Where'd you get that suit?

Once I figure out what kind of hat is the best fit for my face and skin tone and all that fun stuff I'm really gonna be tempted to get me a Gannon!

Hi! Welcome aboard! "What hat should I buy?" is really down to personal preference, but some basics such as how much you want to spend and what kind of clothes you'd likely pair your hat with might not hurt to start with. I'm not sure if this is even a thing (and if it is I am going to follow...

Oh man, pleeeeaaaase don't say "eye-popping" in a thread about Un Chien Andalou! :P

I have a new Whippet that I am very pleased with, and I guess that's all that matters re: the vintage/modern Whippet debate. I wonder if shows like Boardwalk Empire and all the great period movies coming out these days will get more men back into wearing hats? I started off as a 60s stingy...

There's also a fairly famous photograph of Jack Kennedy at Griffith Stadium in 1961. He and his presidential entourage are watching the flight of a foul ball and Jack looks a little nervous. He is also wearing a hat! http://www.nytstore.com/ProdDetail.aspx?prodId=2648
