What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Monte]

Heading down into Houston tomorrow for a friends funeral. Had to test fit the suit to make sure I dont have and surprises when I put it on (2nd time in 5-1/2 yrs I put on a suit) Im debating whether to wear a hat due to the heat, but both the black Temple and Black Bogart do look good with it. Of course its a Texas funeral so I guess I could wear one of the nicer Open Roads

Circumstances aside, you look great. I like to wear suits to funerals....not that many do anymore, unfortunately. I wore my taupe suit last time. I wasn't sure about the color at first....ended up being the best dressed guy there, IMHO. This was the suit color:

I agree... Ive already decided not to wear the vest due to heat. Im covered for cooler weather, but sInce my friends are getting older, Im thinking I need to go shopping for a nice lightweight suit. My retirement has reaked havoc on my wardrobe lol

Tina and I are off to the City of Salisbury today. Should I go casual
or more formal? I got changed and put the collar and tie on.

This morning I'm wearing a Stetson Royal DeLuxe St. Regis in Brown complete with windcord. While not the typical crease you see on these I mimicked a really old St. Regis I have ( that has stars in the logo ) that came to me like this.
Hope y'all have a good 'un !

I’m sorry for your loss, Rick.

I’m guessing the one on the bottom is the Bogart... would make a fine choice. Looking very sharp.

Sharp as ever, Robert.

Thank you Joe, much appreciated.

I have to agree with Timmy, sir. You ALWAYS look spendiferous, but I would have opted for the casual look today, given the eye-catching splendor of that aloha shirt.

When I changed out of the collar and tie and put that shirt on it did draw some favourable comments. My favourite comment by far though has to come from the talented lady who made it, who makes most of what I wear, my darling wife, what a treasure she is.
When I showed her the comments here she went all bashful and said: "Aw shucks!"

Today's moss green fedora by Gamble & Gunn tends to look more black than green. I looked up green fedora and none of the resulting photos had a strong image of green. No mistaking the green in the Paisley shirt that my wife made for me, nor the green in the shoes that Colin made.

Sorry for your loss.
As for the outfit, I think most of us here would agree. When in doubt, wear a hat.
