….headed off to Greece with my kids. Needed something to keep the sun off my face & head. I find function is the easiest way to justify trying a new style. Any other hat wearers in the house? Anyone else taking a break this month?

I was shopping in a mall today and came across this treachery, the people working at this men’s clothing store obviously don’t know the basic style rules😔😖

Saw this article and was so impressed by the fit of the coats versus what we see today. The operable button perfectly hits at the natural waist in each picture, the length of the coats are exactly balanced and the pocket flaps hit at the hip points. Once one sees the right way, it’s very hard to not notice the oddity of the modern fashion faux pas. Granted each garment is 100% bespoke and the pics cross decades, but the fundamentals of fit are timeless. Just thought I would share. https://www.permanentstyle.com/2026/01/deliberately-unsexy-bernhards-sartorial-journey-from-1988-to-today.html

I learned a while ago that wearing a striped jacket withe non-matching pants was a no-no, unless it was a regatta blazer. But, now I'm getting info that in certain circumstances, you can wear a suit separate with stripes and odd pants. Has anyone ever dabbled with this look? Rampley and Co. even has a short vid on this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VE9f0Z0KkU8

@Antonio Centeno Happy Birthday!
