Good morning gentlemen, You know there was a time in the early 40’s,50’s, 60’s, and yes even the 70’s that when a person was not dressed properly people would look at them and stare at them. They were considered the outcast or the person that stood out in a crowd. Flip to today, when people see a person in dress or professional clothes, they wandered who died or what they did that they ended up in court. Seriously, looking nice, and personal upkeep is now the taboo. Being seen in public unkept is the norm now. Women coming out in pajamas pants, no makeup ,hair unkept is the norm, or even worse dressing like men wearing me gym clothes like basketball shorts and tops. Men throwing on sweat pants, sliders for shoes, or wearing clothes that don’t fit. No care, not thought put into their appearance, this is the norm today. Now when people see someone dressed up nice they look at them weird and stare at people wandering why they are dressed like that. Is this the signs of the times? Does it have to be? No I believe that the more of us that are seen as men and women rather than people in a crowd of clones all wearing the same things and following the person they see next to them. A studied shows that when you hang around 4-5 people you become the average is those people. So if we place ourselves in the norm we become the norm, but we can reverse the norm by leading by example. Make history repeat itself by bringing back the society of gentlemen and ladies. This is part of the reason why we are here, now let’s rewrite history.

They have come to expect my deceased father in laws pastries (owned a bakery that was an OKC staple from 1946 until his retirement in 2010). His mother had a recipe for an Almond pound cake that my wife makes that seems to be a favorite.

Surprisingly, my custom fedora arrived a few weeks earlier than expected! I’ll need to build comfort wearing it before I can truly feel confident, but I’m really excited to have it. Also, I’m glad I can go outdoors without my eyes suffering from sunlight. Hopefully, my choice of color for the fedora doesn’t make me look too old. Bunjirow Custom Navy Fedora Brown Ribbon.
