The only thing that changed for me was that I went from wearing fancy dress clothes to fancy casual clothes ?

I just wear crap, a cat that sheds everywhere and a 3 years old is too much for nice clothe at home....

edit: yet somehow I bought more shoes and more sportscoat since March then probably the last 2 years combined...

edit2: scratch that, maybe last 4 years combined for shoes, that's how I got the global sanction order from my wife...

Completely agree on the cat issue—it’s a huge problem

I built a laundry folding & packing surface above our dryer as I didn't have a flat surface without dog hair. It's my safe space, even though I haven't packed all year.

The brown shawl-collar cardigan I grabbed from Armoury continues to be one of my most-worn pieces at home. I’m really growing into it, too...

now imagine if you have a cat, that would be the perfect sport for her daily nap...

edit: and my wife was about to throw away the hanger rack, she was like you hasn't use that all year, and I was like, yea I hasn't wear shirt all year to just have something hung dry there...

I think I need to turn off heater to enjoy some of the outwear... don't think that conversation will go well with my wife...

We’re so poor, I spent $500 CDN on a sweater to save some money on heating.

see, that sweater pays itself off in less than 2 years, if you're in Canada, maybe less than a year!

I used to dress in more tailored clothing for work but that's obviously not as appropriate at home. But dressing nicely is both something I like to do for myself, for putting myself in the right mindset, rather than always wearing sweatpants and pajamas but also shows some level of respect for others who I'm on video calls with as well, especially because its not that much effort to put on a collared shirt and a nice knit when its a little cold. The city hunter is both a nice, comfortable piece because its completely unstructured, but acts almost like a lighter cardigan, thus why I mentioned why I thought the wool jersey might have been nicer in the winter than the cotton-linen (though some people like wearing a cotton cardigan like the ones on 3sixteen).

There's actually a phenomenon around what you wear and how you might be perceived or how you perceive yourself: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/03/science/clothes-and-self-perception.html

Even aside from that, when you're at home, do you like to have nice things? A nice glass that was thoughtfully considered and designed? Nice furniture that both looks good and is comfortable to sink into? I'm not sure how that's so different from liking to wear nice clothing from home even if no one sees you in it.

my wife read something on the internet about if you keep it a little colder in your house you’ll get sick less so that’s what we are doing.
So, just have her read that stuff.

can you write a believable wiki article *on how more shoes prolong your life? I'll immediate link and share that conspiracy theory

I missed out on the Sportex Model 6, but the single breasted Model 3 is still just sitting there taunting us all. Someone send me $1200. https://thearmoury.com/collections/...ortex-amj03-sport-coat?variant=12570017726535

Fabric is seriously amazing

Anyone handled it in person? I mean on screen it looks like a nice winter navy jacket with a bit subtle shine to it (no idea why, but when I think of Dormeuil I think of something slightly shiny, not in a bad way, just feel like that's what they do, sort of a city luxury thing?)

several folks bought the model 6 when they first started the 20% off RJ sale. i.e.:

First real spin in my new Ring Jacket Model 6 in Dormeuil Vintage Sportex (I switched out the buttons for spoke MOP). My favorite RTW DB model
