Roycru: "I need you to take a picture of me here"

Trader Joes employee: "Uhhh, ok...I'm ringing up a customer right..."

Roycru: "Yeah, they can wait. This is for the internet."

For those who, like @tgaith77 may be wondering how I take pictures, I use an iPhone, the 10 second timer on the iPhone camera, a KobraTech cell phone tripod mount and Bluetooth remote shutter button, and a little tripod that can hold on to things.

Haha, nice! I figured it was a friend or an easy phone setup like that. I have the same mini tripod, it's very handy👍

Giuliva Heritage Suit in red/green Solaro, linen shirt.

Barbanera loafers.

The Solaro fabric is hard to capture on photo but has a slight iridescent sheen to it with layers of red and green. It also has an interesting history, essentially as an early 20th century military experiment for UV protection. Cool twist on a “tan” type suit.

Man that suit looks so different from a little distance and less lighting.

Today's outfit:

• boat shoes: Sebago

Just a quick shout out, but the shoe laces are tied wrong. The bow should go sideways, not up and down.

Oh! I've been doing this since I am a child! Do you have any tutorial? Thank you.

The bows are fine just the way they are. Don't worry about it. Good looking outfit.

That suit looks great (gorgeous lapels), can you say something more?

I'm hardly an expert on technical details but the suit is 100% handmade in Italy, Neapolitan style construction, 3 roll 2 jacket, functioning buttonholes. GH offers lifetime warranty and repairs on everything so that's cool. I have a few other pieces from them including a shawl double breasted cashmere blazer which is also insanely nice. I love the broader lapels too, one of the design details that makes it stand out, I didn't want a run off the mill business suit.

The Solaro fabric is hard to see on the pic but attached some close ups what it looks like from the product pics. It has a little sheen to it. This is a pretty interesting write up on the Solaro fabric and its history.

Definitely doesn't run cheap though, this was around 2k euro and took a few weeks to make and be delivered to me. Hopefully I'll be able to visit them in Rome at some point.

Feels more like fall with the dark skies and rain today, but just a bit warmer. Decided to match the vibe.
