cbenjamin: I also need a better peacoat… *sigh*  What I really need is a bigger paycheck.  Pants are too long, tie knot’s too big, but besides that, this is a fantastic look.  Winter color!  Hats!  Duck shoes!

Another real man dressed well today.  This time it’s Alan, from “the heart of America,” wearing a summer hat by Vintage Silhouettes.  People often write asking how to wear a hat without looking like a goofus.  Alan’s demonstrating it here.  You have to start by wearing a high-quality hat (tough to find these days).  It should suit your head.  Most importantly: it should be functional. Here, Alan’s keeping the hot summer sun off of his head, something anyone can relate to.  In winter, he might wear a felt hat to keep the rain and wind away.  Wearing a hat when it’s functional is the easiest way I know to wear a hat without looking like a cosplayer.

Here’s a classic baseball cap I’d like to wear.  Fidel Castro pitches an exhibition game for “Los Barbudos,” in 1959, shortly after he came to power.  The team was named after the nickname of his Cuban revolutionary group, meaning “the bearded ones.”  Fidel was never much of a ballplayer, but he’s always been a lover of baseball. More about Fidel’s brief baseball “career” on Mop Up Duty. (via Kottke)
