Straw hat with a suit...

Torpedo's away!

Torpedo: I have to give you envious props. You look perfectly natural and great in your vintage clothes and those great straw hats. Some people have an advantage that their appearance lends itself to certain clothing styles. This is a good example. You are obviously very comfortable in your style. Well done. And that 'stache works too.

Anyone ever tell you that they think you resemble Tyrone Power? :eusa_clap

How do you do it, Torpedo? You always find the right combinations.

Boater

I say an emphatic YES to the straw boater! I finally started wearing one occasionally last summer, and believe me, it's the same "getting used to it" learning curve as a fedora. Once you get used to it, it feels completely natural. A good boater is built with unique features to keep your skull nice and cool in the hottest weather. And it looks cool, and women give you great big smiles when they see you. Very sharp look.

Thank you all for the kind comments!

I must cite as a definite influence this very site. Plenty of useful info to read, and lots of handsome gentlemen to take inspiration from!

So, I am honored to hear I am myself inspiring and encouraging others, too.

Regards!
