Hat tricks
Chap-O There used to be a really good site devoted to the "Chap-O" now since offline dedicated to this sort of thing. You can buy the Chap-O at http://www.legerdomain.com/chap-o.htm and there is a little bit of the history of the game. A good parlour game for fellow hat addicts! -
How did you start wearing hats?
I started when I was about 18. I had a pretty big thing for Indy, Noir films, Blues brothers, and the 30's and 40's style in my teenage years so I saved up and bought a black Stetson. Probably seeing Millers Crossing was also a big influence. The hat (and others) got a fair use and by University... -

Recommendations for a Tailor in Melbourne?
Travellers in Collingwood (just outside the Melbourne central business district) is pretty good. I posted some photos on the above thread of a suit I had made there. The suits are high quality and the detail is excellent. One word of warning. Be very specific about what you want. The head... -

The Chap movement
I've always hoped for a Colonial section for those Commonwealth events. Love the Chap - I bought a subscription for work just to broaden some dull lives! I often see it being read by all sorts so hopefully some new Anarcho-dandyists being born.- Godfrey

Do hats get women?
As an old married man I'm supposed to say other women are of no interest! However I find it interesting that the women I get along with are often the ones that seem most delighted to find I'm a hat wearer. I think its not only that it attracts women but it attracts the right sort! They are... -
Do You "Like" the Indiana Jones Comment?
I actually dont get it that often. But when I do its time for a bit of a wise crack. Eg: (With chinese accent) "You call me Mr. Jones" "Fortune and glory, kid. Fortune and glory." I like it a bit - but then again it always says more about the person who feels the need to make the comment. -

The Cap Faction
Great caps! Do I take it from the above quote that you had the cap made or made it yourself? -
Is it just me....
Arrrgggg!!! Then again I wonder if you can get cannons to come out? I fear the day I see this monstrosity sail past me. Seriously someone at Bailey is smoking crack. -
Is it just me....

Buster and the Bluegrassy Knoll I'm not sure if you all had the chance to see the Bluegrassy Knoll do one of their Live film scores to a Buster Movie. Its been years since they have done one and it looks like they are back to do Sherlock Jr for the Jazz Festival. They are playing on the 4th of...- Godfrey

ANZAC Day 2010
Dawn service if I'm able - listen to a tape of my Grandfather telling me his stories of the Merchant Navy in WW2 if I feel maudlin. Look though my Great grandfathers stuff from WW1 western front if I feel proud. Talk to my dad and lay some flowers at the Boer war monument in Royal Parade in...- Godfrey

Sounds like a great idea. I've missed the last few Melbourne ones and it would be great to meet up. I've not seen Spatt about for a bit. His blog (http://www.iwearahat.com/) has also been pretty quiet.- Godfrey
