I'm sort of reliving my days as a pimp so I just wear this. I can't find a good blinged out pipe (and no, I don't want one of those metal flake things) so I just smoke with whatever pipe I grab.

Just spent some time at antique store yesterday and bought an old Stetson 10 gallon hat..Lady owner said to me to put it on and I did and she said hat looks great on me...She had some pipes on the desk for sale and I had to sit in front of her on the other side of the desk and I put one in my mouth which I decided to buy and she said it looks great with that hat....so I guess Pipes and fashion goes together sometimes...But most of times I do not care what anybody thinks about my pipes
I can relate, my cat does care either. Come to think of it neither does my dog. My wife on the other hand.....
I totally approve of the Harris Twead jackets. I think they look great with a pipe. I am old fashioned in that way. I used to be a cloths whore and am still like it the few times I go out. I normally wear all silk shirt's, silk shorts and silk pants if I have to wear pants which is rarely.
I am also a shoe whore. I have my Mazlan's and a pair of Tommy Bahama leather shoes in black. Hell when I was playing tennis or golf I had my Tommy Bahama silk blend golf shirts. I was all Adidas in my tennis clothing. We have an out let store not far so good deals are to be had for Adidas clothes. All my Adidas cloths were either all black or all white.
My tennis sneakers were all Adidas as they fit my wide foot better than any other brand. I am a Nike hater. I played only on clay courts so you had to have the right shoes and the right pattern on the soles of your feet.

The idea of "how a pipe looks on me" is alien. It's like a carpenter buying a hammer based on how it looks in his hand. I also don't care what people think of my looks. I have a girl who thinks I look great.
Now...you put me in a room with some really nice, old fashioned flannels? Like Woolrich flannels that are thick and warm? Yeah. That's my fashion statement right there.
I wear either $10 Walmart junk shoes or $300 Redwing work boots. Neither for fashion, of course, but practicality. It's the same with pipes.

Disclaimer: I don't actually think that we should be self conscious of what I'm about to say. This is a disgustingly narcissistic age and I don't mean to fuel that fire.
But, I have noticed something aesthetically fitting about bowl shape mirroring head shape.
Guys with longer faces (oval or rectangular) look best clenching billiard type bowls, or taller dublins.
Guys with round faces might look best with apple-ish/author type bowls.
Guys with square heads might look best with bulldogs/rhodesians.
However, I have a longer face type but happen to love apples and bulldogs. I don't think they complement my face and I don't (usually) care.
