I recently set my hat down at a work party, and someone apparently picked it up with residue on their fingers and left two faint fingerprints on the underside of the brim. AHHH, lesson learned! Never even occurred to me, (A) that someone would fondle my lid and (B) that it would be noticed as I thought I had set it well out of the way. The other thing that amazes me is how little some people know about handling a hat!!

Satin Silver Mossant
I just make sure my hands don't have food on them. Other than that, I've learned a few things about how to repair/clean/re-stitch/Block-flange; etc my hats, so I don't really worry. Most things, as master hatter who teaches me says, that happen to hats are fairly easy to fix.

Those white hats of yours look like could be soiled just by looking at them! They are magnificent, on the other hand.
Billy, great hat group.
Hatophile, keep the good work...
Lots of nice hats. Congrats gentlemen!

This is a new-for-me 30's Stetson... a very nice sort of teal blue, a bluish steel grey.

Torpedo, once again the hat and suit combo are superb.

Great looking hats guys!
People are so clueless. So much so, that many don't even get how rude it is to "play with" someone's hat. Simply a novelty to them. Just last week in a club, a friend was wearing a nice old Alpine (I think that's the correct term, sort of like a Trilby). Set it on the bar for just a moment and turned his back, and another friend of his grabbed it and put it on in a "hey look at me" sort of adolescent game (we're middle aged). I'd already asked him about the hat as I'd not known him to wear one, and gotten the story. It had been his Grandfather's. Was probably 50 years old or more.
No respect, hat's are just not something people are as exposed to as they once were, so there is a novelty factor. The fact that even civilized men will behave in that manner just speaks to what else society lost around the same time hats were going away from the mainstream. I wonder if there's a connection?

My western conversion by Optimo for a rainy day in Los Angeles. From the looks of the weather reports I may be wearing this for most of the next week.

Lloyd, could you tell us what kind of fur that hat is and color, please? I really, really like that one!
BJ. Nice Biltmore
T Rick, that one looks great. good color and fit.
DanielJones: That looks like the toughest, most rugged, yet beautiful hat you can buy.
Congratulations to all of you.
