TRINI, you're looking good these days, mostly, but by God you need a new shoe wardrobe.

Very close to ordering a cream linen suit. Please tell me on a scale of 1-10 how conservative business dress that is.

Thanks and I know.

Thoughts on a pair of these?

One can always re-tie one's shoes. Hypotension and a bleeding transplanted kidney, another matter!

Seriously, I just got into bespoke shoes and folks are showing me how to do various secure ties. Keeps me flexible and away from the dreaded calcification, I suppose.

I sail so I know how to tie a small variety of basic knots but I have never known that there was a "correct" one for tying one's shoes and that mine is "wrong."

This is like the time some ass criticized me for an "off center tie dimple." Well, OK. You got me.

Hey, it's not as trivial as it sounds: one time I tied a bowline in a pair of cap-toes and ended up having to chop the laces off.

At least I kept my feet attached.

BTW - I vehemently disagree with the hoi polloi about the bold rep tie from last week - I liked it. Whether that makes you feel any better...would be debatable.

I agree, but I don't mind this pair of shoes so much (the Mora double monks looked pretty bad though) That is a big watch for conservative business dress and I always prefer those collar buttons buttoned...

Don't try them all at once!

You'd look good in this, so unless you really need another work suit, why not just order it and wear it for non-work occasions. A Rubinacci cream linen would be great, DB even better, like the one from the 30s that's floating around here.

The only practical thing I ever learned from my time in the OR when I was a student/junior doc was how to tie my trash bags securely, so they never open accidentaly. Surgeon's knot, every time.

Surgery requires such immense patience; nowhere more so than transplant work I think, given the fineness of the work. Man, it would do my head in. Kudos to you dude.
