The Sartorialist: Closer - Volume II

Regulars here will know that it was The Sartorialist's photos that made me realise that there can be male style  in middle age. Without Scott Schuman's work there would have been no Grey Fox.

I therefore look forward to seeing volume 2, The Sartorialist: Closer. According to The Sartorialist's website there will be separate covers for men and women, at least in the States - it doesn't appear in both forms on Amazon UK, where the book can be pre-ordered. I like the idea of two covers; but will the men buy the cover with the beautifully-dressed woman and the women buy that with the dapper chap in the double-breasted suit, or vice versa?

Also available in an oversize hardback edition limited to 2500 copies, the book is for sale within the next few days in the USA and (I think) a few days later in the UK.

Grey Fox blog has exceeded 1000 visits!

To remind you, I have set out on a very personal mission to explore style and fashion for the older man - in middle age and after. To my delight the blog welcomed its 1000th visitor last night; a landmark only some seven weeks after the first post at the beginning of December last year. It's really cheered me up at a time when I'm holed up after my cycling accident earlier this week. I can't sit for long with the laptop at the moment so will ease up for a while, although I may post a few pieces I happened to prepare before the injury!

Many thanks to those visitors; I hope the blog will continue to grow. Many thanks also to The Sartorialist, who influenced this journey.
