The 'Douglas' contest

[Lefty]

Let's not forget the slanted brim look. Here are a couple of photos from this old thread of others, both new and old, rocking it like they own it.

Let's not forget the slanted brim look.

A nice touch but not, as shown by the Douglas, a requirement.

However, sartorial balance ala the Douglas is important.

 

[Lefty]

It's not a requirement, but I think that extra points can be awarded for making the more difficult looks work.

Matt, that is a perfect impersonation of Douglas except for one small detail. Douglas always shoots the picture with his left hand, not the right.lol

A few more for reference and yes I take both left and right side pics.

He looks just like the Douglas!

The resemblance is uncanny! Note the subtle narrowing of the eyes, the set of his mouth, and,most especially, the sartorial excellence.

Not to mention

The consistency through all manner of variations of facial hair.

When I read the old post that's quoted below, I thought of this thread.

"Your hat, by its quality and individuality; poise and pitch; angle and droop can be made to take on as many varying moods as the face underneath. A hat may look aristocratic or vulgar; serious or humorous; gloomy or cheerful; dignified or flippant; radical or conservative; rakish or righteous; fresh or wilted; alive or dead. Your hat is YOU. It commends or condemns you. It bestows character or becomes a caricature. Hence, it should not be selected at random, but chosen with care, to be a reflection of the wearer's taste, position and personality. Thus, really a fine hat is not just a disbursement to cover the head, but an investment in individuality, self-respect and the respect of others"
