New shirt? This collar is much more flattering on you than some of your others.

A very important detail indeed.

What are the shoes? They look great.

Vintage Florsheim Shells

Sort of. New last FW in oxford cloth. I have two with the same specs. Still wearing out some of the others with less than ideal specs, but I am to the point that I have enough good alternatives to move them on just about.

Is this the first tartan-blackwatch of the school year?

Yes. There will be more.

 

[ppk]

Yes. There will be more.

The torrent starts with a single drop. 🤣

It seems to be a day for solid purple ties (see AnAcuteStyle above)

The weather in NYC is mild (highs of 73F/22C) but quite humid, giving me pause to break out fall gear, even though calendrically, it is autumn. This evening in NYC, there is a gathering of Styleforumites at Alfargo's Marketplace, a pop-up event that has popped up conveniently within walking distance from my apartment, thus I shall be in attendance, most likely early evening this evening, for a pre-dinner drink and perusal of the items for sale at the various booths.

That being the case, I chose attire that would be both apropos of a meeting of the style-conscious, and comfortable enough to wear in humid weather, with an eye for those items not seen in a long while (today's shirt and shoes).

Sports jacket - Paul Stuart
Shirt - Kamakura
Tie - Hackett
Pocket square - Ralph Lauren Purple Label
Trousers - Brooks Brothers
Shoes - Septieme Largeur, custom patinated

Dropped off some batteries to be recycled at the library this morning. I use rechargeable AA batteries. After around ten to twelve years of being recharged they can't be recharged anymore, so I take them to be recycled.

Part of the adventure of taking pictures using a Bluetooth remote shutter button and the 10 second timer on the iPhone camera is you never know what will happen during those 10 seconds.
Today the mail cart rolled by as it delivered mail to the library, police station, fire station, and city hall.

As I keep shrinking I keep having to have my trousers shortened. Dropped off a pair of trousers to be shortened at the tailor before I went to the library.

Brooks Brothers jacket, Lands' End tie, L L Bean OCBD shirt and corduroy trousers, Viyella sweater vest, Squarextraordinaire pocket square, and Allen-Edmonds shoes.

After dropping off the batteries to be recycled rewarded myself by walking a few blocks south to Tutto Bene Bakery & Cafe and getting a chocolate chip cookie.

Yes, I know I still look like I did before the eye surgery in January 2023. I still don't see any better. A few months after the surgery the doctor suggested I have another operation. I told the doctor I'm probably better off not seeing some things, so didn't have another operation.

Close up of the shoes and the place on the corner of Rodeo Drive and Little Santa Monica where the first Carroll & Company store was.

A path just south of the library that leads nowhere.

Linen shirt and pants. Vintage BB jacket.

Roy did you ever consider getting some of your strides slimmed while they’re getting shortened? The strides on your BB wash and wear suit seem a lot slimmer than most of yours and they appear to be really flattering.
(I may just be exposing my own personal bias here!)

Yeah, Roy, that's something to consider. As for your comment about shrinking, that's something we all oldies do, but in your case no worry, because the fab height and volume of your hair makes up for it
