    Which Presidents Wore Hats>?

    Why leave out other world leaders? Let's not forget that some world leaders became so identified with their hat that it was named after them. I think even in the UK today their are some who call certain types of homburgs an "Anthony Eden hat".

    Hats/caps - what to wear for the date?

    I say dress how you normally dress on your first date. If you usually wear a suit, either because of work or personal choice then wear a suit. If you normally wear jeans and a t-shirt dress that way as well. If your nervous because you think your date may "under or over dress" compared to what...

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    Some people believe we live in a "pretend world", because we wear hats, and some of us hats and suits. Many have heard the insults "Who do you think you are? Indiana Jones/Eliot Ness/ Al Capone/ A pimp/ gangster". If I was afraid of being different from the norms of the modern age, I wouldn't...

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    The simplest way for me to answer the question of "When should a man take off his hat?" is to think "In this situation would I wear an overcoat, and leather gloves?". When you sit down to eat (especially if you are eating with someone else at a half way decent restaurant) you'd take off your...

    Spare a dime for a famous millionaire actor?

    I hear you. I also have a rule about giving money to beggars, but if he was wearing a bowler hat I'd just have to for the sake of it lol.

    The OFFICIAL Sinatra Hat

    I'm still searching for a look alike to his famous bluish gray summer hat myself. If they got a deal to start selling them, and they actually looked halfway like the original I'd buy it. But that's wool felt hat... just no... Although it maybe a way to get a few more people interested in hats...

    Prom

    We had that rule, and I believe the school still does enforce it, although I'm not sure. Admittedly I haven't bee back since I graduated, but I haven't heard of it being revoked. It's a very old rule, and today I can't even say I disagree with it :p. Basically if you went outside for any...

    JFK no hatless Jack

    They may have a few publicity shots, but it was them and other "youth icons" of the late 60's early 70's who really killed the hat for a generation. When the hat became a symbol of the establishment the younger gents stopped (or never started) wearing them, and largely the middle aged...

    Like most modern Presidents, the current White House occupant isn't much of a hat wearer.

    who invented fur felt

    Like most thing, I think hat making evolved over time. Process being learned by old fashion trial and error. As they say "We are all dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants." I do know that Borsa Lino was a good movie though ;-).

    Which Presidents Wore Hats>?

    That really isn't true. Eisenhower didn't like wearing a top hat and didn't for either of his inaugurations. Instead wearing a homburg, which traumatized Truman supposedly, because he thought a President should always wear a top hat at such occasions, but he followed suit since Eisenhower was...

    Poll: Dean Martin or Bing Crosby?

    Anytime a child of someone who was successful fails following in their parents footsteps, and instead start publishing story about the "horrors" of their childhood the cynic in me just rolls my eyes. Follow the money as they say, I just don't believe it. As the old saying goes about gossip...

    Poll: Dean Martin or Bing Crosby?

    I know it's opening a can of worms but that isn't usually universally accepted in the Crosby family itself. AS Philip Crosby said.. I always have a hard time believing everything the children of the famous say about their parents, especially when books and money are involved.
