#menswear bloggers are just everywhere these days!

I just got a new pair of glasses this week.  I actually do need glasses to see, but a few years ago I switched over to contacts.  Since my old glasses were pretty ugly and outside of my prescription, I decided to get some new ones.  I was going to go  with regular Ray-Ban frames, but when I tried these on, as a lark, I really enjoyed the way it worked with my face.  

 Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go try a case and then get home in time to have dinner with Scout.

(On a side note, I’m trying out a new way to shoot these WIWTs.  I took off the ISO, hence why the photo isn’t quite as bright.  On the upside, the colors are a lot truer to reality and I feel the photo is a lot clearer and crisper.  I would love to get feedback from you guys on this.)

I’ve had this PRL DB jacket for a little while, but I haven’t really had time to alter it until recently.  It’s side vented, which is something I really like in a DB jacket.  I can still move around, but it maintains the classic shape.  

I’ve also come to realize I’m not a fan of the 6x1 jacket, which this jacket originally was.  I actually left the body unaltered, but I found that by adding a second buttonhold and making the jacket a 6x2, the body had a better shape.  The jacket pulls in about at my natural waist, as opposed to when it was a 6x1, where it pulled at about belly button height.

Sorry for the lack of posts here lately.  Things have been hectic for me.

How hectic?  I’ve only thrifted once in the last month.

I’ll get some more stuff up soon, hopefully.

red done right.

You know, I always hate reblogging something with so many notes, but that jacket is so intense.  The color scheme is great as well, but I want that jacket so bad.

I think I’m falling in love with yellow chinos.

I don’t give polos enough casual love.

In my opinion, skip the traditional pique and go for something softer like a jersey polo.  

In case you are wondering, yes, my socks do match my trousers, since they’re navy.  Navy with big red polka dots.

And a detail of my pocket square, because I really love it.

I think that this outfit is gonna be in regular rotation for me this summer.

Keeping it simple.
