u/WestviewEvelite

With silk/linen tweed jacket.

J Press pinstripe; Churchill polka dot tie. Club setting/lot of green leather and Black Watch.

Vintage British khaki wool suit, from Ash Samtani. Ferragamo tie, cordovan Aldens.

Trousers shorter than I wear nowadays.

Consider figuring our horse The Hell We Did in your Preakness exotic wagers. Well bred, early speed but in last race he showed signs of distance capability for today’s big race at Laurel Park. Morning line 15-1; post 7:01 EST. Daisy and Lilly are honorary outriders.

J Press madras and Mashburn green suede loafers; use Cartier cigarette case for wallet.

Preakness race day fit; figure our farm’s entry The Hell We Did in your exotic wagers; morning line 15-1, he is well bred with early speed but capable of closing and stretching out to distance at Laurel Park; post 7:01 EST.

J Press madras and Mashburn green suede. Use vintage Cartier cigarette case as wallet.

Case from 50’s; using now as a wallet. With Tank Americaine.

I have outdone myself with the jonquils and kiss me Kate’s; surely this setting will win her affections!

With Charvet tie, Aldens.

Vintage; happy it’s Friday!

Time for an Old Fashioned.

First, canapés and Old Fashioneds on the terrace; then out of the suit and onto the course!

Paul Stuart tie; Alden loafers, J Press button down. Tank LC.

Pinstripe suit from Jack Victor with wedding band for closing argument.

Picking peonies for Mom’s brunch. 2004 Sub.

Unknown if Bond would have been preppy; maybe yes and the debate just about what kind (liked drinking, British autos, evening clothes etc). Reading old original Fleming paperbacks is.

Bond didn’t have to worry about picking peonies in the dooryard on Mother’s Day (or despairingly checking the club’s brunch reservation cancellations list!)

Light blue chambray pants from J Press. Boast polo; an old favorite that’s coming back. Edward Green Belgravias.

Big fan of the tan suit; never understood the “outrage” about basic gabardine for Spring. Ferragamo ornithological tie.

Light green ornithological print with tan suit.

Have lost 40 lbs in 10 weeks so throwing off fit. Jack Victor on the sale deal; J Press monogram. In 2025 Q5 which is getting bad rap but it’s fine especially with the price discounted.

Like Tank Americaine with gold rings.

Is it too subtle or boring? I like it a lot but curious about what other watch aficionados think. 1964 ref. 3420J

Oxxford Clothes charcoal Super 100s worsted wool from 2000s; fabric is great; cut is trend-defying (at least in my mind). From great shop Lindsay Odom in High Point; similar suit now $4500 or so which amazes me.

With J Press button down, rep tie, Aldens; vintage Patek.
