Major Sir Wilfred Patrick Thesiger, CBE, DSO, FRAS, FRGS, (3 June 1910 - 24 August 2003) was a British explorer and travel writer. As you can clearly see, he really knew how to dress. A true Englishman.
Everyone here knows more about hats than I do, but I do watch a lot of old movies and have always thought Pat O'Brien knew how to wear a hat with confidence and comfort.I don't recall whether I'd posted him before...Robert E Howard, wearing a hat as though he were born with it.

"Chalky White" was an outstanding character on "Boardwalk Empire." His dress was over the top at times, but he pulled it off within the context of the show. Talented as heck actor.
Thank you , much appreciated. Very kind.Unfortunately, no picture. Well there's this...

For @EclecticSr. who turns into another decade of good health today.
Je ne connais pas cette homme. It could be someone familiar, but at that angle, the face is hard for me to identify. Writer? Diplomat? Actor? Politician? Just another rich fellow? Maybe you can enlighten me, Sarge.
For some reason I find the hat doesn't quite work - possibly proportions wrong for his face. But when I compare it with the REHoward pic, the hat just doesn't seem quite as natural on him.
I have always LOVED this man and his gorgeous voice. What a wonderful, talented human being!Nat King Cole

I've come to really enjoy his segments on TCM. Noir Alley is a gem.
