Here's Dante in a transitional hat and tie which he wore in the Spring of 2015.
The plaid wool-blend flatcap and tie are good for this weather which can vacillate
between warm and cold.
His friend the messenger pigeon had a message for Dante:
"I approves of yoor colour choices!" asserts the pigeon.
"After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, n'est-ce-PAW?"
"At least I'M not pigeon-toed." replied Dante.
