I'm sure not all nurses wore that style as shown above, but they were practical for nurses - which is where they get their names because they didn't come in contact with the hands - and would not get dirty or in the way. My grandmother used to wear one as well when she first started working -...
I find that even I have to guard against engaging in stereotypes. I've never encountered so many straight men, as here in the Fedora Lounge, who are just BONKERS over Art-Deco cigarette cases, Harris tweed, and vintage eye-glasses!

I bought two wool felts from Salmagundi hats this season (made by STITCH hats). They are both GREAT hats - nice feel, good quality and I have received SO many compliments on them. I just make sure I don't wear them in the rain as a precaution. :)
