    The Curse of Indiana Jones

    I was wearing a taupe fawn Camp Draft and a workmate said "You look like...", he paused to think. I was thinking...Indiana Jones? Dick Tracy?...No...It finally clicked with him..."Columbo!" Huh? Never saw Peter Falk wear a hat in the show.

    Akubra Overload

    I have a carbon grey Fed IV and it's dressy. Dressier than the Squatter or Camp Draft, IMO. If the GF doesn't feel she'd look good in the hat, she may not feel good in the hat.

    New guy needs advice (you probably get that a lot)

    I think the Stylemaster idea is good. I like the Camp Draft, but with so much pedestrian traffic in NY, seems like you could take someones eye out with that big old brim. I don't have a Stylemaster, but all the photos of Loungers I see here wearing one look great.

    New Tweed Caps

    I voted E, I wear flat caps more often than newsboys. E has a longer bill, all my flat cap bills are shorter.

    No Sam, this was the hat and I nipped it in the bud. :)

    Wavy brimmed Akubra

    Believe it or not. I fought this same issue on a Squatter. I kept stretching by draping over my knee. A few years back and memory is fuzzy, but I discovered a thread sewn from the inner band to the side of the hat. I snipped the thread, stretched again and that made the difference. The...

    Your favorite hat marketing terms

    I was thinking of 'Gangster' also. Everyone knows they were the only men who wore fedoras back in the day.

    Anti Baseball Cap League?

    Hows this for a ball cap.

    Wouldn't a ball cap with a top hat image be the appropriate headwear with a tuxedo t-shirt? Depending on the gun involved of course. :)
