My favorite Madras sport coat, J. Press… Had two buttons placed for vintage golden days reference… Picked up a few new Makers OCBD… Also scooped up this New Old Stock Timex box and papers… #winning

It’s been in the 50’s this morning and even though some of you would run around in a speedo at these temps, I’m freezing my butt off. Finally busting out the Shaggy Dog I forgot to bring up north, college days Alden suede tassel Mocs, still looking good since they’ve barely been worn in the last decade. 15+ yr old RL Kermit the Frog green cords, and NOS BB OCBD… Matchie-matchie I know.

Ready for a wonderful evening. Tuxedo and shirt by the wonderful and helpful J.Press, 20 yr old bow tie and cummerbund by Robert Talbott, shoes by Alden. Vintage Trafalgar braces. No watch, I never wear a watch with formal wear, it suggests to your host that you have a better place to be. I did wear my Grandfather’s crest ring that Cartier made in the 1950’s. Something old, something new.

With or without a filter, it’s a 100% made in the USA. Brooks Brothers 1818 sack Navy Blazer, ( @justbudfox it came in) J.Press Bengal shirt, BB tie, not seen khaki’s and Alden sleds as usual.

I am now truly convinced any other way of dressing is truly a waste of money. Though I have wandered off the reservation a few times in my life (style speaking)… I always come back to the basics. Fast forward 20 years this same outfit will still be perfectly acceptable, rewind 20 years equally so. Stay classic my friends.
