This is the best reason I've heard so far for having a feather on a hat.

I've never been a feather guy but yesterday I was resting after doing a little yard work and my now 4 year old granddaughter walked up and showed me a feather she found in the yard. Without a word she reached up and stuck it in my ribbon right where it belonged. Now that feather has a memory attached to it and at least as far as my work hat is concerned, I am now a feather guy.

Almost always I remove any feathers from my hats when I buy them. But my Resistol Kitten Finish early-Sixties fedora came with a feather that blended nicely with the reddish brown of the felt, and so I've left it in place:

Reminds me of the Emily Dickinson quote "Hope is the thing with feathers" which Woody Allen referenced in the title of his book "Without Feathers".

Wasn't her character, in Rio Bravo called "Feathers," due to her fondness of wearing a feather boa?

Just trying these out for size & color match on a Coober Pedy.

I believe you are thinking of Angie Dickinson and rather than Emily Dickinson

Thanks Karl. I think I'll use the Red Tail Hawk shoulder feather in this CP plus maybe my Sand colored Akubra Cattleman. I think I'll try the Great Horned Owl tail feather on my gray Ritch Rand next time I get it out of the box.

Bringing this pic over to this thread:

As we have learned, feathers in hats are an acquired taste not shared by by many. The nice thing is that they can be removed or changed out. Below is an Optimo in Canyon Grey. Graham has told me he gets his feathers from people who make fishing lures.

I get mine from parrots.

you like a talker so, do you?

my grandfather always said ... "a feather on a hat is like a mustache on a beautiful woman"

I tend to a agree with gramps

this might be only the 7th time I've typed this in this thread ... could be the first though .. who knows ?

feathers are a great accessory for hats, most of my hats I wear with it.
