^ Either way, that model sure looks happy to be wearing it.

That hat is perfect for those who are hard of hearing. It may be a profanity, but you can contrive it when someone says, or seems to say: "Where the fox hat?"

Meanwhile, there was a craze at the college I went to, back in the sixties. Students would fray their jeans by unpicking the treads.

The same treatment looks like it's been done to this straw hat.

This er, creation might be inspired by New York's Fire Dept.

I am not quite sure what is going on with this "Vintage Wide Brim Bandolero Fedora." I am just sure why anyone needs a piece of glass, a hunk of wood, a used cartridge with a piece of tin foil in it, and a stick you their hat for, but... View attachment 378193
It is (or was) the hat of a Medicine Man, or someone who wanted to be one or be perceived as one. The "piece of glass" is a crystal, and the item with the white string around it is sage which is used for cleansing. I don't know what the spent cartridge or the little piece of wood might be used for, but if they're included someone had a use for them. Or it's all just for show.

And here I figured it was MacGyver's hat. He can use all of those things to build an airplane and escape, or something.
