I'm a hat guy. The fire destroyed my entire fedora collection and I've since picked up a couple of old school lids ala Bogey. I've had people look at me and tell me they look good on me.
One guy a couple of decades younger than me saw me a couple of months ago and said, "That hat looks great on you. I like the look and wish I could pull it off."
Many moons ago in Kodiak I had someone tell me that I'd look my best in 1940s era full cut clothes. The few outfits I have worn in that style have had people compliment me.
When I arrived in Kodiak I was wearing a western hat. It got lost there and never replaced. Forty years later I replaced it today.
I'm an American and believe that all Americans should have at least one western outfit in the closet. I've had one for years and rarely wear it, boots jeans, western cut shirt. Never had the hat until today.
Someone asked me why I even have a western outfit to begin with.
"What if I had to go to Europe?" I answered, leaving him confused.
Protip. Don't land in France in a western outfit. It drives Customs ape $hit and the go rooting through everything you have looking for your six-gun and afraid you came to Paris to stampede a herd of cattle down Champs Ulysses.
