Day 9/ As Trad as I can


(Blue/Navy Stripe Shirt: Perry Ellis slim fit L)
(Silk Navy/Gold/Silver Repp tie: my father's)
(Tie bar: thetiebar.com 1 1/2 inch)
(Khakis: Jcrew sz 33)
(Desert Boots: Jcrew sz 11)
This is a  trad day for me. It was really unintentional. Bill Clinton is in town campaigning for Heath Shuler for Congress. Some Weejuns could have really put it over the top. This slim fit oxford cloth shirt is a great fit for me, and is not all about a brand.
A note on my father's coats: Most of his tweed coats or sport coats that I have had tailored were originally made for Bell's Traditionals in Asheville, NC. This store even went so far as to use great fabrics. This herringbone coat is certified Harris Tweed; only the best. They were a mens store that has long since gone. They offered off the rack ready to wear suits and sport coats. Reusing, re purposing and keeping everything as local as I can.
