There’s a stylish elderly gent who makes my day every time I see him. On the days I take the #14 bus to work, he gets on a few stops after me. He is always immaculately turned out, in a three-piece suit, highly-polished shoes, and well-chosen tie. Over the past few months he has also been topping things off with a white fedora – its hatband carefully coordinated with either the suit or tie he is wearing that day. In a world where most of us dress like schlumps, he really stands out. Unknown stylish elderly gent, I salute you! —Sartorially Yours

I’m all for bringing hats back into fashion, a la Boardwalk Empire, for both guys and dolls:

There is just something that appeals to me about the way people used to dress back in the 30’s and 40’s; the hat being my favourite part. Pure class.
Suit up!
The white fedora with a feather no less! I see this guy on days I am late for work. What a cool dude!
A fedora with a feather in it? That is straight up pimp.
I tell you what…

No, I’m not going to order one off the internet.
It is that magical time of the year again (aka Halloween), so you might be able to find one at one of the many costume shops about town.
I keep checking at the place where one can have adventures of the strange variety.
If I do get one I’ve threatened to wear it all day during the Annual Parade of Unquenchable Despair in November. Maybe Ralmn will stalk me in the shoppe like she did last year. *hint, hint*
if you do find any admiral, get me one, but remember i have a large head
