Post New Hats Here!
It was Black Rose in Allentown. Multi dealer place in the back of a mall. The one I got locally was sized down to fit me and I use it as an everyday. The Borsalino needs to be stretched a bit. It fits like a 7 3/8 inch and I'd like to keep it. The Dobbs is too small but I got it thinking of... -

Ask a question, get an answer
I recently came across a Dobbs Game Bird, size 7 1/4, at an antique mall in PA. Doing on-line research, the examples I see have feathers in the band and one that had feathers that seem to have been woven into the band. The hat I got actually has a pheasant pin with the typical feathers on the... -

What's your signature hat?
I don't have a signature hat either. I am currently breaking in my new gray Christie that was my Christmas present to myself. It's my first fur felt/raw edge and I'm liking it a lot. Depending on the weather, I shift around going mostly with a fedora I got at JJ's in NYC,brown teardrop. I also... -

Decline of hat wearing - What Makes a Man Wear a Hat? - Article
I think I agree with the 60's and 70's theory of rebelling. The hats came off and we wore our hair long and got the bell bottoms, just like everyone else, to show our rebellion. Now it's tattos and piercings to show individuality. Personally, I don't feel a need to add extra holes to myself, so... -

The nicest comment I ever heard
A couple weeks ago I was out wearing a summer off white sport jacket (get lots of remarks on it. $5 at Sal's Boutique) and my Bailey faux straw fedora. The cashier says" You remind me of that guy from "Night Court". -

Longhairs & Fedoras
I have hair to my shoulder blades that I keep "tailed" 99% of the time. My girlfriend likes it long as does my barber (she's a master barber, not a stylist, and keeps me looking good). I do ball caps at work and around the yard, fedoras the rest of the time. Haven't had any negative comments and... -

Favorite hat stores?
My first choice is Blue-Byrds in Kingston,NY. Nuthin' fancy, but they have a good selection and know their business. Being an upstate hick, I just love JJ Hat Center in NYC. Granted, I don't have a great point of reference yet for pricing,etc, but after years in retail, I do know customer... -

How did you start wearing hats?
I've worn some form of cap off and on for a lot of years. I started with ball caps at work to keep my longish hair under control and for a little extra bump protection. A few years ago, I started going to a local blues CD store/hat shop. That's when I decided, why not be different. You don't...
