Hollywood has a thing about cookie cutter copying, kind of like suburbia home builders. You know...
And once someone discovers gold in a new mine, here come all the other rushers eager to cash in on the same spot. One old television series remake becomes a hit, then before you know it, networks are combing through TVLand, MeTV and Turner Classic movie channel, looking for ideas on more re-makes. After all, if one is good, then twenty must be even better. Same goes for the fashion-setters, right? But what may work for some, may or may not always work for others.
The key is to remain true to yourself, be comfortable, enjoy the change if this is where you wish to delve. Hopefully we will still continue to see these classic looks from Mr. Jake:
Probably my favorite suit that I've seen on Jake was this brown number,
open collar, dress shirt and a jacket is dressy and yet breathable,
There's nothing like the classic cut of a dress shirt,
Even on crutches,
A simple henley for those important family appointments,
Bold cranberry and velvet on top of it,
And the fuzzy, the soft, the cashmere - that's classic Jake. Sensual softness against the skin is comforting. And we want Jake to feel comfortable. Seriously.
The oatmeal,
The chestnut,
The grandpa sweaters,
The classic, solid turtleneck,
Even though this jacket was from a scene in Love and Other Drugs, why does it look like vintage Jake?
There's not much that topped this classic black button-down and shades from the U.S. Open in 2009,
Navy suit, an unguarded look
Simple brown (is this fleece???) long sleeved T, unpretentious and comfy,
Soft layers,
One last look at the suits, Jake with an emerald green tie and a nice picture with Jeff Bauman,
I don't think anyone has shinier dress shoes than Jake.
From the Details 2015 photoshoot,
And from November 2018,
Jake at some of his past best. Classic never goes out of style. Like Errol Flynn,
and Montgomery Clift,
Billy Dee Williams,
and Peter Lawford,
Never out of style. Unique because it's you and who you've always been.

This is the story of a young man who basked and wrapped himself in the soft and fuzzy until sandpaper khaki and sweat-wicking poly microfiber called. And the soft and fuzzy faded away. Or did it?
Narnia would like to take a snuggled up, downy soft look at Jake and his penchant for the fleece, lambswool, velvet, suede, and cashmere in life. Do you have a clock's double nickel to spare gazing upon the following....
Even in hats...
You have to look closely at a few of those. He's been sneaky, slipping in suede and fleece, thinking no one is looking!! That's all right, we won't let on, right? It'll be just between us here on Narnia.
Now, with all of the frowns, fist pumps, PR-sanctioned panda board shorts and office manager chinos that come with the Jake package nowadays, one might be afraid that the soft and velveteen has disappeared from this comfy shoe dad.
Alas! But that is what Narnia is here for. Over the past few years, even the past couple of weeks, there has been plenty of..

to find comfort in. Take a look and spot the woolen. He's a sly lad, this one, hoping the glaring and stalwart sternness will deter.
with a side dish of menacing and Vitalis...
now look closely... aaaah, wait for it.... there it is, see that??
Ayyyyye, we see you, buddy. ;-) Trying to lose the lambswool in the crowd, but there's just no way....that collar of cush is wide enough to land an aircraft carrier on and we love it.
The above pic was taken outside the Hudson theater in the past week. And this one: if your jacket lost its fur collar, then grab the cashmere scarf off of the hall tree...
Gotta love it. Maybe there isn't taking any of the Pooh and Christopher Robin out of this man. I mean, if George Costanza can desire to drape himself in velvet, then why can't Jake stealthily and perpetually nuzzle himself against cashmere and fleece?
So, on this #FuzzyFriday, we see and we love. We remember the past and appreciate this particular nuance of Jake that I don't know about you, but I adore and love to see still peek through.
Happy freefallin' #FuzzyFriday to all.
