Two happy teen-age girls, who don't know me from Harrison Ford, joyously waved at me. I saw them, a few minutes later, at "our favorite discount store." When they caught sight of me, they started giggling and whispering to each other. To tell you the truth, I didn't mind one bit!

Honestly this is my problem with wearing hats and even sometimes suits in general. I don't want to appear to be "fetishistic" or something, or playing dress up. Its not my fault that everyone dresses in an ugly manner, but i am not trying to attract attention. For that reason i tend to be more low key and haven't worn any fedora or head covering in awhile (well that and for other reasons as well). Once I get a better quality fedora though, i may change that, but still there's always that bothersome feeling that someone may think i'm trying to be trendy, or "hip" or something. I just find them aesthetically pleasing. But there is some truth to it as well- its one thing to dress nicely, .. another to go playing dress up. Just because something looks "cool" or good doesn't mean one should go around wearing it daily. Hell, i think early SS uniforms were aesthetically near perfect, likewise for the NKVD ones, but you won't see me on the street dressed as one!ScottyBlues said:Truthfully, I am looking forward to seeing the film. However, I'm someone whose interest in wearing fedoras has nothing to do with those films. I wear fedoras every day and everywhere I go. I rarely get comments about Indiana Jones, probably because I tend to dress in a more elegant manner than pairing it with a leather jacket. Still, I'm worried that the film will provoke comparisons.
I always find it odd that so many people think we wear hats because we are trying to look or be like someone. The only person I'm trying to look or be like is me. The fedora matches my self image.
I might have to dust off my Homburg for a while to avoid these issues.

Indeed, Solidarity amongst hat wearers!rokket said:Maguire, I hear what you're saying, mate. But then, I look at a lot of wild outfits that are drawing attention (Goth, Punk, Plain Wild!), and I do notice that no one is outwardly going bug-eyed at them, and that the wearers are enjoying themselves!
There is a difference, as you say, between making a statement/dressing up, and just looking good, and others may not see that. I wish I could comfortably wear 1880s outfits with out the above! But unless very rich, I'm afraid people would think I was odd.
BUT, that's not going to stop me from wearing my hat, or from putting together a nice 40s suit! Put on the hat and who cares what others think? As you walk around, know that you have a lot of "brothers and sisters" wearing hats too!
the beauty of not watching TV means i'm going to go into it pretty much without expectations. TV really is a poison on the mind.The Wolf said:Actually I already dread how much the movie is being advertised.
That didn't stop me from taking my kids to Burger King... and buying a kids meal to get the Indy toy....O.K. I got one for me too to get the journal....alright I'll admit I thought it was cool.
That's all I'll admit for now.
Sincerely,
The Wolf
