Sorry for the delay in response: Actually, Peters Bros offers their Indy Straws in several different color options--including: NATURAL STRAW, BLEACH, WHITE, BLACK, INDY BROWN (mine), DARK BROWN, LODEN GREEN AND SILVER GRAY. http://www.pbhats.com/private/MILAN%20STRAW/Default.htm These are...

Had a few new photos of my Indy hats to share. Here's my Adventurebilt Crystal Skull after 3 years, 3 seasons of archaeological excavations, and one re-blocking (to the shorter style of the "quicksand" and jungle scenes): My Penman Gray Crystal Skull fedora (from the train station...

Edward, that is a great looking tie! I haven't posted for a while, but I really need to spend more time looking at all the sharp ties in this thread. I've only got about a dozen bow ties so far, and have enjoyed wearing them when teaching, to weddings, or to church. Here's one of my Dead...

Wow--such fantastic collections! :eusa_clap Best wishes, NS

I heard of someone who tried to do something similar with his G&B Expedition involving a jeep and a gravel road, but hardly noticed any scuffs. Sorry to hear about the scratch on your jacket. A lot of people seem to have the opposite problem with G&B goatskins--that they won't scuff fast enough.

BTW, here's a link to photos of the granite-colored felt hat that I'll be getting. You can see from the background how this gray (which obviously will go with navy) goes just fine with brown, too. https://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=90471&id=94550378449 As you can see from my avatar, I'm...

Once I get a decent working camera again, I'll see about posting photos of one of my "Community Rule" bow ties from the Dead Sea Scrolls Foundation. The couple of photos I have from my phone just don't have good enough resolution to see the writing. best wishes, NS

I still have a pair of Tony Lama boots from about 15 years ago--one of the better pairs of boots I could find in our small Nebraskan town. I got them re-soled several years back. While I don't get much use out of them here in California, I still bring 'em back to my folks' farm on occasion.

Perhaps a gray felt called "granite" might work? I'd describe it as a light-medium gray, but with brown undertones instead of gray. Penman Hats and Adventurebilt have it, and perhaps other hatters have a similar felt color. I've seen it go well with brown leather jackets and with navy suit...

Also an excellent ensemble! :eusa_clap

Excellent ties--I particularly like the ensemble of tie, fedora, and trench coat in the second photo! :eusa_clap BTW, what kind of fedora is that? Looks great!

Very sharp looking tie--it goes well with the suit. Your hat suits your ensemble, too. :eusa_clap

That is a sharp looking hat. :eusa_clap

Excellent looking jacket!
