I really wanted to stay warm today without putting on an overcoat. So, naturally, I put on three different cashmere pieces: sport coat, sweater, and scarf.

Day 33

A Frigid Morning as Asheville eases into winter and rain.
This suit still needs to have its leg holes taken in but overall its fit is much better. This suit and a cashmere scarf kept me warm...til it started rainy. Need my trench after that. The shirt and tie pairing is classic me. I have worn these two together for a long time. Winter is here no more pant cuffing, or rolling. And socks are now a must. Need some corgi socks!

Day 21/ Classic American

Peak lapels. Double Breasted. Cashmere. These are the three things I love about this glenn plaid sport coat. I would have loved to have had this as a whole suit, but the trousers were never produced.  The grey is perfectlty muted, I think. I am trying to evoke a classic american appearance. Yesterday I replaced my old frames. They had lasted me a decade. I hope these ray bans will, too.

Day 16/ Navy Suit

I have been told by my father, repeatedly through out my life, that a navy suit, white shirt and black cap toe oxfords will always be classic. Trying to be classic today. This suit is cotton so I'm not sure how much longer I can keep wearing it as the colder weather seems to be coming on. That might provide inspiration to get my wool suits tailored.

Day 12/ 11 hour workday

Ill will be traveling to Boone, Spruce Pine and back to Asheville today. This double breasted blazer seems a timely jacket, and was a great off the rack fit needing no Magic from Mary.
