The men's dress style thread..

I don't have a cravat.

I don't have a cravat.

A gentleman without a cravat is like a fish without a bicycle , both are content but neither will ever realise what they missing.

I have two cravats, one purple with small white polka dots and one I'd describe as beige/gold(ish). You can use a silk scarf as a substitute, as you'll know.

Edit..I've just remembered, I have a white paisley one as well, but it's too formal/wedding type to wear with 99% of my clothes.

What is a tie?

I don't have a cravat.

Just realised I do have a cravat tucked away somewhere. Not worn it for years.

 

[Oldhippy]

Only tie I ever had was part of a school uniform and it only got used to tie my hair back.

My Borsalino fedora arrived yesterday.

I discovered during the Covid lockdown that there is watchmakers measurement known as the Ligne, 1 ligne = 2.2558291 mm.

What has this got to do with Accys rather smart Fedora you my ask.

Well the width of hatbands is measured in Ligne, there are 11.26 to the inch.

I bought mine for the price below, on the 24th of December.

Please excuse the muddy shoe marks on the invoice.

Look how much they are now!

Could have had a gentleman's valet AND an eBike and still have change for a few hats; one sold last week for hammer price of £20, £25 after commission. https://www.arthurjohnson.co.uk/cat...-saturday-auctions-21st-january-2023-lot-202/

Nice and a bit different, but not match-able with most things. Having said that, I see 'celebs' and 'rock stars' wearing such hats and the hat doesn't match their outfit. Maybe the idea of such coloured hats is for them to clash with the the rest of the wearer's clothes, so the hat stands out even more.🤔
