The multitude of options and styles is a bit overwhelming. I have several hats that I wear often. The one in the photo is styled from the 1860's. The pistol is an 1905 Harper's Ferry flintlock. I hope the pistol does not offend anyone. The hat I am wearing in the attached photo is the hot I wear most often.
Thank you for your many suggestions. As a short man, I think a shorter crown and not a wide brim would be better, right?
It is an 1805 Harpers Ferry and should not offend anyone. I have a rack of flintlocks and love shooting them; building replicas of them; and making powderhorns for them.
But just so you won't feel like the only guy with a gun...
Custom Lancaster flintlock longrifle correct for about the same time period.
As to your hat, study your look and try to get the pieces to blend a bit. After that boldly wearing it is the key. Looks like your avatar nails the idea already.
