    My "old time" duo!

    hi guys. I'm a fedora lover who happens to be in an old time, country, skiffle duo.. I hope you don't mind me sharing this but we recently recorded a live session of one of our numbers and thought I'd share it here... If this kind of thing is frowned upon please feel free to remove it. If not, I...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Sorry guys.. here in the UK, a "Geezer" is simply a man or bloke. It has kind of evolved to mean a cool dude or someone who has a charisma about them.. At least that's the case in my neck of the woods anyway! Absolutely no disrespect intended. I'll rephrase it... Joao, you look the business in...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Well Most of the time I'm dressed quite casual really, so yeah, laid back is ok with me. Joao, as a new member to this forum, it's my opinion that you are the best hat wearer here! There are many greats in here but Joao looks like a geezer! I'd love to get away with some of the massive hats you...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I had a comment passed my way on Saturday night. My band was playing and I'd worked up a bit of a sweat. As I wiped my brow with a towel, I without realising, knocked my hat So it was tilting backwardsand and the brim flipped up. I was unaware as I was performing. A good friend of mine told me...

    I'm becoming increasingly vexed by the fact that there are no shops in the west midlands that sell hats. My only option is to buy hats online and hope they fit and suit me. I see pictures of you American gentlemen in amazing shops surrounded by amazing hats... Bloody rediculous! Just venting...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Oh yes it is sometimes composed and deliberate, No question. Especially when I'm working. What I mean is, I don't tend to wear "smart" clothes. i still think I have a style, just not a very classic style! It makes sense in my head! if people notice my headwear, they seldom mention it to me!

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I am not a "sharp dresser", like most tend to be on here... By that I mean I don't wear suits! I would say most people on here wouldn't like my style as it's less classy and more rough round the edges. I've worn hats for a while but only recently purchased a fedora. I'm not really sure if people...

    I'm gigging tonight and wearing the only hat I have! It's cheap (16 quid), too small and seen a fair bit of rain over the last few days. I'm becoming rather fond of it!! Terrible photo..

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I agree but I'm still learning what suits me really. I like the 2.5 brim on the hat I have and would like to try a less tapered crown.. Like I said, I'm still learning!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Might go down the copy route... That Daquino place has a nice looking hat that I could change up a bit..choose colours and request a straighter crown. Might get me in the ballpark for a while..

    Hey guys. As I can't get to a shop to try different styles on, I'm going to order one from D'aquino as was suggested earlier.. I just want some opinions from you guys first.. I would like it to have little or no taper on the crown, a slightly wider brim than the one in the photo below (it's 2.5...

    hi guys. I'm still very new here so forgive me if this has already been discussed... Just wondering what people's thoughts are on the myth that wearing hats accelerates hair loss. Interested in hearing from fellas who have been hatters for a decent period of time. Do you feel it's had an impact...

    I'm a bit of a technophobe my self to be honest. I think the photos I posted here were my first ever "selfies"! Just finished another gig. Donned the hat for a second time... People seem to dig it! It's funny, I've worn a straw hat for a number of years but wearing this new fedora, although...

    The point I was trying to make about hair was less to do with the fit of the hat and more to do with how hair changes the way a hat looks. I know he is ridiculously handsome and could probably put a bag on his head and still look cool, but In my opinion Johnny depp looks much better in this hat...
