Thanks to Martin for inspiring me to pose this question. The question of whether to wear a hat indoors is a common etiquette query that touches on both tradition and modern sensibilities. Traditionally, it is considered proper for men to remove their hats when they go inside. For women, the historical etiquette has been more lenient, as their hats were often seen as part of their attire. However, this typically applies to fashion hats. But, since this RMRS, not RWRS, we'll stick to men. Many people today view hat etiquette as an outdated tradition and believe individuals should have the freedom to wear what they want. However, many others still see it as a sign of respect. Ultimately, deciding whether to follow these customs is a personal choice, but being aware of them can help you navigate different social situations with greater confidence. What say you?

I not very hopeful about this, but I thought I'd ask anyhow. Is anyone familiar with a brand that makes fashionable (looks good with chinos, shirt, tie, and overcoat) winter footwear that could meet the following functional criteria: - Warm for up to an hour at -40C / 40 below F - Water resistant - Salt resistant - Can handle trudging through 16 inches of snow - Extra wide widths - Budget Friendly ~ $100 US / $150 CAD Like I said, I'm not very hopeful. I usually carry my good shoes to work in a bag but, because I take the bus, I'm frequently doing things like shopping, going out to dinner with friends, etc on my way home, so I'm not going to be swapping out of and carrying my outer footwear around in those situations.

As a military staff officer you can expect, sometimes, to have more work than you can handle but not always can you expect to be appreciated. However, my current unit awarded me a Commendation Medal for leadership and other achievements. Grateful for the win! And my OOTD is camouflage so no need for me to post that picture. 😂
