    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    Yes, you're dodging the point about the distinction I'm making. Which leads to this strawman... I'm not indifferent to offending people. I'm indifferent to offending people to hold onto irrelevant notions of what constitutes "etiquette" and "common courtesy" that are outside of the accepted...

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    I'm sorry, I don't see the connection between the quotes above and the idea that one does not or should not "care what other people think of you." What I see is some folks that think that some of the particular niceties of hat etiquette don't apply or are otherwise irrelevant. I think you've...

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    For comparison, GQ says: http://www.gq.com/style/style-guy/accessories/200305/hat-etiquette " In a public building, a man may keep his hat on in the corridors and in elevators. When one enters a room, one should remove one’s hat. Once upon a time, a man was supposed to remove his hat if a...

    Brian, both good looks, but your lid in the second portrait looks like a knockout. IMHO Resistol is an overlooked brand.

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    Well, I simply do not agree that is the case for the majority of the general population. It certainly is not the case for my geographical region where I have seen all sorts of hats, cheaper and nicer; in all sorts of locales, cheaper and nicer. Otherwise, it stands to reason that the wearing...

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    People can ask if the earth is flat, that doesn't make the flat earth society relevant. It's like, if a woman curtseys as a greeting, it's not as if the average person is going to have no idea what that gesture means (although kids these days, you never know). But a curtsey just isn't how...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Reducing hat size

    Pad the sweat, it should shrink/conform over time.

    Need hat advice

    Paul's Hat Works on Geary out in the sunset does reflanges for $20 the last I checked. It's my understanding that Goorin also operates some sort of custom service out of their North Beach store, but I never venture to that part of the city.
