What are you wearing today??

[JessieJames]

Just got this lovely vintage 1930s Stetson in the mail yesterday, got it off Alan. Almost flat (which is my preference for a 3" brim) but it's got a subtle curve up and I'm going to leave it as is for now because I'm kind of digging it.

I'm in love already. A tad tight but I think once it shapes to my head we'll be in business.

Michael, how do you find the donegal tweed in terms of durability? Some say that the pants wear out quickly.

Everything looks small beside me (6'-6" and 315 lbs).

I'm not seeing any wear on these, Peter. I can't say anything about it's wear history, but I'm pretty sure it dates to the early 50s and no wear is evident. I was worried it would be snag prone as it's loosely woven and the yarns are very low twist, but, knock on wood, it hasn't happened yet. I might shy away from wearing it on my bicycle, much as I would like to, in fear of shining the pants seat. As it is, I expect it to outlast me.

I posted this in the Gannon thread since I just got my Gannon bespoke hat this week.

Yesterday, I picked up this sweater vest at a thrift store for three bucks, and the weather has been accommodating.

Today a vintage tie and hat from the same decade (1940's) were paired.

Best, Eric -

Wearing my Aussie Chiller for yard work day, LOL. They’re great for yard work or golf on a hot day, just get them wet and they stay cool for hours....

This is kind of cheating because I wore this back in November when I was in the desert in Morocco. It is my Gannon hat, it fit the outfit and the setting so well and everyone loved it.

Wow. I love the cape. Don't see many of those, these days.

True that. I can pretty much be guaranteed not to run into somebody wearing the same thing when I go out in the cape. Ha ha.

Thanks,
Michael

Vintage Stetson and double breasted sport coat with Burberry scarf, it's my Virginian cold take on the 1940's. I think it kinda looks like the pictures of my grandpa from when he was my age back in the later 40's. let me know what y'all think!

I think you nailed it.
