Seeing Red
Don't expect a bright red fedoras on a man, that is - a red baseball cap isn't unusual at all. In my early teens, my father bought a pair of bright red felt broad brimmed hats, no ribbon, primarily for hunting, and I wore mine fairly often when it rained. Can't remember what became of it... -

No e-bay hats for big heads
No, don't think so - she teaches ballet, though. We're in Wallingford; didn't know about the one in West Seattle, have seen references to a Henrietta in Madison or thereabouts. And Conley, presumably others of the male gender, so I guess there are more than a couple hat makers around here... -

No e-bay hats for big heads
No idea, but might add there are still a couple hat makers here. One of them lives around the corner, haven't really talked to her about it but I've seen a very nice looking fedora of hers on another neighbor. I personally have too little money coming in and have left too many hats on the bus... -

Berets, Anyone?
Mine arrived a day or two before, since it didn't have far to go. Looks like you manage pretty well with it - it's an unusual hat, isn't obvious how to wear it in a natural way. I'm not sure I have it figured out. I wore it this weekend, glad I did when it started raining a little as it's a... -

No e-bay hats for big heads
Entirely my fault, as inexperienced as I am I perhaps could be forgiven for not realizing that when discussing the paucity of large hat sizes on ebay, we would be talking about ebay as an international marketplace, which is a wonderful thing indeed. In this case, perhaps it's a situation that... -

Thoughts on 'feltex'
Don't count this as advice from an expert, but with similar sentiment I recently mail-ordered a lined wool bowler from www.hatsinthebelfry.com for $38 plus shipping, and it seems all right to me. Made in the US, with their house label but presumably by someone like New York Hat Co.? Not posh... -

No e-bay hats for big heads
Not significantly - it may be good in various ways, but whether it's positive in the sense implied by the context is arguable, and anyway there's a difference between recycling and collecting. I get a sense here that people would like to see hats come back, right? More people wearing them... -

No e-bay hats for big heads
A pox on EBay It's kind of funny to think of all the ladies and gentlemen here, clearly inspired by the taste and style of generations long past ... sitting by their computers checking Ebay every day for some hat deal. There are hats of all kinds and sizes, newly made and ready for someone... -

The Bowler or Derby Hat
Might have to remind us, but I'm ready to go - just acquired a wool bowler at a fairly economical price, actually may be my first hat with a liner. I look kind of like I escaped from the circus, but this hat really does look best on me tilted to the back. I reckon if nothing else, it will be... -

Surprised
I'm sure the wikipedia article has it basically right, but might have mentioned the interesting parallel with the use of the term in music, specifically with respect to rhythm. While that doesn't intend to be about people, it's funny how it does tend to be a personal trait - as an amateur... -

Hat etiquette for *today*
At an outside table, or inside only? I think one would just as likely remove one's hat at an outside table, assuming clement weather suited to dining outside in the first place. I'm sure anyone can think of other outdoors situations where a hat would be out of place on your head. The issue... -

Berets, Anyone?
Though it's apparently difficult to indulge that preference if you're reduced to mail-ordering one. The beret is perhaps more difficult than other hats to size, non? since the fit relies entirely on the sweatband, unlike a shaped hat. I'm fortunate to live near enough to a retailer that... -

Berets, Anyone?
For the record, this web site also appears to offer the Super Lujo, at a reasonable price (I didn't check shipping charges, or where they're shipped from.) http://www.esflamenco.com/product/en60310549.html Width is a little ambiguous here, because cited dimensions in metric and English...
