Pipe as a Fashion Accessory?

Paul Kinsey is the primary pipe smoker at fictional ad agency Sterling Cooper in "Mad Men" With the exposure of pipes in retro-television shows like “Mad Men” and the current increase in pipe smokers, some wise-guy on Puff.com

Mister Moo suggested:

Tux = nothing in the pockets, please - no pipe
Styled Italian sharkskin suit = Porsche Design
Smooth-finish wool or silk (50% or more) suit, including herringbone = smooth billiard
Smooth finish wool or silk (token content) = any smooth or blasted billiard
Any Tweed sportcoat = bent dublin (smooth) or any rusticated pipe
Jodpurs, cape and/or a deerstalker cap = meer/gourd calabash
Pointer, Oshkosh, Dickie or other major brand bib overalls; soccer shorts and tee shirt = cob, Kaywoodie, Grabow or anything that's a little dinged up

What do you think? Are there certain pipes that you should only/never smoke at certain times/events? Use the comments section below to let us know what YOU think….

Moo nailed it, except he forgot to mention that a tux should have a cigar. Other than that, yeah, spot on. Obviously just do what you want and fuck-all, but for the gentleperson that wants to take the extra step you can't go wrong with this advice. It's more of a color/texture matching than anything else.

Tux calls for a Dunhill dress billiard, sorry but that's almost as important as the bowtie.
