Do any of you guys follow any type of hat etiquette?
Let's flip the script then. Since I am arguing that rules and norms are socially constructed and inherently arbitrary, how do you propose that there is a universally objective definition of slob? -
Do any of you guys follow any type of hat etiquette?
If the rule is no longer followed, it's not a rule. Whether that comes from a lack of knowledge of said rules, or an explicit rejection of said rules, at such point when a majority of a society no longer accepts the rule as valid, it no longer breaks etiquette. -
Do any of you guys follow any type of hat etiquette?
To you, apparently not. The salient question is whether or not your view is representative of the public at large. I would argue you are in the minority. Therefore, everything I already wrote still applies. Ok, well, this is not a cogent response as to why one piece of etiquette is an... -
Do any of you guys follow any type of hat etiquette?
If it is accepted by that Church without repercussion, then yes, it is the norm for that specific community. An act, in and of itself, does not become accepted simply because it exists. It has to be integrated into the social structure. No, it means that the rules have changed. If a "rule"... -
Do any of you guys follow any type of hat etiquette?
Considering that most men don't follow strict hat etiquette, I think this strains credulity. Regardless, my point is that etiquette is predicated on norms. When something is no longer the norm, by definition, it ceases to break the rules of etiquette. How so? All are acts of etiquette... -

Do any of you guys follow any type of hat etiquette?
If you understand it as a "free for all," than you're misunderstanding what is being said. The argument is not so much that "everyone is doing it," and more that social mores have changed. Let me take a specific example. Traditional hat etiquette says that one should doff their hat in an... -
Do any of you guys follow any type of hat etiquette?
If you find it to be a problem, than it is problematic for you. As a social scientist, I find no reason to believe that the decline of hat etiquette poses any sort of "problem" within society at large. Social mores always change and evolve. -
Do any of you guys follow any type of hat etiquette?
It's not that we have no manners anymore, it's that your conception of manners is no longer considered valid. Cultural/societal rules and etiquette are norms based. Therefore when they cease to be the norm, that "rule" falls away. Hat etiquette is not the norm. The new norm says it's ok to... -
Are the Akubra Campdraft and Bushman the same hat?
No. The Bushman has a wider brim and chin hook grommets. For future reference, the "ask a question, get an answer" thread stickied at the top of the forum is in place for questions like this. -
Musician's hats
I've always like Jakob Dylan's beat up Gay Prince (or Gay Prince lookalike): -

Ask a question, get an answer
Unlikely that anyone here will be able to give you an exact match. It looks to be a low quality, mass produced modern hat. Searching for ventilated straw hats will get you in the ballpark. But that hat is really a take on the handwoven semi calado style Panama hats. -

Side By Side/ Hat Comparisons
Art's is closer to the film hat in color and proportion. The Optimo hat has a 2" brim...it may be 2 1/8 though. Optimo currently sells their Dillinger with a 2" brim, although comparing my hat to the film hat, it seems like it may have been 2 1/8". Both nice hats however. Here's my Optimo... -
Ask a question, get an answer
I second Mr. Allen. Wear the hat, don't let it wear you. I certainly don't dress to the 9s in western wear to don my "cowboy hats.' -

Ask a question, get an answer
You know, I might be the crazy one, but I wear hats with both a cattleman's crease and Ft. Worth crease around the city. I certainly don't think of it as a faux pas -
Akubra Campdraft
Better sweatbands and a higher percentage of wild hare fur in the felt, resulting in a more resilient felt. -
Re-blocking a hat.
Both should be possible by a competent hatter, although there's a possibility that the Stetson will require a new sweatband. -
