No really office work today, mostly running errands and an eye appointment this afternoon so casual Friday attire as well.

I work remotely on Fridays so I am usually a little more casual but today I had an after gig with my band. I play guitar & sing. We cover 50’s, 60’s and 70’s - So I wanted to be dressed well, but with an slight edge. Charles Tyrwhitt denim shirt Quince tee Amazon Essentials dark wash denim. Allen Edmunds blue suede brogues. Timex Waterbury 39mm Yes - we played “Blue Suede Shoes”

Twillory performance blue and white checked patterned shirt. Dark wash Vertx jeans with brown Anson belt with silver buckle and brown Justin roper boots. Monterey Kitty Hawk blue dial watch and Scent Reserve inspired by Spice Bomb.

In the two years I’ve been in this community I had only purchased one coat and two pair of trousers (plus some CT shirts and one tie). Most of what I’ve posted is quite old clothing. But as I am settling into a more desirable weight I broke down and followed my budgeted purchases which takes advantage of the seasonal sales. Since I need some tailored clothing that will actually fit I added some items to the closet. On a trip to Oklahoma City about a month ago I caught my friend Steve Giles of Stephen Giles Clothings clearance sale up to 60% off and got two pair of trousers and a very light weight fall jacket. My mother happened to be in OkC yesterday and picked them up for me and dropped them off about 10 O’clock last night and I thought that might work so as not to wake my wife as I slugged off to my early morning men’s group. Maybe a little late in the season for the coat but I had to try it out. https://stevengilesclothing.com •Sid Mashburn vicuña colored herringbone • Samuelsohn tan trouser • CT white French cuff shirt • silk pocket square • O ring belt • Pendleton socks in clay • Cole Haan Waxhides (1982) • antique shamrock cuff links • Ernest Borel automatic watch (1940’s)
