The men's dress style thread..

On the subject of perfumery, I think the majority of scents are only really suitable for winter evening social events.

One scent I will wear daily is Aqua di Parma Colonia which smells very fresh, and is practically just a skin scent after 1 hour. It's only noticeable to people who are otherwise close enough to smell my coffee breath.

To impress the sheep.

Not to impress but to keep there rear legs warm.

Do any of you own a homburg hat, or have owned one in the past? They say they are quite formal.
I've spotted two. One's expensive, the other isn't so, compared to some.

They say that Al Pacino wore a homburg in The Godfather. Mmm, to me it looks more of a fedora hat due to the brim of the hat not being upturned at the edge.🤔

That looks more like a homburg to me, similar to the ones that David Suchet wore as Poirot.

Whatever you choose though just remember one thing, don't try and wear it at a jaunty angle. 😂

As if I would!! Why not though if I did fancy wearing it in such a way?🤔

Objecting to a "jaunty angle" on a gentleman's hat? I give you you one of the coolest men in all history

It's just not dignified old chap, whilst it may be acceptable on the streets of Manhattan an English gentleman would never lower his standards in such a way when strolling the pleasant boulevards of Clitheroe.

Is it the wearing of a homburg at a jaunty angle that you’re objecting to, or hats in general. Nothing says ‘I have no clue about headwear’ than wearing a hat four square on the noggin. Anyway, a fellow’s hat is his own private kingdom.

I wonder what percentage of men (and women for that matter, I love to see women looking classy, not chavvy!) wear homburgs, fedoras, trilbies and bowlers these days.🤔 I don't see any, apart from when I look at my reflection in shop windows. Even tweed flat caps are seen as 'dandyish' these days.

This is supposedly a customer's review photo of the hat below. It doesn't look like the hat in question to me, but... Anyway, how high is that crown!!
