Finally a bit colder this morning and even a spot of rain before sunrise. We love getting rain at this time of year as a bulwark to fires in the Los Angeles area. A basic workday outfit but with a sportscoat vs. a traditional suit jacket today. Today's outfit includes: Shirt: Brisk Winchester twill in mid blue with a two complication collar: pin collar and a club collar Slacks: Peter Millar wool slacks in Italian blue Jacket/SC: Ralph Lauren camel hair single-breaster SC with notch lapels Pocket Square: Fort Belvedere brown & blue paisley silk square Tie: Kirby Allison Ancient Madder silk tie in rust, with navy and deep green shapes Belt: Nordstrom dark brown leather belt with silver buckle Shoes: Thursday Boots double monk-straps in cinnamon brown Socks: Il Regalo navy with mid-blue shadow stripe, wool & silk, over the calf dress socks (I'm really starting to love these especially for half the price of the same dress socks from other brands I use) Cufflinks: Unknown maker, blue multiangle reflective blue squares atop a silver base Collar bar: Fort Belvedere silver plated collar pin with cubic ends (this is their largest collar bar, which I thought would be way too small - for the Brisk pin collar shirts, it is the perfect size and nicer than the free collar bar with comes with the Brisk shirt) Watch: Fossil Neutra Quarts with a cream color face and darker brown leather strap
