    Post New Hats Here!

    I've seen it worn in Spain in the Basque part of the country with the excess worn forward as in a flat cap. The side to which military berets are worn depends on the country from which the uniform originates. We Dutch wear it to the right, as the Brits and also the US do, but the French for...

    psychology of the hat wearer

    When I'm wearing a hat I'm inclined to act and feel more polite and civilised, with more inner calm. It's not that I'm otherwise considering myself to be rude or anything, but still... it's just that extra bit. Can it have something to do with being noticed and/or being expected to be a...

    How did you start wearing hats?

    Don't laugh, but for me it was the Australian TV series McLeod's Daughters. My wife and daughter were watching it and I noticed the tough looking hats the characters were wearing. I don't think I'd wear a true Western hat but this was something else. I'd had to have a hat like that and ordered...

    Military experiences.

    I've served as a doctor in the Royal Netherlands Army and was deployed to Afghanistan. I agree with mikepara and tangoyankee amongst others; don't wear uniform items you haven't earned. You're bringing yourself down. There's no shame in not being a super duper commando, there is in pretending...

    The Return of The Three Piece Suit

    Gentlemen, Is the threepiece suit discussion an American thing? On this side of the ocean I wouldn't really consider a threepiece something special or striking. Admittedly, here in Holland stylishness is becoming a rarity, but if a suit is worn, a proper suit that is, it's as often three...

    Indiana Jones Grey Hat

    OK, I know it's not to everybody's taste, but I like a feather on my hats. And I just ordered a Fed4 moonstone. What colour feather would complement it best in your opinion? Or is this off topic?

    Posting our Fed IV's, yet!

    I'm convinced. I'm so convinced that I ordered it.

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    Also from military experience; when it's wet, cold, or both, you don't want canvas, you want goretex. And a hotel. But as the hotel's probably not going to happen, you'll want goretex, especially when you have to carry your stuff on your back. And then you don't want a canvas rucksack, but a...

    Blech...holey hat.

    Be glad! You now have THE legitimate reason to buy a new lid. And you don't even have to throw your old one out. AND you don't have to be careful with it anymore. So patch it up and keep on raiding!

    country fedora

    My choice should have been made easier instead of harder, though I should have known better of course ;). I thank you all for your counsel. I can now do only one thing, save up and buy at least a couple of the suggested hats. And I must have one of those coats!

    country fedora

    Great picture! Indeed, I do perform housecalls. There's nothing like a good housecall at 4 in the morning at a cold farmhouse, that's real medicine for you, no kidding! Being indoors all day in a hospital (however warm and comfortable it may be) would not suit me. As for the jacket: I take...

    country fedora

    Dear All, Although on the other side of the ocean for much of you I enjoy this forum very much! I'm a bit of an Akubra fan, and like to wear their outdoor hats whenever I can, though I try to avoid a "cowboy" look. However, I've decided it's time to project a little more "country chic", and...

    Wearing a hat at the office

    IMHO etiquette is about making the other person feel comfortable, and if your hat makes one feel one is dealing with a competent and correct person then I say, wear it! Strictly following rules is no objective in itself. Personnally I'd take it off when dressed formally, but wouldn't mind...
