    locations of good hat stores?

    I'm going to DC this week and part of my Xmas pressie from my wife is a new hat. What stores are in the area? I know about the one in Alexandria but might not be able to get there when it's open. Any in DC proper? I want a navy fedora, or maybe a nice gray one.

    Business Casual Clothing?

    Cordovan or oxblood is the color you want when wearing tan/khaki/taupe pants and navy blazer or navy pants and camel blazer. Brown in a pinch. Black shoes should not be worn with brown pants. It is permissible to wear brown shoes with navy or gray pants and suits, but I find it to be garish...

    How to Wear White Bucks?

    Well, it's nearly six months later and I finally decided to go for it. Mostly it was because finally I have the money and they were on sale. I'm going to a conference in early June and a wedding three weeks later and I'll wear them with my tan/white stripe seersucker suit and Panama hat...

    How to Wear White Bucks?

    Aside from the usual seersucker suit, how does one wear white (or other light tone) buckskin shoes? I don't see them worn much, but I've always kind of admired them for informal summer wear. Any outfit ideas?

    What are you wearing today??

    This isn't so much what I am wearing as it is what I want to wear this evening... I am going to dinner with my wife and in-laws at a restaurant that is casual, but still one of the nicer places in town, and I'm meeting someone new (wife's brother's girlfriend's mother). I want to wear jeans...

    Suit Worn by Chris Pine in Wonder Woman

    My wife and I finally made it to see Wonder Woman this weekend. Chris Pine, in a scene where he is talking to the British war leadership in London, wears a three piece, three button suit. I must have it. It looks like a blue-grey (slate?). Peak lapels. He wore it with a dark navy fedora...

    I live in the southeastern US. How far up and down can I dress my Panama? If I were in white or black tie, I would likely go with a top hat or Homburg, respectively. But I can wear a Panama with a business suit in most situations, right? What about with a suit for an outdoor wedding in the...

    Stafford JC Penney Brand ?

    I've bought suits from Penney's before, but not Stafford. I'll try one on next time I'm in the area. But I have worn their ties, about six or seven years ago, and I utterly hated them. They were too flimsy, and the silk outer layer was not fused to the inner stiffener, such that once tied...

    What are you wearing today??

    For the noon ashing service, it was cassock, surplice, and tippet. For the evening ashing and Eucharist, it's cassock, alb, and purple chasuble. For street wear it is grey trousers, grey clergy shirt, navy blazer with a daffodil (St. David's Day!), and my grey fedora. I've gotten four...

    What to wear with a fedora....

    Me in my new navy pork pie. I'm sorry the image is huge; I can't figure out how to do just a thumbnail.

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I've gotten a mixed bag, mostly good. The good has all been things like, "I love your hat!" and "Where is your hat today?" I haven't gotten anything on my new navy pork pie yet, but give it time. I've only recently (as in since Easter 2015) been wearing hats regularly, but as I'm already the...

    What to wear with a fedora....

    If you're referring to me, I've been busy since the day before yesterday. If you're referring to T Rick, I have no idea. Thank you everyone who answered my question about the navy hat and my confusion over the confident wearing of it. I'm going to get it, because I think it looks good and...

    What to wear with a fedora....

    I'm sorry; I don't mean to be hard-headed or rude, but I don't understand what this means. I keep seeing it all over the web ("Gotta wear the hat, or it will wear you"), but what does it mean? Taken literally, I suppose it means I shouldn't borrow someone else's hat and then just carry it in...

    What to wear with a fedora....

    I came across a navy pork pie hat the other day that caught my fancy and now I just cannot leave it alone. But I don't know for sure what I'd wear it with. Here are a couple ideas, and I'd like your opinion: A navy/tan tweed sport coat with tan/taupe/khaki or olive wool pants A grey...

    Thank you! I have grey and brown fedoras; the brown one will be replaced soon because it's rather ugly. I'll look for the color you suggested. You say there are other colors that might work? What about olive?

    Please let me know if I need to open a thread just for this: What color hat (Fedora or pork pie) would I wear with a navy blazer and tan/khaki/taupe pants?
