I am wearing the brown bowler for the first time this fall. And while it was not planned not being an OSU fan, I am still wearing Ohio State colors with the red corduroy trousers, the red bow tie and the scarlett and grey stripes on the white shirt. I also have on a brown herringbone waist coat. The shoes are new, they are a vintage blue Florsheim derbies that I finally decided to pull the trigger on and buy.. I have been looking at these at the Goodwill for two months and I just was not sure about buying a blue shoe but they were nice so I finally bought them.
