Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?
Kissing a woman's hand and calling her "M'lady"? Seriously? Of course they're creeped out. That has nothing to do with hats, and is certainly not hat etiquette. Maybe Renaissance Fair etiquette. You'd better be wearing tights to pull that stuff off, because you would have been laughed at 200... -

Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?
Funny you should mention that. I was trying to remember why my last period of hat-wearing came to an end, and I think that's it. Sports bike, no real storage. Helmet laws. There's just no way... -

Akubra Campdraft
For whatever it's worth, I'm a pretty standard 7 5/8 myself, that's what fits in a modern Stetson, '70s Bailey, vintage Mallory, 61 in Borsalino. I only have one Campdraft, but I have four other Akubras, and they are all size 61. All of them fit loose when I got them, some more, some less. One...
