One thing I feel strongly about is when escorting our wives and girlfriends we need to show them respect. These days too many men don’t bother. I am not one of those men. I try to coordinate my outfit with my wife’s when ever we go out together. I ask Robin what she plans to wear and then coordinate to it. This morning I knew she was going to wear her lavender skirt with a lavender gingham blouse and purple fedora.I knew my lavender double breasted sports coat matches that skirt so that’s where I started. I wore a white dress dress.shirt with French cuffs and grey trousers u der it. From there the accessories included a vintage silk tie that was her father’s, blue derbies and blue straw fedora. What you don’t see is my socks match the jacket, plus I have on gold monkey paw cuff links and my Hamilton Boulton watch. Unfortunately we were not able to get a picture of us together. So gentlemen, make the effort to compliment your companion’s outfit with your own and make her shine.

Gentlemen, I’ll be traveling soon and would rather not pack several full-size fragrance bottles. Can anyone recommend a reputable source for high-quality decants or travel atomizers? I’d like something I can easily label and use throughout the trip. Please note, I want to use the fragrances I already have to fill the decants. Thanks in advance!

My outfits are almost looking decent. One of the issues that stands out is contents of my pockets. My pocket items are [1] wallet, [2] cell phone, [3] keys, and [4] handkerchief. I carry them all in my front pants pockets - no sitting on the phone or the wallet. I don't like the way they show through as bulges. When I wear a jacket, it is better, with cell phone and wallet inside the jacket pockets at breast level. I only have 2 keys on my key ring. The wallet is one where the dollars do not need to fold, like a checkbook, and it contains several yet minimal items I need. I am looking for solutions at the office. Maybe I should leave my wallet and keys at my desk in a briefcase. What are some great ways to carry or not carry items without ruining the nice shapes of your outfits?

Yesterday I had the pleasure of being knighted in the 4th Degree in the Knight of Columbus. (Me: 1st on the right from the middle) Me and 23 of my other brothers were exemplified into the order in the 4th Degree and are the last ones to receive the old ceremony before the revised ceremony that will start as of July 1st. I just wanted to share this great day with all you fine gentlemen and I pray that we all grow together in God. 🙏🏼
