The muted brown plaid jacket provides a warm, textured foundation that pairs naturally with the cool, understated light blue shirt, creating a balanced contrast that’s easy on the eye. The fabric interplay—wool-blend in the jacket against the smoother cotton of the shirt—adds depth without visual clutter, reinforcing a refined, tactile look. Anchoring it all, the dark trousers ground the palette, allowing the mid-tones up top to stand out while maintaining a cohesive, classic business-casual profile.

Basically being the ROTD simply means the guy or lady who finds and introduces the speaker. Happens about 3x per year for me in our size club. My speaker today was my friend Tad Jones. Tad played football for old Miss then transferred to Tulsa University where was the Quarterback. After that he was elected to the State House of Representatives (our band played for the house in the floor back then at his invite). He was the floor Leader for the house. Then he took the role of marketing director for Grand Lake of the Cherokees here in Oklahoma and in the middle of a toxic red algae scare his get-er-done approach landed the Bass Masters and instead of a horrible tourist season it saw its largest. Following that he took over as the Executive director of the Will Rogers Museum (WR is Oklahoma’s favorite son). Against unsurmountable (seemingly) odds he has recently raised over $18 million for a complete renovation of the memorial that will start August 14th. Thought that deserved a suit. • 1985 MTM navy herringbone • paisley tie • wool pocket square • white French cuff CT short • antique shamrock cufflinks • Pantherella blue socks • J Fitzpatrick cap toes • 1940’s Bulova watch
