Good to have arrived at Friday -- it's been a long week at the office.
I'm mixing materials and textures today...
Black/white houndstooth silk/wool SB 3B ventless sportcoat
Marshall Field's "Field Gear" black cotton cuffed chinos, slightly wide leg openings
Polo "Blake" casual light gray brushed cotton button-down, open neck, crisp white tee underneath (new purchase)
Black silk pocket square, puff fold
Claiborne shiny black leather dress belt with large rectangular silver buckle, bar across the rectangle with cut-outs above and below (the belt buckle is a focal point of the outfit today)
Swiss Army watch with black band (right wrist)
Polished stainless steel link bracelet (left wrist)
Armani Mania cologne
Black OTC socks with multi-colored vertical striping
Bostonian black kiltie tassel moccasins, high shine ("rhymes" with the belt well)
Nautica black DB topcoat
Black leather gloves
Dark green plaid lambswool scarf
Vintage Dobbs grey tweed fedora (new purchase)
A word on the shoes. They're not the "highest end" shoes in my closet, and they are corrected grain leather. But they look spiffy as heck, and they're mucho comfortable. I get emotionally attached to all my shoes and other clothing items, "high" and "low." If it's in my closet, I'm fond of it and find a use for it. Every piece has a different resonance.
