I've always really liked your hats. It's not something I'd do myself, with the high crown style, but you own it.

Sorta like I own my '92 Olds Cutlass, but I hope nobody sees me in it. Tibor apparently feels the opposite.

Well, now with the help of my friend here, I can get dressed daily and still walk around the house in my underwear...

Gorgeous coat. What I wouldn't give for something like that. (An Olds Cutlass maybe.) Now rip it off that mannequin and stick it in a glass museum-type case. Replace with navy blazer, the shirt and tie will thank you.

It's just too busy and complicated. It shouldn't be this difficult. Try following the advice you've received over the past two weeks. Are you receptive to advice? If not, I won't continue offering it. If you own solid shirts, now is the time to consider wearing them. Figure out how to simplify what you're doing.

Wait, I wore a solid shirt, solid suit, and very plain tie a few days ago. It could not have been simplier.

I'm still dressing as if I were visible to others, although the only time that actually happens is when I go outside, in which case most of this is usually covered in an overcoat, as it is still cold here in Massachusetts.

Have been working from home lately, until today...

Not cognisant of the risk of being
locked inside the office, I ventured into the office to fetch this suit (the jacket of which i am now wearing). Then the risk materialised:

Somehow I was able to get in, grab this suit that i was hanging in the office, and took a selfie in. Then as i went out for a delivery and tried to come back in, i was locked outside with all my stuff inside!

So I’m now sitting at the reception of the firm, waiting the security guard to rescue me at 5pm...

Guess the moral is: Style is prized and sometimes pricey. Sometimes the price can be as dear as liberty. (Jk)

Jacket (part of suit): Light grey PoW Fresco from Prologue
Shirt: Blue bengal stripe poplin button-down from Peter Lee
Tie: Navy Shantung from Drake’s
Trousers: Mid grey from M&S
Socks: Mid grey OTC from Berg&Berg by Brescianni
Shoes: Dark brown shell cordovan pennies from C&J

So gents, enjoy your WFH days (with a relatively higher degree of liberty than I have right now)!

Cheers,
Royal_Airforce
