Putting it all together

[MKL]

WR, is the Stetson a Whippet by chance? Got a pic of it?

That top hat of yours ain't bad either!

Thanks.

My top hat? Thanks! It's kind of hard to "Top" a Top Hat!

The stetson is a Royal Stetson! Here is a photo of me wearing it. Not the best photo, but it will do for now.

Small stripes in the shirt working in concert with big stripes in the tie (if the stripes were the same scale they would be fighting for attention).
The plaid jacket works with the tie because they are two different patterns of the same scale.

Also have an Olive green Stetson with the same colored ribbon and bound edge! Love those color combos!
WR.

Hey Mr. Root- I'd like to see some nice pics of your 'Olive' hat.
Like to very much indeed- yessiree...

You already have. It's the one I have on it the photo of me with my car there.

WR.

 

[BellyTank]

Well sor-ree!
I thought the one in that pic may have been the 'dark brown Dobbs that has a dark orange ribbon and a matching bound edge'- it's difficult to see what it is in that pic. Now- the hat please, not the model...

WR, I don't know which I would like to have - the hat or the car. Ok, both.

I once had a '50 Plymouth Deluxe - 2 door coupe. Nice driving. Wifey loved it.

BT, I know it's hard to tell the color in that photo but, that's the Olive Stetson. I'll have to take a few photos of it soon. :cheers1:

MKL, you had a 1950 Plymouth? How cool is that! Plymouths are good cars! I love my 46 very much. I'd sure like to see a photo of it some time. PM me if you want to chat about MoPar's.

You leave my fax machine out of this!

 

[Wild Root]

HAHAHAHAHHAHA! PERFECT!

Mr. Deckard,

Is that a vintage tie you're wearing? Have I seen that one in person? oh and Rob... those shoes in your pic are incredible... it's times like these when (since we're the same size) it's a good thing that you live two hours away and gas is expensive, but keep one eye open tonight.

 

[Matt Deckard]

Tie is vintage.
Shirt is modern with a tab collar.
Jacket is the old standby brown plaid that is in most of my pics.
Trousers are heavy, tweed and vintage.

 

[Mr. Rover]

What kind of knot do you make with your tab collar? four-in-hand or half-windsor?

 

[Matt Deckard]

Four in hand

 

[MKL]

For anyone interested here is how you would tie a four in hand:

One of my more whimsical looks.

 

[Mr. Rover]

I like the tie, Matt, but I think there are a few too many shades of brown/khaki. It's just a little too much to my eye.

I like yours (Matt) better than the guy with the blue shirt. Too much of a contrast it appears mismatched and too contrived but then again he can dress how he wants as long as I don't have to wear it. I never mix blue and brown. :cheers1:

Regards to all,
