Finally got to the end of the crazy intense timelines. Granted, now I can catch up on all of the issues pushed to side during this time. My son is home from college for four days starting tonight and we're taking holiday photos this weekend. I flipped around a lot of the AI-app built outfit today to add in some pieces I wanted and then additional pieces that felt better suited to the outfit. As always please share your thoughts, positive and negative. Friday wear-balancing note: The least-used visible pieces are SL-027 (trousers) with 3 tracked wears and NT-042 (tie), CL-020 (cufflinks), and FR-006 (fragrance) with 5 each. The workbook’s current strict bottom-35 list consists entirely of zero-wear items, so none of today’s selections technically falls within that group. • Shirt — DS-047 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A crisp white, mid-weight cotton shirt with a subtle herringbone-twill texture, classic point collar, and adjustable French cuffs. Its high opacity and formal structure provide a clean foundation for the patterned tie; it takes 2.5-inch collar stays. • Undershirt — US-009 (Pro Club): A heavyweight mid-blue cotton crew neck in size XL, cut with a roomy fit and near-elbow sleeves. It remains concealed beneath the opaque white shirt while reinforcing the outfit’s blue palette. • Trousers — SL-027 (Michael Andrews Bespoke): Bespoke charcoal wool trousers with blue and gray patterning, made in the United States from 11-ounce Holland & Sherry basketweave. The excellent fit, matte finish, and two-inch cuffs give the outfit its tailored foundation while adding only the day’s fourth tracked wear. • Vest — VWC-002 (Charles Tyrwhitt): An indigo-blue wool vest with a light-blue sharkskin pattern, five navy buttons, and full lining. Its texture distinguishes it from a plain navy vest and supplies upper-body structure without requiring a jacket. • Tie — NT-042 (Silvio Fiorello): An Italian three-fold Duchesse-silk tie combining blue, navy, teal, and off-white geometric motifs with a restrained sheen. At only five prior tracked wears, it advances the Friday rotation goal while connecting the indigo vest to the blue-gray trousers.

TGIF everyone. A few contractor and distributor meetings today. Then get to enjoy the weekend. We do have a very confusing yet approved business casual dress code at my company. We work in the field and with contractors and distributors daily. If you level up to Much you just look out of place. So we can pick and choose our style for the types of meetings. More relaxed business casual for in field meetings, dark colored jeans, polos, button downs, boots, derby’s, or clean white tennis shoes, jackets of your choosing as long as it’s professional. Corporate meetings we have a different dress code to follow: button down or dress shirts, slacks/Chinos, sport coats or blazer, and appropriate dress shoes. For more formal meetings such as with Architects, awards dinners, and other large corporate events we are expected to wear a business suit or equivalent. Tie or no tie is always optional and personal preference. So we do have some leeway and options for our daily attire. I lean more casual to business casual daily and stay one step above my clients and keep in line with our dress code standards. You will from time to time see pictures of me with a tie and a more formal look. My work wardrobe is quite unique and varies on formality. Friday Casual look: - black performance polo with company logo - Brown leather belt - Slim fit blue jeans - Brown Chelsea boots

Twillory light blue performance dress shirt over Grey Vertx pants. Black Anson belt with silver buckle and black Tecovas boots. Invicta Dive watch Tom Ford oud wood for today. Lots of closed door meetings. About 4 hours worth. Also dealing with open records. One person made 16 open records requests in two days. Ridiculous and totally unnecessary. Just because you have free time in your life you doesn't mean to harass anyone. These are not 1 item requests. Paragraphs of wanting documents of videos. All of which are at least 10 months old.

A bit too warm here in San Antonio to sport the Donegal wool cap I picked up during my recent travels through Ireland, but I’m certainly looking forward to wearing it when the temperatures drop! In the meantime, it feels great to get back to my signature South Texas style—a crisp Western jacket, turquoise bolo tie, well-worn cowboy hat, and a handsome pair of ostrich boots. Two very different styles, each with its own character, but both remind me that great menswear is about embracing tradition, dressing for the occasion, and wearing it with confidence.

Leveled up day. Some cooler weather and newly promoted detectives 1stcday abd he said he would be wearing a tie. Tommy Hilfiger grey sports jacket with white presidential fold pocket square and Trilogy Award lapel pin over a white cotton linen Charles Tyrwhitt shirt. Brooks Brothers tan wool pants. Black Anson belt with silver buckle and black Tecovas boots. Orient panda watch and Spice Bomb.
