I think we basically agree - The distinctions between 'Town' and 'Country' were definitely more about climate, social setting, time of day and frame of mind than anything geographical, but generally use of 'City' rather than 'Town' had a narrower reference.
I recall a similar passage over a white Tuxedo.
Jeeves definitely represented more conservative opinions on dress with Wooster very much a man of fashion. The 20's and 30's saw the young aristocracy very much rebelling against the social conventions of their parents, and Victorian values...
Thanks - I've noticed on a few photos my hats look smaller on screen than in life - does anyone have any tips for minimizing distortion?

g.d. - very sharp

:rolleyes: :D
BR - nice boater. They're made by Olney and I had a similar issue - not exactly over-sized, but because you wear them so high up compared to a felt they do come up large, and of course they don't conform to the head in the same way a soft hat will.
Steve - proportions look good.
David - Ribbon looks great with the black raybans and polo.
Robert - great boater, and a perfect ribbon for the shirt.
AL - more great photos and a great hat
Sam - Looking good
Joao - a very nice beater!
Perry - Next time I think we deserve the mask too :D - Looking good.
Alan - Beautiful...
Thanks for the comments on the 'burg.
-----------------------------------------------
Joao - Stetson looks good. Hope you're sleeping better.
Bowlerman - the cbor looks good with that crease.
Alan - a great hat to sit under and contemplate. I decided long ago to stick to courses that...
Warm but breezy today.
Wegener Homburg:
It's a tad formal looking for going jacket-less (I think the grey oddly looks more formal than a plain black homburg)...
Robert - Nice pugaree
Sam - Looks good - nice ribbon proportion
Alan - great fun. 50's?
HamilcarBarca - looks sharp - any shots of the bash from the top?
-------------------------------
Thanks for the comments on the Rehfus - I didn't reallt need another brown stingy, but the price was too...
Glued - I'd have guessed at much more recent than '63.
One feature I've not seen on a hat before is the way the top of the ribbon is tacked - the long stitches are on the outside.
