Youuurreee Ooouuut!

September and May, Bob?

Thought it had something to do with baseball, when the last game you tossed your straw boater onto the flied.

Depends on where you live...

I live in Dallas and it makes no sense for me to wear a felt hat when it is still hotter than blazes in November. So... I make use of a transition period when the season changes in spring and fall. That is, I wear straws if the weather is appropriate or felt likewise. Perhaps hard and fast dates are more appropriate up north where the weather changes are more pronounced.

FWIW

Agreed. In California it is the same.

Same in Florida, but I wear felt hats because with Panama's in Florida you look like a Tourist in a lot of places. Welcome DD to the lounge. :cheers1: -on me.

Being a Northerner, I can tell you that there is no clear point of transition here. Sure, you could go by the old "don't wear white after..." idea, but that's kind of silly, too. Even up north. I've found myself alternating from felt to straw frequently in spring and fall... and I never wear white. That's just asking for a mustard stain!

Dan, I don't believe there are any old folks on this forum to verify your statement.:drum:

However that are a few (of us) who have been around a while.:cheers1:
