"When choosing your belt buckle, feel free to express your personality, but be honest with yourself in regard to your personal dimensions. Gents a dessert or two over 36 inches in the waist should try to avoid larger-scale buckles... there's no need to draw attention to an already prominent area."

« If It Does Not Fit You Must Not Acquit »

In the past few days Chapeau Noir has been critical of two men who wear their golf shirts a couple of sizes too large - Bill Haas and Ernie Els. Since these items were posted it has come to light that Haas wears Peter Millar, and Els Dunning, two brands admired here at CNG.

The lesson we need to take from Haas and Els? Regardless of the brand and its quality, if the shirt does not fit, you will look like sh*t. As an aside, would it not make more sense for Els to wear Millar and Haas to wear Dunning?

Feel free to wear the high-cache brands, but don't fool yourself into thinking you look great in them if they aren't the right size. If your shirt is too large like Ernie or Bill, you will look like you have enough fabric to host a circus. Too small and you will be uncomfortable and unable to swing the club to the best of your ability while revealing a bit too much about your level of fitness.

Wearing an oversized golf shirt may not seem like a grievous offense, and in the grand scale of things, it isn't. However, CNG must call a man to task for this fashion faux pas simply because finding a shirt that fits is not an arduous task.

The next time you see your playing partner show up to the first tee in what amounts to a tarpaulin, do the man a favor by steering him to the appropriate size rack in the golf shop once your round is complete.

CNG thanks you in advance.
