A reminder to check ones collar before going out to ensure the stays have not vacated (and to make sure your wife knows its something you dont want your collar doing, so she tells you). However, I always enjoy a day its cool enough to pull out the tweed and suede in a classy casual look. What is your must-wear item for this upcoming New Year's?

Hanging out with the Missus by the stove tonight. Got it a balmy 80° in here, we got our sweaters on, and are relaxing since the kids are now in bed. Smoking an Oak & Iron "Da' Boss" cigar inspired by and created for Dewayne Noel (some of you here will know who he is.) Probably should've styled my hair down but I'm already showered and hate going to bed with gel in. Forget it, I'll just look like a harpy eagle. 😁 Bonner of Ireland fisherman sweater Wrangler shirt and jeans Allen Edmonds tassel loafers with a natural rubber sole

Mostly another “get stuff done” day. Productive, though my wonderful tailor missed being there at two different agreed upon times. That said, he did adjust a pair of pants in less than a day so I have something for NYE. Today’s Outfit Shirt: David Donahue French-cuff white dress shirt with twill pattern Slacks: Tan wool Santorelli slacks Vest: Charles Tyrwhitt sharkskin blue vest Tie: Harris Tweed tie with a multicolored pencil check pattern on a brown background - beast of a tie at 62” and in thick tweed! Belt: Nordstrom dark brown belt with silver buckle Shoes: Stacy Adams navy cap-toe Oxfords Socks: Il Regalo OTC cotton dress socks in brown and blue stripes. Pretty disillusioned with this brand. Will make a post later. Cufflinks: Brown and tan pattern on silver cufflinks from Trafalgar Watch: Disney wedding watch (you get one when you have your wedding at Disneyland (probably any Disney park). I wanted something in metal today.
