    Tie with Chamois Shirt -- good look?

    I was getting dressed to go out to a casual dinner tonight and I put on a fairly heavy LL Bean grey chamois shirt with two pockets, black Levis 501's, a black leather belt and black hiking boots. As I was waiting for my wife to finish getting ready, I buttoned the top button on the shirt...

    Akubra hat with a bit bigger brim and crown than their Campdraft?

    Thank you all for the wonderful information and sources. I really appreciate it. N.B. I should have said "where's the best place to order an Akubra hat that's in the US or ships to the US."

    Akubra hat with a bit bigger brim and crown than their Campdraft?

    I would like to know if Akubra makes a hat with a bit bigger brim and crown than their Campdraft? I ideally it would have a bound brim like the Campdraft and it would be in silverbelly. I would want to give it a typical Open Road bash. Also, where's the best place to order an Akubra in the...

    Morning Dress for Church?

    Thanks for your comments. I'll add three things: Those pushing the hardest for suits/coats/ties are often those dressed in old suit coats, short sleeved "dress shirts", odd-width ties, khakis, and white stocks. The above often have plenty of $$$. The often serve as ushers which...

    Morning Dress for Church?

    My parish church (Catholic) sees everything from jeans to proper business suits and everything in between. Many of those pushing suits/coats-ties dress hideously -- old suit jackets (say a charcoal chalk stripe) with new slacks (khakis), ties a mile (or an inch) wide, that sort of thing. So...

    Morning Dress for Church?

    In a word, poppycock. When it really comes down to it, morning dress/morning suit and white or black tie is far more appropriate for a religious service than the sack suit which was developed for secular business activities. Further, it's absurd to suggest that wearing black tie to a public...

    Morning Dress for Church?

    I have long attended a church where there is a struggle between the suits/blazers vs. khakis/jeans. Actually the khakis/jeans group ignores the other group, while the other group tries to pressure them into wearing suits/blazers. Along comes a new pastor who is staunchly (and obnoxiously) on...

    Absolutely timeless, classic, tasteful and conservative cufflinks?

    Thanks for responding. MOP and onyx for business as opposed to formal wear?

    Absolutely timeless, classic, tasteful and conservative cufflinks?

    I am looking for some absolutely timeless, classic, tasteful and conservative cufflinks. Cufflinks that appeal to both the connoisseur and the layperson alike. Are there some "standards" out there that are always in good taste? I have a pair of inherited silver Tiffany "knots" and a pair of...

    What hat would you use to replicate this style?

    What hat would you choose in order to replicate this high crown campaign hat (except for the color) worn by actor Sam Elliot in this photo? Thanks much.

    Akubra Campdraft Question

    Thanks, I really appreciate the input. Where's the hot place for an Americano to buy a Akubra Campdraft? Are all suppliers pretty much the same? Thanks again.

    Akubra Campdraft Question

    That really is a good looking bash. It looks like the sort of hat/bash that no one could take issue with. It's good looking, it wouldn't be viewed as a indy/poseur hat by anyone and it looks like it would be effective for both sun and cold control...

    Akubra Campdraft Question

    Akubra Campdraft w/ Cattleman's Crease on Large Head? Does an Akubra Campdraft sporting a Cattleman's Crease look good on someone with a large (7 7/8) head? My face is fairly tall and wide as well. When I see photos of Stetson ORs, they sometimes look like 10 gallon hats and other times they...

    Thanks very much for clearing this up. Reusing the name "adventurer" wasn't too bright...
