. . . like when you were a gangly preteen, maybe, and wore some questionable hats! Here's one of me in the early 70's:

Nice pic! Here's a pic with my first felt hat, back in 1962. I loved that hat, but left it out in the rain and forgot about it for a couple of days - Mom would not let it back in the house.

As I'm sure I've mentioned here before, I collected hats as a kid. These pictures are part of the same set as my avatar picture, and were taken by my dad (the pro photographer) for a report I did on hats in eighth grade, circa 1969:

The Local Politician

The Big Game Hunter

The Master Detective

The Flying Ace

I still have these hats (also a boater, two top hats, assorted kaffiyehs, etc.), but they are all two sizes too small for me now.

Those are fantastic hats and even better photos, Doctor Strange--thanks for sharing them. Takes me back to the late 60s/early 70s as well, although no hat photos. Just a memory of a sorry attempt to attend a Halloween party dressed as Erroll Flynn...penciled-on moustache, a white shirt of my father's that was too big for me and thus somewhat blousy, brown polyester slacks, and ankle boots. A stick wrapped in tin foil as my sword. No one got it--they just thought I was trying to grow a moustache. Thank god there were no photos taken. Glad to see your outfits were much better put together!

This photo was taken on Easter Sunday 1966.
Hamtramck, Michigan
This was called my "Hanky Panky Hat"' How that name came up, I just don't remember.

Heck, I was already a member of the Thin Ribbon Society and didn't know it in 1971. But, even with a cool hat I couldn't get a date. You think it was the glasses???lol

Same. lol lol

My mom has one I'll try to get. I got a slouch hat from somewhere when I was around three or four. My mom says that I got up in the morning, put it on, and wore it until I went to bed. Good kid.

I could have sworn I posted these two pictures yesterday when this thread first started. I came back today to check on what other pictures were added and mine weren't there. Either my computer messed up or I am losing my mind. lol

These be just_me at about 12 and 18.

I've been thinking that, but wasn't sure if it was an insult. I'm still not sure, but at least I'm not alone.

It is probobly around the same time as that film.
No insult at all he is a great actor and that was a fine upstanding character.
