Yesterday:

This the apprenticeship with Tony you told me about?

Yeah, dude. Yesterday I wanted to test out my trouser pattern so I assembled my first pair of muslin trousers:

3 Piece for Today!

The weather continues to be nigh unto perfect here in NYC - sunny skies, mild temperatures, and low humidity. For today, I've opted for an older suit from Brooks Brothers, one in their Regent cut, a bit more "modern" than their Madison model suits. It's one of only a handful of RTW Brooks suits I have left in my closet, most having been displaced by suits from Phineas Cole at Paul Stuart's, or by suits from New & Lingwood, or Ede & Ravenscroft in London.

For some unknown reason, I always feel more relaxed in a brown suit, and have always had a brown glen plaid suit in rotation among my suits for decades.

You will note an intruder in one of my photos - my husband was attempting to revive our Canon Eos M6, using the easiest available model, i.e. me. The experiment was not a success - the camera functions as it should for only a few shots.

Suit - Brooks Brothers
Shirt - Lewin
Tie - Charvet
Cufflinks - The London Badge & Button Co.
Pocket square - Robert Talbott
Shoes - Paul Stuart house brand
Face mask - New & Lingwood

I enjoyed Simon Crompton's article today on white denim and I have a lot of respect for his points of view. But he did reiterate several times that he tries to avoid looking "showy", which is a theme of his and is fair enough. I think this outfit would give Simon an aneurysm. I think it's awesome!

You know, when I read that piece, I did think about your mantra about having run out of f***s to give....
From prom is the most reliably useful CM blogger and of course a lot of fellows hate to stand out and it’s good that he can address that but how much more satisfying to dress less self-consciously... I mean it’s not like we go round wearing untanned animal carcasses and a penis gourd...

Well, I don't always wear animal carcasses, but when I do I prefer them to be tanned. And, yes, if you are self-conscious I don't see how you can be truly comfortable in your clothes.

Today seemed like good linen weather. Does anyone have a tailor that they would recommend to add an additional sleeve for the third arm I'm growing after my final vaccine dose? Actually, in all honesty, I've had absolutely no side effects whatsoever from either vaccine. Just soreness at the injection site.
