    hats in the heat : with or without liner ?

    My hair was greasy enough by itself. I never used brylcreem, I was a Vitalis kid. Pour a little of that magical V7 into my palm, work it through my hair, and I had a nice alcohol smell to go with my naturally greasy hair. Now all I have to do is give the ole noggin a shine now and again. No more...

    hats in the heat : with or without liner ?

    I live in Florida, hot and humid most of the year, and I wear hats everyday and mostly felt.

Then I'll...

    Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?

    I suppose if I wear a nice wide ribbon Knox from the 1940's, ( a sweet hat, BTW) with jeans, topsiders, and a collarless pullover shirt, I'm not properly dressed. Since I'm not properly dressed, I'm exempt from the proper dress and proper behavior code of the said, aforementioned time period...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I've been wearing hats a long time. It's been quite a while since I've gotten a negative hat comment...I can't even remember. When I am occasionally discovered without a hat, I usually get a comment. " Where's your hat?" F_M

    Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?

    Yesterday I was in the sitting area of a crowded restaurant, sitting at a table with my hat on the table across from me. I had taken the last table, a small table for two, in the restaurant. A man came in, looking for a place to sit, looked like he had been working all day. I picked up my hat...

    Real Panama OR. Now That's What I'm Talkin' About!

    Thanks guys. Yes, it's a fairly nice llano weave, about 18per, nice and uniform with a nice color. It certainly needed a nice sweatband. The bonded sweat that didn't survive the stretcher tore like tearing a piece of medium weight construction paper. The nice thing about the straw, the holes are...

    Leddy Rebuild Got my Leddy Cuenca OR style in the mail. Put the hat stretcher to it and the bonded sweat turned into this: [/IMG] So I sewed in a leather sweat taken out of a moth eaten Stetson, and put on a green grosgrain ribbon. Nice Cuenca. Got a summer lid! [/IMG] [/IMG]
