What Hat Are You Wearing Today?

Great look, sir. The UN needs some class!

It certainly conformed with the diversity idea one of the speakers in that conference stressed

Thanks! Yes Bowlers tend to turn heads. On my last trip I didn't see any hat wearers in Geneve but was suprised by amount I saw in Zürich (and not the typical low end stuff).

True, Steve! Next to some bb-caps there was only one other hat, that I spotted. Actually, there was a nice hat shop in the old town. Mainly stocking female hat gear, but also male things. I walked by on Sunday and did not have a chance to come back the next days.

Fewer there than in the Eastern U.S., I gather. You do see hats here, although outback hats with suits have dominated in years past. More and more good ones; I spot a few vintage ones here in the Washington area.

DC loungers?

Cool and cloudy today in Pasadena, and I had a client visiting so it was a suit with the VS Dingus. Left my machine gun in the hall.

I did miss that Dingus! Hello, again!

As I mentioned I was surprised by the number of quality (yes I know) modern production hats I saw in Zürich. There is a vintage vibe going there too. Geneve didn't have the same feel.

I was thinking of visiting that place too. I found a nice hat shop with tiny museum in Bern.

I spend most of my leasure time in crusty Baltimore.

I guess Germany is more of a fashion leader. I don't follow fashion, and know little about Europe, but for example the Beatles came back from Germany with long hair in the early 1960s, and that dominated world styles for quite a while. So I have some hefty admiration for "stylin" in Germany.

There is definitely a vintage vibe / feel in Zürich.

Work days are all burgundy polos and khakis, so when I get a day off to unwind, it's... a new Haggar suit and a Stetson Nolton:
