In many videos I watch and comments I read, I often see and hear comments in absolute. By this I mean a man MUST, NEVER, or ALWAYS. In my experience as an almost 54 year old man, nothing in life is absolute. My day begins with getting a family fed and out the door. Getting myself to work (either home or office), working my day, stopping at the grocery store for dinner items, cooking dinner, prepping lunches etc. At any step in between there may oil changes, household repairs, lawns to mow, firewood to chop, and the list goes on. While I do my best to look my best, from time to time, I will appear in public looking like I just crawled out of a hole or out from under a car. That's because I did. simply put, changing out of the clothes I "MUST" wear to accomplish tasks that cannot go ignored is next to impossible. Many of us, I imagine, are not the guy that calls "the guy that does the..." but rather, we are the guy! For the work I/we do, that cannot be ignored, please excuse the crocs, T's, and hoodie. Men are often not only called upon to find the solution but are also the very tool required to perform the labor. This is not a response to any one post or video but rather in response to an observation of many.

A gentleman is getting ready for an evening out. He checks his watch, adjusts his tie, and carefully shines his shoes. His wife watches him and says, “You know, most men just throw something on and go.” He smiles and replies, “Most men arrive… I make an entrance.”

Today I’m wearing this style: Dark grey shirt Black tie Dark brown suspenders Dark brown trousers Dark brown jacket Black fedora hat Black shoes Actually, this outfit is a couple of days old, but on the day I wore it I didn’t have the chance to post it here. Then I spent a day sick with a fever, so I could only share it two days later. It’s my first time wearing these trousers with the jacket—I actually got them at a big discount, by the way. That’s about it, thanks for reading

I came across these after reading Antonio’s article about heritage shoes today. Any thoughts?https://sullivent.com/services/
