    Hats in restaurants

    I absolutely understand the feeling that it’s not right in a given situation because I’ve felt it often, but the older I get the less often I feel a need to stick to that old tradition. I’m admittedly not a traditionalist - just having recently discovered my love of those brimmed hats a few...

    Nice - That's a great look. I don't blame you for bearing the heat for a while to enjoy that one.

    That overcoat simply rocks. Sorry, I know it's about the excellent-looking cap, but that coat deserves a mention!

    Village Hat shop sells terry cloth hat sizers with an adhesive backing that can stick on the leather sweat band. Since it doesn't have to go behind the sweat, there's no rippling. It also gives you some softness in the forehead area to soak up some of the sweat. You can pull it off and...

    I love that. Tilleys are what I believe to be some of the most versatile hats out there. I bought an airflow LTM5 years ago for sun protection (still wear it) and now have six in different styles/colors. My latest one is a hemp in olive green that looks a lot like the one you're wearing.

    I agree with that 100%. I know a few, and one is married to my niece. All great people who are slow to anger and loads of fun to be around. But - If something ever happened that required their training to kick in - I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of what they're dishing out.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Congrats - nice! I'm a long oval too, and I'm used to having to steam my hats into a longer shape to fit my head. Then behold - I recently stumbled onto an old extra long oval that fit so nicely I could almost hear angels sing. Those hats are magical for those of us with long noggins. I'll...

    Dobbs Golden Coach, my guess is from sometime in the 80s. My sixth felt bowler but my first black one.

    Hats in restaurants

    That’s for the most part the way I do it. At a nice restaurant or at church I take it off when I’m seated, and put it back on when I stand to leave. I put it in the safest-looking spot while I’m there. I won’t risk it falling in the floor from a chair back if the back doesn’t look like it...

    Heading out for errands this afternoon in the Stetson Florentine Latte. This has become one of my favorite warm weather hats to wear. I’m usually a brim snapped up kinda guy, but for some reason I’m having a hard time deciding whether to leave up or snap down. It would be great if that’s...

    Ah - thanks for clarifying that. I didn't want to wear out my welcome with all of you my first month here. I usually don't achieve that on forums until at least two months have passed. lol

    As I said, “newbie”. Sometimes I ask questions without searching all the threads first. Sorry.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Just a quick newbie observation: I've noticed that a lot of us who are posting pictures here are into hawaiian themed shirts with our hats. I also wear them more days of the week than not. Is that a thing?

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Wow I wouldn’t be complaining either - that’s awesome. I’m pretty much 7 3/8 with a long oval head. That means I have to steam most hats into a longer shape or else they’ll have gaps on the sides and leave a crease on my forehead… Which brings me to show the hat I’m wearing today, at least...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    In my relatively short experience with felt hats, I've found it amazing how some of these dirty and bent up hats can turn out so nice with just a brush and a tea kettle. That's a nice-looking hat and it doesn't look too low on your head at all. I actually like for mine to fit a little loose...
