Boy Scot, you've really been adding to the wardrobe lately, which would not be complete without at least one Open Road. The great thing about the Open Road is you can wear it with just about everything. I've seen guys in vintage pics wearing them in everything from blue blazers to white suits. I'm glad you got one, it fits you well.

Thanks!

Thanks very much everyone for your supreme kindness. :)

Mojave - you don't mind if I print your extraordinary compliment and keep it in my wallet?
This hat is a regular old C-crown, as it came to me. I like it!
The belt is a Nakona (sp). I got it from the local western wear store.

Wow - Scott, you nailed that look. Sharp as sharp can be! How about the jacket, pants, and such? Details?

Another image for my "aim for this" folder. :)

Than you for your great kindness, Atomic Glee!

The pants are, I believe, early 40's gabs. The jacket is a Prince of Whales from Hart, Schaffner & Marx, and the shirt's a Paul Frederick French cuff. Necktie is vintage.

Yep, very vintage pose. I have a similar one of my great uncle John. That was the way to give it an identity all its own.
I think I have a Pendleton jacket in a very similar pattern. So I have to say its a greathat and jacket too. ;)

Regards,

J
