What do you all think about plaid overcoats for men? I went to the tailor with my mum and that was her idea. I personally can't remember seeing anyone with plaid outerwear but I low-key want to give it a go!

Choose the plaid/ tartan carefully so you don't look like a business lumberjack or a Scottish travel agent.

Good example of a very low key plaid. Remember that a plaid also means less formal. If you can afford two, you should have something darker and solid for dressier affairs.

I think it’s fine for the lining. I have a brown Barbour overcoat (i don’t think I’ve worn it in 8 years)

I can’t think of a plaid color combo that would work aside from black watch.

That’s basically Burberry 😅 I think is a great idea!

Now that I think about it, yes, ahah!

I just finished my PhD at a very good uni with 3 years technician experience before that. BSc and MSc also at very good unis with good grades.

I think this offer is well below par, but curious to hear what you guys think/if you have any comparisons?

Thanks in advance :)

CEO told me last week that he’s letting me go from the company at the end of the year. Clearly B does not know yet.

Do I tell B I’m getting canned, or let the CEO tell him?
