New laptop expected within 2 hours. I tried resurrecting one over the weekend and at least it will be ready for a new hire. Collected a few new suits on Friday. Both are very light weight and will be ideal for summer (or, our current winter, given that this whole week is in the 70s). • Suit — SJ‑013, SL-022 (Mantoni): A light‑gray Mantoni windowpane suit in airy woven wool, cut with clean lines and subtle navy/light‑blue paneling. Breathable enough for a 72°F day while maintaining true business‑formal presence. The pattern reads sophisticated without visual noise—ideal for internal meetings and leadership settings. • Shirt — DS‑010 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A CT spread‑collar French‑cuff dress shirt in white Burlington‑weave twill. Medium‑high weight with soft hand, strong opacity, and crisp structure. Its spread collar and French cuffs elevate the look, making it the perfect canvas for a grenadine tie. • Tie — NT‑041 (Fort Belvedere): A true navy grenadine (Garza Grossa) tie from Fort Belvedere—untipped, hand‑finished, and richly textured. Its matte weave harmonizes flawlessly with the patterned suit, projecting understated executive authority. Tied in a clean Half‑Windsor. • Pocket Square — PS‑009 (Fort Belvedere): White Irish linen square with signature blue X‑stitch edging. Crisp, conservative, and razor‑sharp against the gray jacket. The TV fold reinforces clean geometry and modern business formality. • Belt — B‑001 (Hanks): A black, fully lined Hanks leather belt with silver buckle. Minimalist, structured, and perfectly aligned with the shoes, cufflinks, and watch metals. • Footwear — DSh‑004 (Magnanni): Magnanni black cap‑toe Oxfords in Blake‑stitched corrected leather. Sleek lines, deep shine potential, and a moderndress silhouette. An ideal choice when projecting seriousness and clarity of intent. • Socks — DSo‑074 (Fort Belvedere): Over‑the‑calf extra‑long‑staple cotton socks in black with tiny white dots. Hand‑linked toes, excellent stay‑up performance, and a refined pattern that complements the grenadine tie without drawing attention.
