Summer is a perfect time for the Ivy League look.

I have read that the early 1900s saw the very first pink dress shirt – designed by Brooks Brothers – become a hit. It was initially meant to target female students but it caught on more with college guys. Pink is a great summer color for short bald guys I believe. I am not sport'n a dress shirt, but mine is weather appropriate.

The pug and the hat are a match for my Champ which is a "Hand Woven, South American Genuine Panama." Some panama hats are easy to pick-up. Going into the city or driving out to the country, this hat travels well. Warm weather hats, for me, need a substantial leather sweat. The wear and effort of the leather sweat for me increases during the warm weather. You begin with quality leather and end with the everyday careful conditioning/drying of the vintage leather that is needed to "gently" wear a panama. This panama has more decades of wear coming.

Best, Eric -
I really , really enjoyed that pic of the Champ summer hat. A great lite retro looking summer hat. Had to do a search and found a close second in a vintage 60's Stevens from South America, so I grabbed it. Hope it shows up looking half as nice as yours. Thanks for the inspiration Eric. ;)

Warm and humid day here in Minnesota. I can only imagine what weather exists for all of the southern states. Folks stay safe and cool. A dog soiree this morning was taken in a Supernatural Panama. Something supernatural that originated (retailed) in Washington DC, USA? If it was not embossed, I would continue to be skeptical. ;)

It really is a "supernatural" light and airy weave labeled from Tulcan, Panama. It is not "fake news." :rolleyes:

The brim moves gently in our light morning breeze. Be cool and safe folks. Eric -

Cool hat, Eric. Literally and figuratively!

Got your player look on today!
Great Hat!

Thanks D. May have been the player look, but the heat tapped me out. I like that latte Stetson you had on yesterday. Looked on my monitor like they must have used Blue Mountain coffee to make it.

Thanks,
Michael

Great pics Reggie. Pops looks to be in pretty darn good shape for 95. It appears he’s wearing a Marine tie clasp. Very snappy dressers run in the family i see!

Yes, we should all be so sharp and spry when we hit the 90’s. He was a career marine. Master Gunnery Sargent. WW2 active duty in the Pacific theater and The Korean Conflict and on standby for Vietnam. An extraordinary and humble human being, who just got a new iPhone for his birthday!

Reggie, you wear that so well. Seersucker, spectators, and a Panama boater. Excellent!

Your father-in-law is obviously a man with no small amount of gravitas too.
