My sartorial resolution for this year is to finally get my first real overcoat!

My resolution is to keep doing what i've been doing, buy few items but quality items of good fit. Also to get the bespoke shoo well finished.

Continue phasing out cotton and mid-calf socks.  A real overcoat is on my list as well, as is getting stricter on the fit of more casual items.  Stop nabbing 'good enough' sale items and hold out for well-chosen items.
Oh, and get a decent hat or two; wear at opportune times.

I’ve always been a suit man and have no sportscoats.  What I’ve seen on the net has continuously rekindled my dislike for the sportcoat approach, as it – all too often – makes young men (like myself) look like old men.  However, I’ve recently seen some very interesting summer approaches in a more Italian style, on which is suitable for someone my age.  By Italian I mean what I’ve actually seen in Italy in the summer – not catalogues of Rubinacci and iGents.  The only real new thing I plan on doing, therefore, is a summer sportcoat and a couple of summer trousers to go with it.  Just to try it out in those slow and quiet weeks at the office in July or August.

Bespoke shirts. Replace shoes that can't be repaired anymore (probably 2 pairs this year) with better shoes. Next suit to be a chalk stripe as don't have one. No braces because I hate them. Lose weight.

Only purchase clothing or shoes that I truly LOVE!  No more borderline or impulse buying to fill an imagined "need" or "hole in my collection".
