Press Box Attire - College Football

[Azrael]

How many of you guys own a hat other than a baseball cap? Fedora, porkpie, homburg, etc., and wear it to work?

(hand in air)

But I also own LOTS of baseball caps. I'm bald. When I do my daily walk, the sun crushes my head. So I sweat through them quickly.

Minimal. I'll go with a stocking cap in the winter when it's under 20 F and a golf cap only when actually golfing or at the shore.

 

[Azrael]

Winter: stocking cap informally, crushed Borsalino fedora when dressing up. 2 3/4" brim, black.

I've had a closet full of baseball caps since I was about 5, but wear them now less and less.

 

[Azrael]

Big reporting day. Gonna wear the dark grey medium weight Hickey Freeman, I think, and the oxblood wingtips.

 

[Songbird]

 

[Azrael]

That's them.

Key to the whole thing is the matching belt.

 

[Azrael]

Went with the Brooks Brothers two-button in medium weight / medium grey.

Felt like a million bucks.

 

[Azrael]

OK. It's been a month.

Remember, dress for the job you want.

 

[Azrael]

Working tonight at the Golden Gloves.

Charcoal Brooks Brothers; oxblood shell cordovan wingtips; white oxford shirt; rep tie.

I caught a lot of grief at the last college basketball game I covered this year. I paired a somewhat colorful button-down with a blue sport coat and kind mustard-y yellow jeans. It was the pants that caught everyone's attention. But they were just jeans. Most times, I would have worn traditional blue denim, but the mustard pair were what was clean that day.

 

[Azrael]

I'm sure you looked great.

And given our eating habits, mustard yellow pants should be mandatory for sports writers in every press box everywhere.
