DB and Glen Plaid Monday. . .

 


 

A chilly, gray, and damp Monday for the start of Thanksgiving Week.  Perfect weather for a double-breasted blazer and a job candidate interview.  Some students around today, but much thinner on the ground than usual for a Monday, which means the library is actually quiet for getting various small things check-ed off the mental To Do List out ahead of the long holiday weekend,  

Once, again, should've hit the blazer with the ol' clothes brush before dashing out the front door in the dark this morning. Grrr.  Likewise, the vamps of the shoes, I assure you, do not look as bad in the flesh.  Not sure what the iPhone did here, but obviously some attention is in order with an application of Renovateur, a dab or two of shoe cream, and a good brushing.  

Not a terrible effort, but it does illustrate why attention to detail is so vital to presenting a polished (ahem) appearance.  Still, onward, and upward, eh?

    I look at your combination and try to replicate it from my wardrobe. Works out very well. Thanks for the ideas.

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

Mid-November Monday. . .

A few minutes between classes this morning, so I snapped  pictures of today's attire and accessories.  The first wearing this season of the Optimo 'Dearborn' fedora, and the tie is a vintage number from Orvis, a nod to my late father's fly-fishing and fly-tying hobbies.  It's been two or three years since this particular necktie's last appearance, so high time to pull it out and knot it carefully around the ol' neck.  Managed to nail it on the first attempt too.  Could this be the start of a trend? -- Heinz-Ulrich

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
