This is moving from "tasteful" to "swashbuckling" but hey, it's Orson Welles!!
EDIT: Great example, LocktownDog. Probably the best we'll find.
Hi StanleyNot a bad look for an old fat man lol.
Can anyone tell me what kind of hat that is? I don't know what it is but it isn't a fedora. I would get one like that if I thought it would look half as good on me.
Some hats go well with a beard. The fedora is not one of them.
It is true that we bearded folk have no Golden Era model to point to, neither Gable nor Bogart nor Stewart. In a 1937 novel, the authors had Ellery Queen, the author-detective, pop up in Hollywood with a beard; but generally, men back then, as someone here pointed out, in movies, novels, and real life, were clean-shaven, or sported only the mustache.
It's just a hat. Unless you're in costume, it's just another part of your wardrobe and should be treated as such.
Wear the hat- don't let the hat wear you.
