    2 stories in the Post about hats!

    Different hats for different Occasions

    Seems to me to a large extent, at least for many people, fedora wearing is a vicarious experience to begin with, so if wearing your "good" hat in the rain makes you feel a little like Indiana Jones, I say go ahead. If I had a yard I wouldn't wear my business suits when I worked in it. I'd...
