    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    That's a real beauty, Chris. I don't wear my Hommies enough, mainly because I don't dress up enough.

    Well, I am known to wear them dusty too.

    I think protecting the logo was the major consideration.

    It could be that back when bathing was reserved for Saturday night, natural oils played a role. When I was small we had a bath every other day, but only got the hair washed on Saturday night. In Jr. High School someone said something about my greasy hair and I wanted the earth to swallow me up...

    I let most of them get dusty, then brush them one at a time before wearing. Moths worry me more than dust.

    Great, Bowen! I easily have 500 hats at this point (don't tell my wife, but it might be closer to 600). Many of them are junk hats that I thought I could improve on my path to becoming a hatter. They're cannon fodder, if nothing else, but I still hope to use them to perfect skills without...

    If you keel over with a heart attack, will they have to bring Geraldo Rivera and a camera crew in to open the vaults, or are the combos secured in a safety deposit box?

    Kudos to your lesson as well, Jack. If I can add one caveat, without offence, I would only say that a long-standing crease first needs to be worked out, with steam, of a well cleaned hat. Even high grade felts can get a little "stuck" after enough time in a given shape.

    Great observations, Jared. Also, as a side note, Le May's novel upon which the movie was based is an excellent read, as is his connected work, The Unforgiven, which I recently reread. Of course, you can't instruct about the hand of felt from either one. I do love the way you picked up on Wayne's...

    Very well said, Jim. It is a learning process, and a little like the way Treasury trains their anti counterfeiting agents. They don't study counterfeit bills. They study the real deal, then the phony is obvious.
