Thanks. Little dude was not having it this year. The only way he would take a picture with us is if we let him hold the remote and he pushed the button. Otherwise, he just wanted to play in the dirt.As a dad, I'm fine with the loafers as a show of solidarity with the little man's boat shoes. Your kid's comfort and confidence is always paramount to your own fit. Great parenting in this photo shoot. ?
The weather, after being sunny and cold this morning, has turned greyer as the day has worn on here in NYC.
After an early morning shoeshine, exercise, and an early lunch, my day peaked with a visit to my dentist, for a routine cleaning. After the cleaning, my dentist informed me that one of my second molars is loose, and recommended a complex and expensive-sounding set of procedures to correct this condition.
As the old adage goes, "When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping." Drowning my anticipated fiscal sorrows, I visited Paul Stuart, which, of course, brought on a much more pleasant set of anticipated fiscal sorrows - depending on the sale price of a particular item, when their semi-annual sale is announced. More on that news as things progress. I did have the pleasure of the undivided attention of my salesperson and Ralph Auriemma, the creative director for Stuart's, showing me virtually every suit in the Phineas Cole line. What was remarkable was how different fabrications of the same model suit would look and fit differently - a lesson only to be learned in the here and now, not using a photo on a web site.
Meanwhile, for today, I opted to bring another winter-weight suit into rotation. I believe that I bought this suit eight years ago, in London, in the company of fellow poster Bernoulli - the first of many sartorial adventures with the gentleman. It was an auspicious start for today's suit.

Very nice jacket. Love the texture. Those pants from the Rake are amazing. The pants and shirt go extremely well with the jacket, but I think the tie is too light and does not provide enough contrast. On a side note, why are your photos so narrow? It would nice to see the jacket, tie, shirt, pants and square all in one shot.At 72 Degrees, We Mix A Lil Wool A Lil Silk...

Woke up late and did not have time to choose things carefully. I just wanted the outfit to be distinct, and I think I achieved that.

I would like to see this with a navy shantung or grenadine subbed in. I can send you one to try if you have none, but these things are so versatile, you should just pick one up yourself - I think it would look smashing.At 72 Degrees, We Mix A Lil Wool A Lil Silk...

Great look. Just two minor things: First, side flaps on the jacket in or out? Choose one. Second, the picture is so blown out at the light end of the histogram that I can't tell if this is a button down or spread collar shirt. Given the business vibe of chalk stripes, I'm hoping it's the latter.I snipped off a loose button today and stitched it back on the way I've seen fancy Italian tailors do it and that was pretty much the highlight of my week.

I noticed that afterwards. I had just stuck my mask in my pocket as we were about to head out and didn't realize the flap was in.Great look.
