Chilly Rainy Monday Style. . .

 

A very cool and calm day yesterday with only one brief trip out.  Otherwise, the Young Master and I watched the grass grow from the back porch between various showers that moved through the area.  

Another variation of fairly typical attire for May through late September here at Totleigh.  Skipole legs not required.

It was almost cool enough for corduroy jeans, but I was too lazy to return upstairs to pull out a pair from the flat plastic tubs stored beneath the bed.  This is where ski gear and other off-season clothing are stored once washed and folded each fall/spring depending on the garment(s) and season.

More rain today (Bring it on, say I!), so no work outside, which is kind of nice.  Unstructured time is always welcome.

    Can you believe it came off the hanger like that? The stars were in line yesterday!

    Thank you, Charlottesville!

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...

Vintage Bowtie Monday. . .

  A nd it's September 30th!  Week Six of the Fall 2024 semester.  Already.   To celebrate being alive, today I wore a vintage J. Press bow tie with a shirt from Mercer & Sons, suit by Brooks Bros., and shoes (with matching belt) by Allen Edmonds, the latter resoled in August, 11 years after their last recrafting at the AE factory.   This time, I simply wanted the shoes resoled, rather than a full recrafting, so did not send them off.  I took them instead to the last apparent cobbler in the Lansing area.  But it still took about a month until the work was finished given their backlog of business.  No matter, it was still summer.  And the crowded shelves behind the counter in the shop were good to see.  One of the cobblers is a soft-spoken young guy with long hair (But he knows his shoes!), so hopefully they'll be around for years to come.  All items shown already in the rotation for at least the last two or three years....

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
