    The nicest comment I ever heard

    I tell them since I started wearing a fedora people don't cut me off in traffic.

    The nicest comment I ever heard

    Wearing a light colored fedora leaving church a little girl asked "Are you a cowboy?" :-) I told her I was a gangster. I don't think she knew what that meant.

    How Did Your Hat Come In Handy Today?

    Baron, Was it perhaps a toad? I have had frogs and toads living in my planter boxes this summer. Cool and wet, I guess they like it. My fedora kept my head dry Saturday when an offshoot of Hurricane Isaac came thru.

    Park service hat reuse?

    I think Jane Hathaway's bird watching club wore that type of hat. It certainly would be appropriate for a hike in the woods.

    Hats at London 2012

    Definitley more hats on the athletes this time. I would guess it simply reflects the current popularity of the stingy brim.

    Oddest thing you've found under a hat's sweatband, vintage or new.

    Slightly off-topic, I bought a suit at Goodwill for a Halloween outfit and found a funeral card for someone who died 15 years before. I suppose that was the last time the suit was worn.

    Suddenly, I'm seeing hats everywhere!

    I was in NYC and Philly last week and fedoras were everywhere. Unfortunately they were the narrow brim $20 cheapies they sell on every street corner there. Mostly straw. I did see a handful of quality fedoras and several were on ladies. Women apparently are not afraid to pay for quality...

    The Yoga Pants trend

    I know exactly what you mean. As a carnal man I can't help but be captivated by the sight. But as a human being with a wife and daughter it is simply a sign of the coarsening of the culture. And that saddens me. If you want tittilating scenery there are plenty of places to find it but to have it...

    How common is the wind string?

    I bought a beautiful vintage Selentino fedora from a lounger and found it had an elastic band which apparently is called a "wind string" (or I may have the nomenclature wrong). Being a newbie to all this I gather this is the sign of a well made hat. Any thoughts would be welcome. Just...
