It’s been a busy week.
Aside from wandering around abandoned warehouses in the dark, flying kites on the beach in the sun, working unusually hard, blogging a bit and conducting my personal life, I’m also within striking distance of completing the first draft of another novel. But, more importantly than any of that, I managed to squeeze in a trip to the tailor. He had a shirt ready for me.
Made by Johanna E. Edwards, it is, as you can see, a checked pattern involving different shades of pink, purple, brown and blue. The colors is in service of a larger contraption: A suit so mind blowing that those who behold it will tremble in its glory and which I’ll be having my first look at on Saturday afternoon.
But even paired with something different, the shirt’s construction and fit are, as always, flawless. For now, I’ll be wearing it with my most conservative suits and ties and just letting it shine through. This is an English method of dress, somewhat hindered by my lack of a school or club tie. My school disapproved of me almost as much as disapproved of it and I’ve never joined a club. But I have been kicked out a few.
I’ve also decided that the cocktail cuffs are my favourite.
