    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    What I have found from life, history and a bit of research is that any form of etiquette has never been followed by all of society. The majority may have, but not everyone followed whichever etiquette may have been in question. Part of the reason is that the "rules" vary or varied from region to...

    Porkpies - or, the time and place for hats

    To me brown has never been formal and I can't do it. But, with a brown dress suit it would work fine. What I find sad and or funny depending on how you look at it is that there is not any true existing hat etiquette anymore. As hats are more than just out of style the rules considering them are...

    To Feather or Not to Feather?

    Like many other things it all depends. What do you like? To me some hats work with a feather, I have one in one of my porkpies. On another hat I wouldn't like it. I also have a Dobbs Gamebird that has a gamebird feather pin I would wear that on that hat if I wasn't trying to save it. Now what...

    Baseball Caps (in moderation)?

    I believe that ever tool has it's place. Once upon a time I would wear ball caps, but never liked the advertising aspect that most of them have. Once I found fedoras I have for the most part never looked back. However I do think that there are some occasions where a ball cap is still a better...

    Members list

    While having the members list disabled does not cause me much distress, there have been a number of times where it could have been useful. Also having it disabled does not stop anyone or bot for that matter from accessing the information of the members if they are determined. However I do...

    I'm horrified.

    Well, sounds like a home decorator site... One of my favorite hats was free, does that mean it should be retired as a pot. I think not!

    Snagged this Dobbs - Did I Do OK?

    At the best of times every ebay purchase is a leap into the unknown until the package arrives. Considering the prices hats of a similar nature have been going for I would say that you did well. Many 2" and under (stingy) brimmed hats are going for up around $60 and often that seems to be because...

    Hat etiquette for *today*

    The simple answer is yes there was such a rule and there is still such a rule. However most have not been informed of it and most are not in a position where they are forced to abide by the rule. The military still follows hat etiquette today and hopefully will into the future. The rest of us...

    The cool thing about always wearing a hat is...

    The cool thing about always wearing a hat is... well, that I am just being me! I'm not trying to fit into the crowd, be accepted, etcetera. Plus as someone else said....no more bad hair days! Oh! also you can change your look in a moments notice just by removing the hat.

    It may be better than the previous site but is lacking in many ways. I don't like it.

    Antifreeze removal

    So, though I know a post is worthless with out pics but my camera is at the ex in-laws. However, I washed the hat with distilled water using a spray bottle and had great results. I sprayed only the areas affected and a bit beyond. Soaked the worst areas, and avoided the interior of the hat...

    Antifreeze removal

    Well it got completely covered but lucky the hat is black. Maybe I could give it a heavy spray down w water and blot it dry as much as possible.

    Antifreeze removal

    Alright so I am not going into the story of how the orange antifreeze ended up on one of my favorite hats. However I am hoping someone here has a good idea of how best to remove the stuff. Anyone have a good method? Thanks in advance, Dave

    Modern rabbit, vintage rabbit, modern beaver

    Interesting thread. It may prove in the end that pricing reflects preconceived notions that have no bearing in fact. If what I am seeing here is correct, then the beaver hats are severely over priced in most aspects in comparison with the rabbit/hair because the public expects to pay it. Not...
