And no doubt it looked as good on you as any of your hats. Did you know Brummell's trademark dark tailored coat, was always topped with a crisp, immaculately-starched cravat. Brummell spent hours dressing each day, and gave the cravat his special attention. Once, a visitor observed piles of twisted cloth on the floor of Brummell's dressing room. Asking what they were, Brummell's valet wearily observed, "Those, sir, are our failures".
Didn't they "appear" on the TV cartoon THE FLINTSTONES as "The Beau Brummelstones?"
In my experience, no. But it all seems to depend on the individual(s) reacting to what I'm/you're/we're wearing and their tastes. I've received favorable comments that are usually followed by something to the effect of "My dad/uncle/grandfather used to wear hats like yours", so those people were associating my hat(s) not with individual taste or fashion but with fond memories of a loved one.
In my experience, no. But it all seems to depend on the indiv I didn't think they looked bad, but because my father-in-law wore them my wife immediately remarked, "You look like Dad." Not necessarily a bad thing, but she never liked the style even on him so they were immediately returned to the rack.
GHT, i always love your posts and your style. You truly live the look!
You flatter me, but I love it, thank you. I must post a better picture of Tina's hat. Originally it was a gents hat that had seen better days, but she waved a wand over it and breathed new life into it.
