My Sexy Suit and Hat

I think this suit will be mine. The color is most likely the color we're looking for. It's harder than it looks to find a "sand" or tan color that does not look brown and does not look yellow.

I also believe it is generally understood that I'm using this occasion as the perfect reason to finally buy the hat I have always wanted. My choice in headgear has made many an old man look at me twice while they wonder if I stole their hat or not.

To reinforce the idea that, yes, I would like to look my head lives in the '50s I will be wearing a hat (color matched to the suit, of course) similar to the ones below.

I introduce you to the classic "Bogey" that you may recognize from just about any old movie and to a hat very near-and-dear to me, the Fedora.
Then again, it would feel wrong to wear a tan Fedora. What about a different route?

At least Belloq knew how to look good in the desert.
