I like this coat and top hat, for the drinking in Paris.
A place for all Bastards to drink:

And the lovely thing about Paris is that you can wear what some think is called "Trad" here & be hip.
Cropped hair.
Brooks BD.
White T.
Chinos.
Pea Coat.
Cordo Loafers (But not that tacky, glossy Alden stuff).
You know.
Sadly the smoking ban is now being respected & enforced & the Tabac is a bit of a wasteland.
One never really went there for the food in the past and so now that one cannot smoke why go there?
Old time's sake?
Better to go to a Bar or Cafe instead. Shame.
Litter on the street is up with all the extra ciggy butts out there too.
