A Return To High School



The other day, I was the guest speaker at a high school. It was a scary experience for many reasons, but I decided to sport the donegal tweed and chinos look for the kids and faculty. Overall, the program turned out very well.

What I wore:

Southwick Donegal Tweed Sport Coat
Brooks Brothers OCBD
Polo Wool Tie
Izod Chinos
Cole Haan Saddle Loafers

I love the look, but is it really cool enough where you are to be dressing like that? It was 82 in Philly today, but it felt more like 92. Just wondering.

The high was around 70, and the low was in the 50s that particular day.

The whole thing looks great!

That blazer is really great....not sure about the tie....or the aqua pants with it.

I love the tie!

Every piece could work separately, (less the storybook tie) but the greens in the coat,pants and shoes fight each other. Swapping khaki for the sage chinos might do it, but I would really use those shoes for contrast, not coordination.

The tie sucks. Grow up!

I have never before seen such a well-ironed BB OCBD shirt.

Was it professionally laundered or do you have some secret heavy-duty starch or sizing that you use.

I find these shirts impossible to iron.

What topic did you enlighten the kids upon?
I wish it would get cooler here in Texas. It is 90F as I write this comment. It'll be late November before I can pull out the tweed.

It's too warm for tweed even in PA.

This are very old Cole Haans --- you will not find a new pair, sorry!
