Yesterday was the debut of my last new felt, a light gray bowler. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Today (Sep 27), another new hat debuted - a blue bowler. I had real trouble finding a blue bowler I liked. All I could find were royal blue bowlers; I wanted navy blue, or better yet, a shade brighter than that. I found that shade brighter on eBay. The crown is a little too belled for my... -

Yesterday, September 26, was the first day this fall that it was cool enough (for me) to wear felt. To celebrate, I wore a new hat: a Tyrolean. A good thing I wore it, too. We had a fire alarm at work and we were outside for quite some time. Now all I need is lederhosen and I can go... -

I'm not a big fan of brown hats, but I really like the look of this one! -
Felt hats in summer..
Here's how I handle it (I'm such a computer programmer). Summer and winter in Indiana are no-brainers. Spring and autumn, however: Look at the weather forecast for the high temperature and likelihood of rain that day. If rain is likely, wear an ivy cap (until I can Scotchgard a couple of... -

I would like to canvass the opinions of my fellow hat-wearers.... I prefer a stiffer hat, which is why I like bowlers and boaters. I wanted a stiff hat with a broad brim, but I couldn't find one at a reasonable price. Then I thought to look on eBay and found Pennsylvania Amish straw hats... -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Well, not today, but on May 22, I went to a going-away party for my brother and his family (he moved back to Fargo - I'm still in exile in Indianapolis :p ) I wore my Panama straw gambler - the widest brim I have. The sun was strong that day. -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
So, I wore my gray fedora today. This was the first iteration of this hat (Orthodox Palm Sunday 2016).... Later, I removed the hat band and tried to iron it, but the material was too flimsy. Besides, I didn't like the look of the hat band. So, I bought a new one. Here is the result, worn... -

Yes, it's May 15. Straw Hat Day, right? Not in Indianapolis - too chilly! According to the forecast, "Straw Hat Day" won't be until Thursday at the earliest, and that's followed by two days of rain. Went to my brother's house right after church today. Time to dress up a bit.... (worn with... -

Okay, one from yesterday, one from today.... It has been quite chilly in Indianapolis lately. No straw hats for the last week or so. Yesterday, the bowler got what might be it's last hurrah before this fall: Today, the navy blue pork pie went grocery shopping with me: -
Terms Which Have Disappeared
I have lived in Indiana for 17 years now, and I am assured by several people, both in Indiana and back in North Dakota and Minnesota, that I have not lost my Minnesota accent. I consider this a good thing! :cool:- ND1SU

Hat Rhymes
My brother has an interesting sense of humor. Among other things, he composes rap-style rhymes with odd topics: fast-food restaurants, herbicides, and chemistry have provided him with inspiration. So, he wrote one about pork pie hats, which is decidedly R-rated (actually, most of his stuff... -

Terms Which Have Disappeared
The first time I felt old, I was 40, and talking to a young man of 19. In our conversation, I used the phrase "rotary-dial telephone", to which he responded, "What's that?" I think I had a few hairs instantly turn gray.... Then there was the time I was talking to a young woman (20 years...- ND1SU

Yesterday was Pascha (Easter) in the Eastern Orthodox Church. The other gentleman in the photo is our parish deacon. He had someone else take this photo on his cell phone, which I asked him to "text" to me. The hat is shantung.
