Rise

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

” Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend – or a meaningful day. “ – Dalai Lama




Cotton & Linen Double Breasted Sports Coat with a totally soft construction and high peak lapel. Wooden buttons for sportier and textured contrast to be paired with linen pants or denim. How many times I’ve herd, “I can’t wear that because I’m too old…”. What’s your excuse now?

” I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade… And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.” – Ron White

Beautiful summers here in South Florida. Who am I kidding? I live in paradise! As I get ready for my buying trip to New York, I’m looking for my jackets in this style. Soft shoulders with patch pockets, completely unstructured internals with subtle patterns to be paired with both trousers and sportier pants for after my appointments. I have more resilient fabrics such as travel series performance wools and also tropical weight wools blended with mohair. When I travel, I always pack one or two of my travel jackets in this style because it’s easily dependable to stay crisp the whole tripe without maintenance. The shown jacket for today’s #dailythreads fits the current Italian trend of having three buttons rolled-to-two as the top button is submerged within the lapel bottom fold. I make this style daily for clients. For my trip in NYC, follow my Instagram @timmyb3rd for shots of your favorite designers and brands. Also, catch a sneak peak of my own collection that is in the works for SS16. Have a great day!

For me, this quote describes Scott’s work that inspires millions of us around the world:

” Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.” – Steve Jobs
