    What do our hats really say about us, and more importantly, are they right?

    What does wearing a hat say, that I have enough sense to get in out of the rain/sun....LOL!! I also admit that I am inspired by another era.

    New Fellow's Experiences

    First off, you guys slay me with your knowledge and inventory of exceptional hats and caps. I "decided" to start wearing hats and caps as a part of my business attire two years ago. Since then I have gone "off the deep end". My currect inventory includes a fur felt Indiana Jones, a...

    How hot is it inside your hat?

    Interesting that there is not that much different between the straw and felt.

    Newsboys and tips on how to shape them.

    Similar to a quality baseball hat. Take the rear of the hat and fold it into the front. Then fold everything over the brim and use a loose rubber band or other wider strap to curve the brim to desired shape.

    Tipping Your Hat

    I have touched my brim a few times to those in the 70 plus crowd and they react like it brings back a rememberance of when manners were valued.

    Need help on flat caps and fisherman's hats

    Perhaps this might help. A 1571 Act of Parliament to stimulate domestic wool consumption and general trade decreed that on Sundays and holidays, all males over 6 years of age, except for the nobility and persons of degree, were to wear caps of wool manufacture on force of a fine (3/4d (pence)...

    NPR: What Killed Men's Hats?

    Free baseball caps to advertise surely contributed to not as many wearing brimmed and flat caps. I intend to launch a one man effort to turn back the clock...lol. I was introduced the the flat cap by my grandfather and wore his "big apple" to school and play. BTW, I told my 11 year old grand...

    Using Hats

    My hats are part of my tool box. During the week I use them for business and keeping the sun off my face. Recently I have gone to wearing the brimmed hats more, they remind me of standing under a shade tree which is nice. On the weekends, I wear Stetson Openroad (ebay find) that I tore the...

    Moose River Hat

    My first post...I have had a MR for ten years and used in all types of weather. When the brim begins to curl up, I use a steam iron at highest setting and using a cotton cloth, reshape the brim. The wool on this hat is soft to the touch and I get many compliments.
