Choosing a Pipe to Suit Your Face?

[chasingembers]

heck who wears these hats anymore:

If I had a pith helmet I would likely wear it just to embarrass my daughters.

Yes, definitely. They look like the glasses Kevin Costner wore in JFK.

Not my usual pair though. These are.

OK! 21st C it is. And a lovely lass enhances the look 100 times.

Same here. And that's pretty much what I had in mind when I posted about taking care in looking good without being foppish. I couldn't care less for fashions. I want to have my own 'style' without being a trend-setter. This is also why I ponder about which pipe shape should be my 'signature pipe', the one I'd stick in my mouth when it's time for the 'official' photo.

I don't always wear a suit. Plenty of times I still wear jeans and casual shirts, as you can see below, but they must be properly tucked in, even ironed. As for my personal taste/signature wear, heck who wears these hats anymore?

Is that... a pith helmet?

Outside of costuming, I don't put much thought into what I'm wearing. Jeans and Tony Lamas everyday. When I am costuming every detail matters.

Now that kind of thing I could get into!

I got rid of a few slender pipes as they don't work with my face. I stick to Bulldogs, Billiards, and Rhodesians along with the odd freehand.

Supperthyme : what is a group 4 with a large chamber?
Sounds like an oxymoron, no?

Been thinking that for a while now!

Ah, I meant to imply that I prefer larger than group 4. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Group 4s are considered large?

 

[chasingembers]

Same.

Hm. I've never made a tricorn before but I'm willing to give it a go and send you a 'sample' or two. A pirate should have a good hat, right?

Ha, I've been a pro for years.

But no, I have yet to join the Black Frigate crew. I'll order a few oz in my next shipment.

Absolutely!

Well, you were recently accused of being pithy.

 

[chasingembers]

Well, you were recently accused of being pithy.

HA-HA! You're right, I was!

 

[chasingembers]

Uh-oh, I think I like them.

 

[supperthyme]

Absolutely!

Do you know your hat size? Also- how do we succeed in derailing every thread we post in? Even my own.

 

[chasingembers]

Do you know your hat size?

I'll have to double check and PM you.

Also- how do we succeed in derailing every thread we post in

Because we're either fun or broken. I can never be sure of which.
