Went out last night. Still on my business trip with a limited wardrobe, but tried different options to see if I can do better this time.

Same grey herringbone jacket
This time blue bespoke dress shirt
Navy polka-dot Brooks Brothers PS (works with the open collar, but if I were home I probably would have picked a rich burgundy print PS to go with the tie)
New Brooks Brothers striped tie
Medium-grey Selentino Sterling fedora
Tan bespoke slacks
Black leather belt
Breitling Airwolf watch

Tried it with and without the tie, with and without the hat. I can guess which 2 of the 4 you guys like the best. :)

(never would have known that just an hour before the pic, I was in full combat gear, pushing cars out of the way with my own vehicle, getting shot at with paintballs, would you?) :)

What a wonderful experiment, Wildblue. No changing variables other than those selected for observation. Even your facial expresion remains constant throughout the series. Well done ... ;)

Hey, good hat. I like it. Good height crown, nice blocking, good length of brim, good color ribbon, you've got it pulled down enough on your forehead. I would say the vintage hat looks better with the tie. The look without the tie IMHO would be better served by a new hat.

I like that hat on you, good job. Hey, I didn't know that Europeans went for the Open Road look. I thought that was just for we relaxed North Americans and Australians. That photo could be in Oklahoma or Kansas. Frankly I've never seen such a hat before on a European.

"Hey, Butthead, I think we're supposed to guess what hat he's wearing."

"Ahhh, Fat and tall."

"No, Dude, like yesterday with the Campdraft. I think it's a VS."

"VS scooter."

"No Dude, like VS hat."

"Like Confederate General What's His Name?"

"Dude, he's not a General. He's a Major and anyway the War's over."

"War is cool."

;) ;)

Chuckle.. Chuckle..

Well done, IC. Whatever it is. :D

Dreispitz-Looking very western in that Resistol.

IC-Nice hat but watch out; I think you are smiling!

I finally got around to creasing my 7X Beaver Stetson I picked up off e-Bay a couple weeks ago, and I wore it out for the first time today. As suspected, I picked the cattleman's crease:

Thank you sir; it was advertised as mint and the seller was correct. Its the first non-Open Road western I've worn in 25 years.

Looks like all the X's live in Texas. Well, maybe not all of them. ;)

Mr. P, you could wear that hat from Argentina to Canada and nobody would be surprised!

It's a classic! :eusa_clap
