Plastic "Pith" Helmets like the US Postal Letter Carriers Wear?
To follow-up I did order one. I wore it to a baseball game and actually got some positive comments on it -- mostly about where I got it. I really liked the fact my head did not get soggy from a Tilley hat/boonie hat/baseball cap. I rinsed it out when I got home and it seemed like new today... -

Plastic "Pith" Helmets like the US Postal Letter Carriers Wear?
I found a review of what I asked about on Amazon. I'm pretty amazed by how uniformly positive the reviews are: http://www.amazon.com/Rothco-Military-Pith-Helmet-Khaki/dp/B000LOEWQI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1405697630&sr=8-2&keywords=plastic+pith+helmet -
Plastic "Pith" Helmets like the US Postal Letter Carriers Wear?
That's simply not true. BOTH are still commonly used and offered for sale. -
Plastic "Pith" Helmets like the US Postal Letter Carriers Wear?
Have you actually worn one? The two letter carriers I have spoke to would both say your simulation would not yield results anywhere near wearing what I asked about. -

Apparently you didn't see where I typed "I have no desire for an actual pith helmet." -
Plastic "Pith" Helmets like the US Postal Letter Carriers Wear?
A real pith helmet (or a panama straw hat) would become disgustingly "sweated-out" after a few severe uses which are just about daily for me. That's why I wear Tilley hats (which cost as least as much as pith helmets) and boonie hats -- they can be laundered -- but they also aren't all that... -
Plastic "Pith" Helmets like the US Postal Letter Carriers Wear?
I usually wear a Tilley or generic boonie hat while out exercising or working in the sun. Unfortunately they get sweated through and they are not all that comfortable after a while. I was thinking about getting one of those plastic "pith" helmets (I have no desire for an actual pith helmet)... -
Would you please critique this outfit?
Definitely not a funeral director nor corpse quality to my attire that day. Not in the least. I'm not sure how either a solid or striped tie would have made a difference? I thought most "power suits" were navy and charcoal pinstripes? How would it turn anyone off? Unless I made a fashion... -
Would you please critique this outfit?
Thank you! After this experience I have a real interest in black suits! -

Would you please critique this outfit?
I had a very special event to go to last Sunday (part business, part social, part churchy) that lasted for several hours. Appropriate attire for men was either a business suit or a blazer/tie/slacks. It was a special event for me so I decided to wear something very nice. I'm 44, 6'2", 220... -
Writing Pen Clipped to Coat Front Pocket?
What is the significance of clipping a (nice) writing pen to a suit coat or blazer/sports coat exterior chest pocket? Is it considered to be good taste? Thanks.- Abraham

What Constitutes a Gentleman's Walking Stick?
I sorta like your cane. It would make an excellent weapon. I like the patina too. It say "this was my grandfather's." I would never carry a walking stick for style but I would carry one as a weapon and as something to lean on.- Abraham

What Constitutes a Gentleman's Walking Stick?
I used to do that as a kid. Today I think a cop might take exception to carrying a golf club. For almost 3 years I used to carry a policeman's truncheon when I walked at night. I learned to spin it on its lanyard, the whole bit. I never knew that carrying a truncheon was illegal -- thank...- Abraham

Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...
I bought a pair of these because I couldn't justify a set of Wesco's. I am blown away by their high quality irrespective of their low price. Read some of the reviews on them...- Abraham

What Constitutes a Gentleman's Walking Stick?
I'm not going to refer to it as a "weapon." One of the huge benefits of a walking stick/cane is that they are pretty much "hands off" due to the Americans with Disabilities Act. In any event my question is about what constitutes a proper gentleman's walking stick? I would hate to procure one...- Abraham

What Constitutes a Gentleman's Walking Stick?
What constitutes a proper gentleman's walking stick for everyday use? Does it have a brass/bronze eagle or duck's head? Or a solid knob at one end? Is it stained wood where one can see the grain or is it black? I want a walking stick largely to carry as a weapon when I go on long walks at...- Abraham

Hat for a Cleric in a Plain Black Suit?
Wearing a cassock out and about would lack taste unless the priest was a prelate and was dressed in choir for a specific event. In any event, this thread has been very informative. You people really know your hats. -
Hat for a Cleric in a Plain Black Suit?
I really have no idea about the accepted colors. A black fedora on many priests would look affected to say the very least. A cassock is not proper for an event that takes place off Church grounds.
