Another important thing to remember is that photos don't always tell the true story. Often i-gents and others can look like goons in photos because they are still and don't know how to smile,ie, a hat might suit them in real life, but in photos they look sterile and awkward. You can only really judge how a person pulls off hats by seeing them in real life. Same goes with clothing fits....often clothing photographs terribly, but in real life the clothes look great.
That hat should not suit Boss Hogg (above) because it breaks all the rules,ie, a short fat guy with a broad brimmed hat, but it works for him. Life is about characters and personalities, and plenty of Boss Hogg type of men are out there. A lot of Fedora Lounge men with big builds and big broad faces pull off the fedoras too - proper blokes, real men of the south. But those little skinny runty kids that wear them...awkk, the hats don't suit (soot) their skinny faces.
Tibor probably could pull off a hat, but it needs to be smaller, and he needs to have an o.k personality to pull it off.

Montecristis can be like watch habits, it can be a very expensive habit....can be far more expensive than top bespoke suits, can cost far more than a car, and can even cost as much as some houses - just for a straw hat.
