    Style vs. Function

    I wouldn't say functionality has gone completely out the window. Perhaps it's gone out with hipsters or people who don't know better but for the rest of us who realize that no one can pull off the red lobster look like to wear a wide brim (granted they're usually western style hats but...

    Help for picking fountain pens

    Just to add another recommendation for it, I've been using the Pelikan M200 for about roughly a month now and I can say that I like it a lot. It's a manual fill, not cartridge. I haven't had any problems with it at all except for maybe the occasional giant blot that sneak attacks me after I...

    Hat Theory... Night wearing? Car life?

    When it comes to wearing hats in cars, I'd throw myself in the boat as Doh!. So I just keep a cheap flat cap in the car and my fedora on the seat beside me or the dashboard. That way I don't feel naked when I'm in the car. As for straws at night, whatever floats your boat I guess. Depending...

    How did you start wearing hats?

    I guess it sort of all started during the summer of 2000 when I went on a People to People trip to Australia. During our visit to a small reserve, I saw Jackaroo (I think that was the brand, I'll have to check) leather hat that are sold to tourists and something in me just clicked and said I had...

    Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

    The various groups of four letters that everyone is posting are just their results from a personalitiy test based on Carl Jung's work. The link explains it lot better. Myers-Briggs: http://www.myersbriggs.org/my%2Dmbti%2Dpersonality%2Dtype/mbti%2Dbasics/ Beats me what Keirsey is based on. I...

    Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

    INTJ for the Myers-Brigg but that was over six years ago when I had to take as part of my acceptance packet to WFS. I just took the Keirsey test and I ended up a Guardian-Protector. And is it just me or do the personality types for Keirsey sound like DnD character classes?

    Hat pins

    I decided to put a pin on one of my hats (more than likely the stylemaster) and I was wondering if anyone has any advice when it comes to what works and what doesn't.

    What Are You Reading

    I've actually just started reading Hatless Jack by Neil Steinberg and I gotta admit hat history is kinda of interesting. Especially when it starts talking about hat laws.

    Specific Issue Arising from Previous Thread

    I don't really think there's anything wrong with correcting what seems to be an incorrect statement as long as you're willing to prove why it's wrong. The Lounge (as previously described as) is seen as a well of information that people draw from and it would be detrimental to FL's reputation if...

    Water and sweat stains

    Is any sort of powder actually necessary for getting rid of sweat stains on ribbons? I've found that dampening the end of a Q-tip and rubbing the stain on both sides of the ribbon has worked for me well. Although, I think I may be slowly fading the black on affected areas. Actually, I think...

    Please help me choose the right hat for my TV appearance!

    I think the Herbert Johnson Homburg looks best on you. To me, the Akubra looks a little small and the gray hats don't really complement the way the suit glows. By the way, I actually kind like the nice ethereal effect that the flash had on your suit. You'll definitely look sharp in front of the...

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    Thank God for my Akubra I got another silly comment about my plastic hat cover just last night. I was about an hour and a half late for rehearsal (Strike for a different play went longer than expected) and I had thrown on the cover on because I had to walk a good distance in the freezing rain...

    Where did your user name come from??

    It's the same name I've been using online for the past five to six years. The story is that it's Socrates misspelled. S-o-c-r-a-t-e-s S-o-c-r-e-t-s.

    My first hat = what to choose?

    Apparently it is. According to the following website anyway. if I can find a slightly more authoritative source, I'll post it. http://www.teachnet.com/how-to/manage/hats000916.html

    Live Theatre - Lounger's Appearances and Stories

    I haven't really done much outside of the usual high school and undergrad fare. Although I had a real blast as an assistant stage manager, properties designer/master and stage crew for Tragedy! (A Musical Comedy). The musical (A satire of modern society through making fun of Titus Andronicus...
