    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I want to thank the good folks on this forum. You guys gave me courage and inspiration! I started wearing hats 2 weeks ago. At first I felt strange and embarrassed, going to work at a huge midtown law firm in a hat. Farther downtown is fine because there are lots of stingy brims and pork...

    Does anyone wear an "Optimo"-style Panama? I don't mean the company but the rollable type of Panama with the crease along the crown... I love those but haven't seen them in the wild yet!!

    Another stingy-brim straw diamond crown from Biltmore. This one is black. I have a navy blue one too. I like the low crown, and it sits low on the head too. It's like halfway between a porkpie and a fedora. I haven't worn it brim-up yet. But I'm beginning to like that look more and more...

    I don't really like this hat I got this one at a really good price from J.J./Pork Pie Hatters. But I don't like it very much. I think it's the color, the looseness of weave. It reminds me of the $19 hats sold by the street vendors in lower Manhattan. Kinda generic even though it does have...

    Alan, there's something just right about that hat, to my untrained eye. The miles have seasoned it. T Barrow, I'm digging that ribbon. More later, gotta go!

    Welcome from another newbie. It's the same thing here with the baseball caps and family history. For protection during summer hikes and hanging out at the beach, I wear Zinc Oxide sunblock, with boonie hats, a 3"-brim "Joe Fedora" or a 3" Tilley Airflo in olive drab. But any other time, I'm...

    Tommy and Facade, thanks for the advice! Most of my tastes come from vintage inspiration like old movies and photos. So I can see myself getting into collecting vintage. Education first! Any recommended reading? --Greg

    How about bowling shirts and hats? I'm still new to the hat thing. It seems to me that besides Hawaiian shirts, retro 50s and 60s-style bowling shirts would also go well with hats. I'm thinking of the kind of shirts that are sold by Daddyo's. There are probably better places to go - but I...

    Hawaiian shirts and fedoras

    Carter, are those Optimos in your avatar and the photo above? Foldable? I'm still a newcomer here, but I think they are a great match for Aloha shirts. I plan to pick up an Optimo for my Hawaii trip this December.

    Diamond Milan straw 1.5" brim by Biltmore Since the photo was taken, I put a blue band on it that matches the hat's color. Sorry for the washed-out, overly yellow-hued photo!
