The Long Riders is one of my favorite movies. The soundtrack is great, too.
It has one of my favorite quotes in a movie….
The scene is David Carradine's prostitute girlfriend asking him why he never takes her to dances like the other boys do with their girlfriends. His reply…
"Because you are a hoo-er." (as in whore)
Hilarious.

May I ask who made the shirt in your first picture Delectans? I like that! - the hat is obviously delicious.

HE, there are a lot of great lines in that movie. I like the scene where one of the Miller boys (Randy Quaid) threatens to shoot the piano player's hands if they don't play "I'm a Good Ole' Rebel"!
Nice pics, Al, I wouldn't mess with you with that fencing foil in your hand!

Thank you, gentlemen. The Sportaire has always been one of my favorites of all the VS styles.
Alan: Thanks, my friend.
Mike: Thank you for your kind comment. The shirt is made by Arc'teryx, and is called the Envoy SS (short sleeve). Unfortunately, the shirt has been discontinued, but you can still find them in limited colors and sizes on Ebay. They are great shirts!
Perry: My humble thanks, kind Sir, and I know you really meant to say Epee rather than Foil lol :fencing:

Thank You! - I'll try to find one before they become extinct.... 
- would you say the fit was true, small or large?

Here's a Panama I bought last year from JJ Hat Center in NYC. Company name is Monterrey. I like it, but doesn't breathe as well as I'd like. Al's Optimo Monti is intriguing me though.
Also, doesn't show to well with a white tee shirt, but does look better when I'm wearing a tan, brown or green shirt or jacket.

Borsalino Lido. I have not worn it outside yet - way too warm - but fall is coming!

It was my pleasure! Arc'teryx clothing generally run true to size, or sometimes slightly smaller than indicated. I would say that the Envoy shirts are true to size, but they are athletically cut.
Cheers,
AL
Bravo, Alan! A ravishingly beautiful Montecristi!

Alan, very nice. I don't imagine myself looking too good in the optimo style, but you wear it very well indeed.
Nice cool 62 degrees here today. Pecan Tumwater working nicely

Thanks Al.
I don't know why, but the pic was not available, but is up now. Besides being a newbie here, I am not techy either.

Thanks again, I'm cool with 'athletic' cut as long as we start with a 46"chest!. The largest on EBay right now is a 'Large', I'll place a search for an XL and see what happens - great looking 'modern explorer' style shirt.

Al, enlighten me, I am familiar with both terms, but obviously there is a some difference with use, etc.
Still wearing it at 10:53PM ...?!
I'm picturing you walking about the house in your slippers and robe with a glass of milk. Then, brushing your teeth and getting int to bed with a good book. All the while in high style. I just hope you took it off when you actually put out the light and went to sleep!
