Gone forever PalmBeachGuy. Hello, A Trad Confused. I want to explore writing more, showing more original content, and sharing my overall thoughts on clothes.

Sunday afternoons are for washing and ironing my shirts. After years of getting upset at how my shirts weren’t being pressed the way I wanted I decided to “do it myself”. I watched a YouTube video or Martha Stewart showing how to properly press a shirt and it’s been off it the races since. Besides the fact that my cleaner charged me 3.50-9 a shirt depending if I wanted it “hand pressed”, now I save about $150 a month. My time is certainly worth more than $150 for the time it takes me. But, it’s honestly very therapeutic. It slows me down and it’s good to work, and it’s good to work hard. Seen here are about 8 of 20 shirts being cleaned. Everywhere shirts can be hung, they’re.

I remember reading HTJ’s recollection of how a particular college friend’s father dressed: candy striped OCBDs, tan cords, and Sperry boat shoes. I’m that kind of dad. Maybe someday one of my children’s friends will take notice. J. Press everything. (Except the Topsiders that you can’t see.)
In the meantime, we’ll take note.

Today: as @heavytweedjacket would say, I’m “rumpled”… Shirt, must iron (but didn’t) OCBD Brooks Brothers, Brooks Brothers Belt made for “St. Jude’s” (because what’s more noble than curing kids of cancer?) RL poplin pants, and Belgian loafers in the Tahoe.
