Thanks again for the FC votes, gents. New Challenge will be up later this week and run for two weeks.

In the meantime, it was a cooler morning yesterday but a lovely afternoon in Old Blighty.

Can I ask? How long before Armistice Day is it customary to start wearing a poppy?

Anyone’s choice as I can’t stand Poppy Nazis but I’d say November 1st is as good a day as any if a line of demarcation is needed. No overlap with Halloween!

The last Friday in October is when poppy sales commence here and that is when I begin wearing one.

Wearing a gray OCBD today. Thoughts.

Nice button down. Whose makeup is that? The collar looks nice and long!

Thanks. Spier and Mackay. Most of my oxfords are from them now.

In hindsight, there wasn’t really enough space in the arms to layer with the cardigan, but it’s not quite cold enough for an overcoat yet.

Heard good things about them. Any idea on the collar length?

I had a similar problem when I tried a cardigan layering with one of my coats. It seems super thin, but it made the sleeves tight and uncomfortable on that coat. I really like the look, but that cardigan doesn't get much wear. Same thing in a vest would be awesome.

That said, the look is great with that coat.

Their OTR is 3.5 inches.

The suit and shoes look nice. The curling collar points is not doing them justice.

It's always teatime somewhere.

Brooks Brothers jacket and sweater vest, L L Bean OCBD shirt, Bow Tie Club tie, Rugby Ralph Lauren pocket square, Orvis cord trousers, Gold Toe socks, and Allen-Edmonds shoes.

For fans of "Piece-Of-A-Person" pictures, a piece of a person somewhere that serves tea in coffee pots picture.

For those keeping score at home, got up at 4:00am this morning and spent around three hours (on two different trains) to get here and then did the same again to get back to where I came from after having tea.
