Don’t tell me Summer is over.

Nice look. I like that you have a painting wear the TV should go.

You lads been to the Esquire shop on Fountain View yet?
Odd place for a menswear shop and I used to live walking distance. Next to Ron’s Pub near San Felipe.

I know where Ron’s Pub is, I didn’t realize there was a menswear shop over there. I’ll have to go check it out.

Is that in Houston?

In the Uptown area, San Felipe is just north of Westheimer near the Galleria

Pronounced, by the old timers, “San Phillipy.”

Have you ever done the tour of Taste of Texas with Nina Hendee? Super interesting Texas history stuff (they own a crazy amount of historic Texas-related artifacts), but she mentioned the pronunciation of San Felipe when my wife and I went several years ago. I’ve lived here my whole life and had never heard that- I’ve always heard “San FiLEEpay”, but now any time I drive down it, I can’t help but think “phillipy”

No but I’m intrigued.

Casual Friday. I think the polo is short enough that it doesn’t look bad untucked. Don’t mind the sweater under the shirt.

Still Madras season here. It's over 100F today.

The person standing next to me is an employee in the Shoe Department at Nordstrom's in Scottsdale Fashion Square.

70ish degrees and drizzling in DFW. I spent the evening in a beer garden drinking. I was very excited to take out my red Baracuta G9 for the first time this season.

That’s a pretty sweet shade of red. Not too bright by the looks of it.

Here’s my Sunday best. A term that still has meaning in some places.

Think they called this Baracuta 'Claret'. A very nice color indeed that blends very well with the Fraser Tartan lining. There is also a proper bright 'red'.
Apart the classic Navy, Black, etc., they tend to change their shades at each collection.

These pictures are a bit off... The pants look too long, and they seem to have a bluish hue. However, the are a medium dark (not quite charcoal) gray, and well tailored with very little break in reality. I guess it's the way I'm standing.

Are you posing? Are you posing for SF photos? Really?

Yeah, I really like the shade of this red. It is not as flashy as the James Dean Rebel Without a Cause look. I got it at End Clothing. They called it Brick Red.

That's funny. I could see the jacket that James Dean wore in my head but I had to look up a picture to remember that it was, in fact, bright red. He sure wore it well. Not sure that I could. Wait... what am I saying? I wear madras, of course I could wear a bright red casual jacket. And I'm no James Dean.

Seersucker is something I know I can wear. And as long as the weather permits (which seems to be long indeed) I will wear it. Official end of the season be damned.
