We've bartered for a lovely custom commissioned linen waistcoat and linen trousers, invested in a black frock coat and Robert Land booties. But the hats are confusing. So many seem to be period appropriate. But my husband looks ridiculous in a top hat. Is there another style hat that is okay to wear with a black frock coat? He want's a derby but that seems to go better with a sack suit. He's also interested in a straw 'panama hat'; I think that's okay for summer with a light colored linen frock, but I can't see wearing it with a black frock coat. Do you know if they wore derbys with frocks or panama hats with black coats?<br /><br />I know plenty about the women's wear but the men's wear nearly completely eludes me!Robin's Egg Bleuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940955157144789351noreply@blogger.com
