welcome to the Lounge! nicer hat than I first thought...try it with a
nice Black Turtleneck, dress it up a bit. You're lucky, have a handsome
face, will be able to get away with a lot of things we can't...try a bit
wider brim and more neutral color if possible, it'll give you a "blank canvas"
to work with- an Open Road, or the Featherweight photographed are perfect examples of what I mean. my 2 cents. welcome & good luck!

I like it. I don't care for how stingy brims look on my round face (they make me look like I should be wearing lederhosen and advertising soup) but you've got a longer, more angular face that I think it looks good with.

My college roommate had a tweed hat in largely the same shape, he was tall and thin and angular and I rather liked the way the hat looked on him. It belonged to his grandfather. I often wonder if he still has it.

I've always called the tweed versions "Irish Walkers" but I'm not sure if that's correct or even where I got the term.
