Election Day Tueday Harris Tweed & Cords. . .

Another Harris Tweed jacket on the top half for today, a rainy, windy, and chilly one here in Mid-Michigan.

And the bottom half, featuring the familiar pair of Allen Edmonds longwings, which have been treated with Saphir Renovateur and Saphir neutral 'High Gloss' on the toes and heels since they last appeared here.

The Young Master, whose school is closed today since it is a designated polling station, and I stopped by our local polling station on the way home a little while ago, so I could do my civic duty and cast my vote in the midterm elections here in The United States. While very well behaved and patient, since he had already voted once today with his mother, our blonde, freckled nine-year-old was a hit with the various retired ladies and gentlemen in charge of the voting station, introducing me to each one in turn as "The Mean Father." Even funnier was when he told one pair of women who took my photo ID and application to vote that he would be a mean father some day too. A very funny boy. I wonder where he gets it?

This is how it's done. Business Casual the RIGHT way, ladies and gentlemen. Even during the summer months. A photograph (taken by Studio B Portraits ) which appeared in 425 Business Magazine in May 2017. T his post on the problem of business casual dress began as a quick postscript to a previous blog entry last week but quickly grew and grew as additional thoughts occurred, were developed in more detail, and revisions made. So much so, that it seemed, eventually, like a better idea to make the initial P.S. afterthought into its own entry . Are ya ready, Freddy? Then, here we go. . . ------------ U nless you actually plan to sell beach snacks and trinkets on Cozumel, become a serial barista, or greet customers at a fancy nightclub after taking out huge student loans to attend university somewhere for four or five years, plus an MBA afterward, it's really a better idea to err on the side of (somewhat) more formal work at...

Friday on Campus Style. . .

S omewhat atypically, I was on campus for several hours today helping with an interview that is part of a larger documentary project on which a colleague and I are working. Although I am behind the camera (I'm the audio guy in fact), what better reason does one need to dress presentably? Exactly. Everything worn, barring the recently purchased University of Wisconsin socks, a gift from the Grand Duchess, has been in the rotation for a while now. And, of course, there was the Panama hat, which I'll wear until we pass October 1st when the felt fedoras reappear. -- Heinz-Ulrich

Tan Suit Tuesday. . .

W hile it's now after Labor Day here in the U.S,. we still have almost three weeks left of summer according to the calendar. And since today was bright, sunny, and pleasantly warm (though far from hot), it seemed like a perfect opportunity to trot out my tan cotton suit and tan loafers/belt. Slightly disheveled, yes. And the shoes need some Renovateur to moisten 'em up But not a bad overall look if I might be so bold. -- Heinz-Ulrich
