I really like this hat, but what would go with it?

I'd hate to buy the hat and then never be able to wear it because I just don't have an outfit that works for it.

Just wear your everyday coachmens coat trousers and boots.

That lovely hat would look good on a clown. A regular human being with a hat like that on would be percieved as a clown. Good luck with that look.

I love that hat and disagree with Al's statement.
There is nothing about it that says 'clown' to me.

If you feel like a clown with this hat, people will perceive you as a clown. If you feel confident as a mysterious man and all your clothes are elegant with a little touch of originality, then people will perceive you as a man of mystery. Mental self-perception influences a lot how others perceive us.

Maybe add steampunk feel to it if you add googles and geared it up.

That is an awesome hat. Go for it if you haven't already!

I would love to see how you accessorize with that hat. Please post a picture of your final costume and prove me wrong.

As your self what would YOUR character wear for a hat. Don't buy a hat because it looks cool. it would not look cool on everyone. this is a coachman's hat. Very familiar to those around here that are in Horse country.
