A hat fit for a future king
One can hope! Given his fair skin, if he has to jaunt around the Commonwealth and run into Australian and South African summers, he'll be wishing he had! -
The Adventurer's Gear Thread
100% cotton in what appears to be stout material is a good working safari shirt. In the bush they do your laundry daily so you only need three outfits, at most. However, they iron them as a defense against a particularly evil botfly and the irons are heated by charcoal! Light, 'airy'...- Oldsarge

Type of tweed?
I agree. It looks very much like Donegal, especially Donegal of the period. Today's is lighter and softer but still very attractive.- Oldsarge

Pocketwatches
Thanx Shangas, That's just the kind of information I needed. There's a gold chain place a mile or so from the house. As soon as the watch arrives I'll take it and the fob down and go shopping.- Oldsarge

What's for Dinner?
CIA recipe New England Clam Chowder with a green salad (if I feel ambitious enough) and biscuits. Hmmm, better go put a bottle of Riesling in the fridge.- Oldsarge

Pocketwatches
My great-grandfather's railroad watch has been cleaned and refurbished by Renaissance Watch Repair and should be in the mail. I await its return . . . trembling with anticipation. I have a cut Canadian coin showing a steam locomotive for a fob and, once the watch arrives, will set out in...- Oldsarge

Is it a bad idea to wear a double-breasted suit coat as a sport coat?
As I understand it, the original idea behind the odd jacket/sport coat was that a man's trousers had worn out but his coat was still serviceable so he went to his tailor and had another set of trousers made. And if the tailor didn't have any more of the original cloth left, the customer ended... -

Hammer guns and sliding breech guns? You, sir, are obviously a gentleman of good (but slightly eccentric) taste! Well done, that man.- Oldsarge

Show us your Guns!
Renault, I had a similar M46 and did the same thing to it. Turned the old potato flinger into a pocket rocket! The only difference was that it has a rounded pistol grip. And as jk said, it pointed like a double gun. However, I already had three other large caliber rifles and didn't really...- Oldsarge

Stetson and Facebook
Yes, by all means, the Whippet. And make it with the proper lining and properly trademarked box! -
New guy needs advice (you probably get that a lot)
You might want to add the Fed IV by Akubra to your list of possibilities. It comes in both colors you're thinking about. -

That's very strange. Possibly because of my obsessive posting on any and all subjects I must have moved up the roster really fast. I don't recall ever having any trouble posting pictures.- Oldsarge

I Like This Hat, But How Do You Just Start Wearing a Hat...
Absolutely. You may get some odd looks at first from your friends but after a week the hat will become part of their image of you and no one will pay any attention. With luck, another guy or two will use you as a model and start down the route chapeau as well.
