How do you react to intrusive hat price questions and/or unwanted hat touchings?
If I know much about the person, I usually frame the cost reply it terms they can understand. For instance, I had a acquaintance one time ask me hat price while he was holding a Starbucks latte. I replied, I could buy one of these a month and it would be much,much less than a Starbucks a day. Or...- Florida_Marlin

The Curse of Indiana Jones
Sat on my porch after I got home from work on Halloween night. I went in and put on a leather jacket to go with my heritage fawn Fed IV. Didn't get any Indiana Jones comments, although a boy came up with an Indy costume. I complimented him on his cool looking hat!- Florida_Marlin

Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
Ordered a Stetsonian, really looking forward to receiving it. I like seeing all the new prototypes, like "The Scholar", but I'm waiting to see the quality on the Stetsonian before I order any more. Thought about getting both Stetsonian and Stratoliner, but decided to wade in vs dive in.- Florida_Marlin

Do any of you guys follow any type of hat etiquette?
When I got out to eat, I'm never rude,and I always practice good manners. It's just that your ideas of rudeness and good manners are no longer generally accepted, and it's obvious by simple observation. You cannot accept the obvious, so you resort to calling people rude and ill mannered, which...- Florida_Marlin

Do any of you guys follow any type of hat etiquette?
Common sense dictates that a hat is to be placed on the head. There is nothing intuitive about taking a hat off to eat, since it doesn't cover my mouth. Not wanting to put my hat on the floor is not an"excuse". An "excuse" implies that there is something for which I need to be excused. I don't...- Florida_Marlin

Do any of you guys follow any type of hat etiquette?
Not a decline in manners and etiquette. Manners and etiquette have changed, just like they continuously have, throughout time. Luckily, humans are highly adaptable, and can adjust, or even thrive, in the manners and etiquette of their contemporary society. Manners and etiquette are decided by...- Florida_Marlin

Do any of you guys follow any type of hat etiquette?
I have a picture on my wall, it's one of my favorites. It was taken by my daughter a few Thanksgivings ago, in Keaton Beach Florida. It's a picture of my lovely wife and I, sitting on some rocks at waterside. She is holding my face between her hands, giving me a big ole kiss. The Knox 20 is...- Florida_Marlin

Akubra Overload
Convertable Campdraft Here's my Campdraft convertable. I took a brown ribbon and sewed it together so it makes a snug fit over my campdraft and then steamed it to get a good fit. Now I can slide the ribbon off or on to suit me if I'm in a thin or wide ribbon mood day. Also have always liked the...- Florida_Marlin

New to hats, came across this for a bargain after deciding to pursue a collection
I agree, 1960's era Stetson western Clear Beavers and 100's are pretty much worthless. If you have any of those old dirty rags laying around, put them in a box and send them to me. I promise to dispose of them in a responsible manner!- Florida_Marlin

Going Away Gift - A New Hat!!!
I'd be all over that Imperial Stetson. I'd plop it on my kitchen table, crease it three or four different ways, then wear it out the door,the last way it was creased. Tomorrow, I might crease it another way. My point being, a nice old open crown Stetson from that era would be easy to hand crease...- Florida_Marlin

Fedora Lounge Edition {Everything Australian } Akubra Camp Draft 2 5/8s brim
In the article, ZZ Top's publicist said, "Dusty Hill walked into Ector County Coliseum wearing his hat, and when he left the hat was gone,” Merlis said. “It sounds silly, but it’s a big drag separating a Texan from his favorite hat – that’s harsh.” Doesn't sound silly to me at all. It's pretty...- Florida_Marlin

The philosophy of hats
Same reason I wear shoes. I could walk around bare footed. I used to walk around bare footed all the time, when I was a young'un. I have different shoes for different purposes. I could walk around bare headed, but I wear hats to suit a purpose, protect the old bald noggin. Since I'm going to...- Florida_Marlin
