I just finished packing for what is sure to be a rainy Thanksgiving in Oregon. Here’s what I grabbed: Single-breasted trench Tweed blazer Cashmere scarf 2x blue OCBD Gingham button-down Shetland wool sweater Gray cotton sweater Vintage OSU long-sleeve shirt (because go Beavs) Selvage denim 5-pocket garment-dyed trousers Flannel shacket (it is Oregon, after all) Brown suede chukkas Vintage “I’ve been through everything” boots Nylites Throw in some socks and other necessities and this kit will make anyone ready for a put-together, dressed-down holiday with the folks. I think this photo also does a good job of outlining how I aim to dress every day - various combinations of simple, muted and versatile items.
