Hats in restaurants
So true - guys just don't wear hats that much any more. -

Hats in restaurants
A matter of style, it seems to me. One could imagine a scale. On the low end, someone who dresses as though he were alone on this earth, with no one to see him (or no one who matters.) This person might wear a hat for comfort - one of the local mental cases whom I haven't seen for a while... -

Hats in restaurants
It's not the century, it's just that her posture etc. doesn't say "boss." Of the two, she does look like the one with a real job, though, if that helps. -

Hats in restaurants
The guy looks like a crook to me. The woman has just caught on, like yesterday or sometime in the last couple weeks, and because she's implicated in some way - maybe his bookkeeper? - she's bitterly disappointed but not free to just walk away. He's trying to sell her some BS. There were... -

Western dress hat (Black) - Advice
Now has a little more pinch than it did in this picture. Taking a tip from another thread, this turns out to have been pretty near a "tycoon" crease, as shown here on a Mackey hat: -

Western dress hat (Black) - Advice
That's a very different situation. Outside a western hat cultural context, it's going to be about movies and other such imagery, along with whatever random real life examples that may pop up. Personally, in principle my idea would be like Tonyb's, a hat that makes a kind of style bridge... -

The Conversion Corral
Looks like it might be a lot like my Bailey. It came to me with a sort of random western center dent crease, and a broad side curl ... so, while this isn't really a conversion, it's toned down a little. I took it on a recent trip to Austin, Texas. Where I saw hardly anyone wearing a... -

Found a nice hat at a great price but....
I have their `wool felt derby', evidently made by the same manufacturer. It looks and feels pretty good, in my opinion. -

Clint Eastwood's Western Hats
Might also be possible to find similar garments in use in Argentina and neighboring countries. The Argentine source I know of offers ponchos that aren't gaudy at all - but they're cotton, sadly, so I'm not sure what the point is. Maybe they wear them to the office. -

Steamer or kettle?
Well, to be precise about it, what you're looking at there, is not steam - you can't really see steam. What you can see is the water vapor condensing out as the steam cools. That's my very possibly confused understanding. My suspicion is that in that billowing cloud of "steam" I get, there... -

"Bash." Not a hatter's term?
Didn't say I can't, but I won't when speaking to (for example) my neighbor who is a milliner, because neither of us are Australian. -

Steamer or kettle?
Indeed, probably more. But - I'm just guessing - it may not be quite as hot? The hat sure doesn't get real hot. Maybe sometime I should see what happens without the wand tip in place. -

"Bash." Not a hatter's term?
I am grateful that this thread popped up, not because there's any mystery about what the word might mean - it's obvious enough in context - but because I could have used it outside this place, and now I know not to. I took that to be the main point. -

OK, here's your picture of the espresso machine hat ruining station: -

A few questions
I suppose that's true to some extent, but you know the really right color is red (I mean really red, not `wine' for goodness sake!) You will note that baseball caps are frequently seen in predominately red color schemes, and are of course they will normally be worn with blue jeans. -

Current production Fedora makers (Not Custom)
This Broner's tag claimed US manufacture, but I'm sure you're right. Maybe the part that's made in the US is the tag. That LiteFelt "wool" ... no doubt genuine, but something kind of creepy about it. I didn't wear it anywhere, as I intended to return it, but in the couple of minutes it spent... -

Current production Fedora makers (Not Custom)
Just to set the record straight: he was lying. I returned the Broner in exchange for a real Golden Gate, and the latter is similar design but not the same material. The LiteFelt in the Broner hat is sort of weirdly supple and velvety, for wool. The "Softee" material in Golden Gate's similar... -

The Resistol Roundup
This one had more brim curl and a kind of odd cowboy crease. Not a Resistol - sorry! - but to the point of what to do with those things - for me, the crease and brim curl commonly found on cowboy hats is as out of place in my part of the world as a coonskin cap, but that big brim looks a lot... -

Berets, Anyone?
I suppose this is more or less pedantry, but as far as I know all inches are the same length too, 2.54 cm. The unit we're translating as "inch" here is really pulgada, isn't it? For me, it's an erroneous translation, given that it isn't really an inch. -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Not I, but I notice that the Stetson insignia on the sweatband looks like my hat, sadly minus the "LONG OVAL". Beaver stands to the left of a rectangular box, etc. They used that one for a long time? I was thinking mine would be more recent, like maybe '90s but really no clue.
