-Hey A.C.. I know, it's been years. Been blessed to have been and remain busy.
-Thanks ManofKent. The wife put that together this afternoon.
-Everyone's hats in this room and everyone's outfits in the others look great.
Glad to see so many old friends and meet new ones as well.
Hello All. It's been a while. Here's me today wearing my Bee straw for a print ad promoting my voiceover talents. You can't tell by the picture but I'm also wearing a double pocket shirt by Calvin Klein.
Here I am putting my Bee straw throught it's paces at the legendary Coral Castle in Homestead, Florida. A very vintage Memorial Day.

My kids seem to like it just fine. They each have fedoras of their own.
Coversation heard in the back seat between my daugheter and her friend:
Friend (whispers): Why does your dad always wear hats?
Daughter: Because it's cool!
Plus, they can always pick me out from across the field!
Get Capone by Jonathan Eig
Good book.
A lot of insight into the City of Chicago in the 20s and 30s.
A lot of information on Capone's efforts to stay well dressed.
In fact it seems his large amounts of cash spent on suits at Marshall Fields helped lead to his tax evasion conviction.
It's all about the 'tude
I love to pick up my kids at soccer/softball practice.
I walk in dressed to the nines and people look at me like I'm there to mow somebody down.
I get lots of nervous stares. ;)
This one hangs in my recording studio

My In-Laws must have been in a generous mood, they have given me a $75 dollar gift card from Men's Warehouse as a birthday present.
So what do you suggest I purchase to help further along my vintage inspired wardrobe of suits and blazers with my new found riches?
A blazer? Dress shirt...
Sorry....I just saw this.
Yeah you gotta love Ol' Jack.
No idea on the hat, but i'm sure it's a nice one.
Looks like he's having some work down on the sleeves.
He's still got the label attached.
Nice lid!
A very old friend wore hats just like that for years after he got tired of replacing his panamas. He kept forgetting them in the car. A real no-no in South Florida in the summertime. Those leather sweatbands curl up like fried bacon.
It would be cool to see the finished project.
Matching Hat and Suit
Here's my two-cents worth:
I try to match the hat color to either my suit or tie.
I try to match my belt and shoes with the ribbon.
(ex: Blue suit and blue/gray tie=blue or gray hat. Black ribbon=black shoes and belt, brown ribbon=brown shoes and belt.)

Wow, great response. Now a little backstory.
I was discussing an upcoming gig with our manager when she asked me what hat I was going to wear to the gig.
I said it didn't really matter because I always remove my hat when I play.
She said "Yeah I noticed, what's up with that?"
