The Stuff of Which Sartorial Daydreams Are Made. . .

 


Yes!  The Fall 2022 J. Press brochure and look book arrived with the mail late Friday afternoon.  My son and I spent time at the breakfast table perusing it together this (Saturday) morning.  You know, sowing the seeds and all that.  

While most items featured in the first two thirds or so of the catalog are a feast for the eyes (and how sad that there are few things I actually "need" anymore), the Fair Aisle sweater vests, in particular, look intriguing.  I've been trying to find one (for myself) the last few years with little luck.  But a birthday and Christmas are on the horizon.  

Hmm. . .  

Looks like I ought to drop a rather pointed hint to The Grand Duchess before too long. . . "Oh, Sweetheart?"

    The combination of the black and white herringbone jacket with a brown-orange-red, etc cardigan really looked off to me. Both are fine, but together? Am I the only one who is disturbed by that? I’ll restrain myself from commenting on the colors of the duffle coats.

All opinions are welcome here. Even those that differ from mine. But let's keep it clean and civil, please.

The Problem of "Business Casual" Attire. . .

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
