“WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...
“Yeah, what the hell, someone will buy it.” -
The International Wool Felt Consortium
I’m not disparaging anyone’s choices or product, but I don’t see a hat which can’t be worn in the rain as a useful hat. -
Show us their hats!
The mark of true genius is the ability to simplify what others find hopelessly complex. -Me- 2022 -
The International Wool Felt Consortium
Are you forgetting the widely unloved Yugo? I think they cost US $3999, but they didn’t run very long. -
The International Wool Felt Consortium
I’m a bit confused here. I have never worried about any of my Akubra hats or my Rand’s getting rained on, so I’m a bit puzzled by the statement that a $200 Stetson needs “maintenance” if exposed to rain. A good fur felt hat, with a wide brim, can transform a miserable experience in the rain to... -

Post New Hats Here!
I figured someone who knew what he was talking about would pop up and correct me if I was off base. Live & learn, and thanks. (I would still giggle) -
Post New Hats Here!
My personal opinion is that if a guy showed up in any small western town wearing that hat, there would at least be some snickering, if not outright displays of amusement. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
I hereby cast one (1) vote for “Brim Down”. -
Post New Hats Here!
I don’t wish to appear to be argumentative, but I really don’t see that hat as western at all. -

Hers is very becoming, and looks really good on her. -

Fedora for my face shape (pics)
I’m not altogether convinced that wearing the right hat will truly keep you “moving forward and improving yourself” so why not put that all aside and just enjoy the journey. Wear what you like …… it’s your head, your hat, and your money. -
Western, anyone?
Spend time in the Amazonian and other South American rain forests and you may come back with your head shrunk. A possible problem is it will be the size of a large orange, so not many vintage hats will fit after all. -

Akubra Territory - any thoughts on it?
The Riverina is a is a Coober Pedy with a wider brim, and the Territory is a Cattleman with a wider brim. -

So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
In my much younger days I wore Levi’s and I’m not Jewish. I guess we Goyim had better stop all that cultural appropriation right now.- Who?

Ask a question, get an answer
I hereby second the motion. Note: it takes a real frog-strangler to soak a hat like this, or quite a while in a moderate rain. Even then, your head may not get wet. (maybe if it's unlined, all of my hats are lined) -
Ask a question, get an answer
I don’t own a fur felt hat that I haven’t worn in the rain, but mine are not vintage hats. From what I remember, it rained in the 30s and 40s, and men wore their hats. Perhaps there is something I’m missing here. (edited to add the word “fur” before the word “felt” in the first sentence, to... -
Western, anyone?
Have you considered just retiring the baseball cap, and wearing that fine hat instead?
