go to for multiple functions. The same could be said for a suit coat or a sportcoat or a blazer https://www.ralphlauren.co.uk/en/the-iconic-doeskin-two-button-blazer-264003.html?srsltid=AfmBOopsmHeXdioTIs7MNPCGeNz8p6ULMev1oiyjNGixWtx-x9ceC5ev Learning the “hand” of various fabrics. Understanding how different fabrics take dyes and how they hang and drape is an intermediate step and enjoyable part of delving into the world of quality Classic Timeless Menswear. In other words, like in other gentlemanly pursuits, the beauty is in the details and tiny refinements.
