I reread the last paragraph because it somehow, almost as an afterthought in the way that good writers do, summarized the destination of my (and likely many others) sartorial journeys. Where I have arrived is a kind of greigecore at an ever-narrowing sartorial middle ground straitened by the ever more hideous dressing- down. This is not an unhappy place and one may take pleasure in occupying a somewhat elevated middle ground. What is also fun is finding pieces which are a little off the beaten track but which you enjoy wearing almost daily. So long perfect button-down rust-colored linen shirt!
This collection is beautiful, and the rod case in particular looks exquisite. Will Ghurka rerelease your Field Tote, too? I regret not getting one last year.
Your closing remark reminds me of Thoreau, who believed that we should “beware of all enterprises that require new clothes.”

Beautiful. What is the jacket you are wearing?
It’s a jacket I did with Fayad. https://www.fayadcompany.com/collections/friends-of-fayad-david-coggins/products/teddy-overshirt-in-linen-silk-cloth-by-loro-piana-copy

Thanks! Stay tuned about the Field Tote. Watch this space.
