...With my brother who I haven’t seen for some time. A local bistro with Moules Frites. This was a great way to end the first week of 2022. 

I also got to test the navy strap on this piece. It plays it down quite a bit. I’m even thinking if I should have a blue alligator strap made for my Elegante. It would put a totally different spin on this piece. What do you think?

Have a great weekend everyone
