I have to check back with this thread now and then... I'm glad it was on page one today. My Celtic band was playing at an outdoor festival this weekend and I was master of ceremonies all three days. On day one I was wearing a gray tee shirt with my bands logo and blue jeans sitting on equipment next to the stage when a couple can by that I KNEW and said, "OH! We thought you were a Hobo!." A hobo? It was a gray Jaxon Safari but it's definitely a reasonable and new looking hat.Hobo...
Day two and man strikes up a conversation in the bathroom. I am wearing a J. Peterman canvas blazer with a safari looking shirt and the same blue jeans... Fellow says drunkenly "you have a good look like that guy in the movie." I replied "Indiana Jones," to which he replied "Yep, Indiana Jones!!!! Great look!" I then said, of the DP Mesh Breezer I was wearing, "This is the exact hat from the movie, I had it special made." He looked confused and I really don't like talking to drunk strangers in the bathroom so I left.
In celebration of that ridiculous incident I wore my Akruba Adventurer and received no Indiana Jones comments and enjoyed my idiot free day.

I don't get many people who say anything to me. I guess its because Asheville is full of unusual people.
But I have been called 'Elvis' more than once. Which I don't really get. I don't look anything like him.
When I get this I usually say..."So I look like one of the most famous people of all time. A definate ladies man and multimillionaire" "I can live with that!"
That usually shuts them up.

I had another Indiana Jones comment two days ago when I bought a "new" fedora in an antique store in Colorado. It made me cringe a little on the inside. [huh]

A new nickname! Hooray!
I've always wanted a nickname (as opposed to an epithet).
Since I've been wearing my various hats unabashedly, I have had more positive than negative comments, which I find rather heartening. Couple of weeks ago, as I was getting off the Mount Pleasant bus uptown, a young... (can't think of the adjective... sk8r grrl, perhaps?) totally unknown to me said "Excuse me... I really love your hat. Where did you get it?" I told her "Thanks very much" and where I got it... I've also had several people tell me they saw me in the street after recognizing the hat! (The fact that I'm 6 feet tall, bearded and fat didn't seem to make them twig, but the hat did...) Anyway—
One of my colleagues now calls me "The Cat in The Hat"; which I don't mind at all

I wouldn't worry too much as the new movie seems to have faded away pretty darn fast.
Nobody will remember in a few weeks it seems. NOT!

Both sides of the law? With the same hat? Capone liked lighter colored hats---like the dove gray ones. Don't tell me you were wearing a brown or black hat---that was Ness.

I was wearing a charcoal grey, nearly black, hat. But to most people who see a fedora, they're all the same. A hat is a hat.
At least I wasn't called Indy.
