Sombrero ?

[Cufflinks_Carl]

I don't see many member talking about "what hat fits what face".

Seems like many people want a model but don't care much about if their face goes with the hat they like.

I saw that on some skiny people, a full size fedora looked like some sort of sombrero.

By the way, does anyone wear a true sombrero ?

It is a funny hat, isn't it ?

If you live in a sunny climate a wide brim is essential.

Ok but then you wear a summer light hat.

A fur left hat must be be too warming, mustn't it ?

I have a receeding chin, big ears, and heavy eyebrows. According to that link, can anyone figure out what hat is right for me, and what hat is wrong?

I have been waiting for the right time to post a photo of my Sombrero. A friend brought it back from old Mexico.

Bud, that's a great piece to have in your collection. I'm trying to remember, though, if I've ever actually seen a Mexican national wearing one???

According to my calculations...

That's the one J.T.! And you both live in Texas, so maybe you can borrow it before buying one. [angel]

I have my doubts that they would wear one like this.

Even I can not stretch this one to fit.

Good natured frivolity is what makes this place so much fun! :eusa_clap lol

 

[Bud-n-Texas]

lol Sorry JT, like I said, I have been waiting, I just had to pull the trigger on this. It is the first thread I have seen on sombrero's.

Vintage sombreros.

 

[HamletJSD]

Akubra still makes a felt Sombrero ... so someone must be wearing them

 

[KObalto]

Thanks to the surveillance cameras

which are starting to blanket our inner cities, I predict sombreros will become the next big urban fashion. You read it here first.

If they alter the Sombrero to incorporate a "Tilley Secret Pocket," then I think you're Urban Style Revolution will happen ...

Just think how many iPods, smartphones, and wi-fi capable gadgets you could stash in that crown!

Fees Up

The jig's up, Bud n. We now need to see a Green Card from you, if you want to continue legally posting here.

Not to mention illegal items.
The crown itself is the pocket. Didn't 19th century gentlemen stash paperwork in the crowns of their top hats?

Sandy Burger would have a field day ...

Okay, okay, a low blow and borderline political. I apologize.

Keep it under your hat

lol I'd surely love to wear a sombrero. But not with my toreador costume.

There's a scene in Jack Finney's Time and Again where a policeman has the wanted man's picture in his helmet.

I saw a man in Texas wearing a straw sombrero, it looked cool.
