@Edward, I also often times combine dress pants, dress shoes and formal shirt with a leather jacket these days. Interesting also to hear your thoughts about big law, these ladies and gentlemen will certainly have some influence on formal attire.

It's been interesting seeing the casualisation trend spread, just a couple of years after many big operations in the City dropped 'dress down Fridays'. DDF was unpopular with a lot of people, simply because 'business casual' meant buying a third wardrobe to go along with the work clothes and casual clothes. Funny how these divisions have only become more sharply pronounced, if anything, in menswear in the last thirty odd years.

Work from home yesterday, spent some time with the Aero Type III. Gonna take a long time to break in…but it’s a good time along the way.

Would pair nicely with these:

Peter Christian's this last season. I'm still torturing myself looking at them. I don't really *need* them, but.... I had a pair of lace-up wing-tip co-respondents made in very similar colours a decade or so ago; since I got really into penny loafers in the last few years, these really appeal. Would tone in nicely with your jacket! :)

It's new and shiny and the hardware is quite 'in your face" but the design is so cool. I Just need to wear it and get used to the feel and look.

It's an interesting, Americanised take on Lewis' normal design choices with the belt; if memory serves, the only other jacket with a belt rather than side-straps in their catalogue is the Bronx, which in 1956 they designed with a leather buckle with no pin in order to avoid tank-scratches with the very different riding position adopted by their target market as compared to US jackets. Looks good. Like a Perfect without the coin pocket, features-wise, but still has a distinctly Lewis air about it.
