Fedora season is finally here in Wisconsin. One of my favorites is this early 1950s Knox Foxhound fedora which was more aimed at a sporting outdoor style. The ribbon is not the typical satin as found on a dress fedora, but rather a very wide yellow/orange ground that helps break up the substantially high crown. The fur felt is extraordinary in a toupe color. Paired with a vintage harris tweed action jacket, with back vents made for easier shooting, gentleman hunting or an afttenoon of Skeet shooting. Vintage Robert Talbott ancinet madder tie. As an older gent, when wearing this style of glasses and this outfit I have a very strong, erie and uncomfortable resemblance to my grandfather circa 1955. But I am bravely posting anyway.

I received a new compliment this morning while shopping at Meijer this morning. An older lady said “You look like you just walked off a book cover.” I looked confused and said thank you. And she replied “oh, it’s acompliment, I like how you look.” I am not sure what sort of book cover I supposedly I walked off of. I am wearing a grey porkpie, a light tan shirt, tweed waistcoat, green paisley ascott, faded green dungarees and walnut Chelsea boots.

Hi Everyone. Since I had my knee replacement surgery 10 days ago, I’ve basically been pretty immobile and unable to leave the house. Today was the first day I was independently able to shower which I am very grateful for. As a result I’ve basically been living in lounging pajamas and tee shirts while navigating everywhere with my walker and starting today, a cane. Having my post op meeting with my doctor this Monday after my regular PT, I’m hoping to get a real grade of progress and if my knee is bendable enough, the green light to drive and do light activities again. Can’t wait to slip on a pair of slacks, casual shirt, watch, bracelet and fragrance and meet the world again. I know full well recovery is months away but every little step is truly appreciated. Have a great weekend everyone!
