    HAT ADORNMENTS: ribbons, bows, pins, pugs, leather, etc.

    On most of the hats I've seen with a Campaign Bow the bow was separate from the Crown Ribbon and set in-place as the Ribbon was attached to the hat, then in specific spots the bow was attached (sewn) to the hat in order to retain it's shape. One of these days I'll get myself a hat with a thin...

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    I like how nicely that cap and jacket go together Signore Tanto; an effortless casual style!

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Oh, I can do better than that. Several years ago I was walking through the "grocery" section of a store with a friend, and I saw a product that was called "Crumbs". Upon closer inspection I learned it was, indeed, a box of deliberately broken cookies, intentionally packaged for, apparently...

    You know you are getting old when:

    You might try the Fashionable Canes website. I've purchased two canes from them in the past (separately); they accurately cut the canes to the length I asked for, and each arrived in perfect condition. I found their prices comparable, but it's been more than a few years since I ordered from them...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    This is wrong on two or three levels, but even the average American wouldn't know why. Spelling aside, the United States of America does not have an official language for the simple reason that our Government has never chosen one. I've never found an exact reason for this, but I assume it's...

    "Main Character Syndrome". I like that, and it seems appropriate based on some of the behaviors I've observed. Thank you!

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I'm aware that a lot of people these days like to be "the center of attention" for whatever reason, and I'm convinced that's why they behave this way, but on those rare occasions when I receive a phone call anywhere but in my car (while it's parked) or at home, I refuse to answer it and will...

    Crush Cap as Daily Wear?

    I have a few of Sterkowski's flat caps (i.e., "Ivy" and "Newsboy" caps), and I like them. The lighter weight "linen" cap I have is a bit too light for my tastes--it doesn't quite want to stay put when I wear it, and shifts position regularly--but the others are excellent value for the price. I...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    My fiancee has one of those. We'll be out somewhere doing whatever, a question will come up, and suddenly she turns into Dick Tracy. Speaking into her wristwatch: "Siri, who starred in (insert movie name here) in 2003?" :rolleyes:

    “WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...

    They don't? Mark Lenard as one of the first Romulans seen in Star Trek ("Balance of Terror", Season 1, Episode 14). He would later play Spock's father Sarek, but in this episode he played a Romulan Commander...with pointed ears.

    Movie hats

    Oh, absolutely. Legend has it that Mr. Keaton himself re-creased each and every hat he wore as a Pork Pie in his comedy shorts, loosely estimated to be thousands of hats throughout his career.

    Fedoras afield

    I can't speak for anyone else, obviously, but I could do with a bit of boredom. Post away! ;)

    Why vintage?

    For me, I think my parents' influence played a large part in why I like things from the past more than most modern rubbish. Dad was born in 1913, Mom in 1915, so they lived through (and then some) what we like to refer to as The Golden Age and experienced it first-hand. As such, they had a...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I noticed one thing wrong with it almost immediately--it's two sizes too small for my head. ;)

    “WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...

    They would probably consider it an abomination, a "scar" on an otherwise attractive and Iconic logo. It should be black for a proper "Croc Dundee" hat. ;)

    Indy hat post em up

    Yeah, I clearly look nothing like Harrison Ford, so even an "Indy" fedora on my head just looks like a fedora. Besides, I learned early on that my head above the sweatband is too tall or misshapen and pushes out a Center Dent from the inside the moment I put the hat on, so a Teardrop/Diamond/C...

    Indy hat post em up

    I'd have to agree that the "Careful Workshop" hat with it's larger crown suits you more, but I don't think the "AdVintage" hat looks bad at all, and if you had only posted that hat I wouldn't have thought twice about it. Nice choices!

    Funeral arrangements

    I never really thought or cared about what would happen to my body after I die; scoop out the viable organs, give 'em to whoever needs them, and dump my dead carcass wherever you can. Whenever anyone asked, I'd always jokingly say, "Oh, that'll be someone else's problem," because I don't follow...

    You know you are getting old when:

    I saw The Stones here in Los Angeles during the "Steel Wheels" tour in 1989. My best friend for life called at the last moment and asked if I wanted to go. He said he had a free ticket if I wanted it, the only catch was that he needed someone he could trust to help him keep an eye on his...

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    What a great casual look! I hope I find a cap like that in my size someday.
