    HELP I'm writing a paper for school...

    1. Why do you wear a fedora of all hats, what does it mean to you? It a 'Golden Era' affinity and it's NOT a baseball cap. 2. What made you want to wear the hat? Had my Dad's old fedora but it didn't fit me. Saw the old pictures of him and decided that's what I wanted. The movies with...

    What sparked your fascination with the "Golden Era"?

    My 'Golden Era' father, born in 1901. He saw it all, the Wright Brothers to the Gemini orbits. He was 10 when the Titanic sank, 16 when the Great War ended, 25 when Lingbergh crossed the Atlantic, 35 when the Hindenburg went down... I think you get the picture. He was a walking, talking...

    Is this hat too tall for me?

    IMHO, as it were, so to speak. There is way too much concern over this hat. Folks, it's a hat! It looks great! Torpedo has a face - and a head. It's his face and head. It looks great with that hat on top of it! All this reminds my of the "stitch counters" involved in reenacting; nothing...

    I look like a goon in my new hat.

    Let me tell you, when I was a kid that hat fell down over my ears and would spin around like a top! Now it sits like flower pot on the top of my head! When I was little, my Dad seemed like a giant - I find it hard to believe his head was so small - I'm a 7.5 myself! I don't really wear...

    The State of Florida Collection

    Wow! And not a sweat-ring amongst 'em! I grew up in South Florida and perspired for seventeen years straight! Now I live in the Arizona desert and can only wear my hats for about six months a year without fear of ruining them with perspiration stains. How do you do it? -dixon cannon

    On giving your opinions of photographs showing fellow Loungers wearing their new hats

    That's me to a 'T'! I can take constructive advise, but I don't feel obligated to follow it! I love hats - particularly on me!! :rolleyes: .. so any pics I've posted are up for ridicule and critique I suppose. But if I didn't like 'em myself, I wouldn't put 'em up on the WWW. In reality...
