This is what the clarinetist looked like 30-ish years since:

Is that Jason Schwartzman on the right?

Nice hat. I come from a hat-challenged nation (Canada. Google toque if you dare, you cannot unsee it) but I always wear a broad brimmed hat or a proper Britsh flat cap.

Apparently, nowadays that (or any other hat) is better than wearing this:




As much as the fedora is vilified (I never cared for it), I'd almost rather wear the hat my friend has in public:

The fedora is a beauty. Mine is similar but grey. I also have a beaver felt stetson ...

This expression is because vampires, like myself, hate camera flashes. ;)

Next time, ask for an oil painting. It takes a while longer, but a competent painter can finish it before sunrise, especially in the winter.

Well, when worn with a suit it loses its negative connotation, I suppose...

It is indeed. 
Impractical for some situations like the theatre, as it's big, but for going to work etc its perfect: comfortable, never blows off, warm but breathes, keeps rain and snow off the glasses.

I bought a fedora in December. My specification was something Robert Mitchum would have worn in 1948. That had to be translated to Bogart for the hat store guy  :laugh: But the goal, 90% achieved, was an Out of the Past Mitchum hat.
