Hat stolen!!!!

[HeyMoe]

I just can't wear a hat on my head when eating. So what I do if at a restaurant with no extra chair and no hat hook is place it on my knee with an extra cloth napkin over my lid. I do like the plastic bag idea though.

Really, even when dining al fresco?

I guess I'm a bit of the barbarian as I will readily eat with my hat on. Getting your hat stolen like that is such a raw deal -- to me there's nothing in this world worse than a thief. You have my deepest sympathy.

Justin, I think this is the first time I've read of a stolen hat since I've been here.

Sorry it had to happen to you and I hope you get it back - even if it's unlikely.

I'm happily in the "wear my hat if there isn't a convenient and safe place for it" camp. So many people are wearing different types of headwear, even in nice places that I think the old hat rules are just that - old hat rules!

I disagree, Blackthorn, you are one of the classiest people I know. I travel through out Europe alot for work. I always wear a hat, and there usuaully is no place, not even an extra chair to put it on. That is why I TRY to eat ouside on side walk, weather permitting, I can keep my hat on, and its not too bad.

Why, thank you, Azhiker, I truly appreciate your kind words!

Here it is uncreased, as I recieved it. Has a dry bashed diamond crease now.

That photo adds another dimension of ouch. Sorry for that loss Justin.

To each thier own. I look at my hat like I did my weapon in the military: never more than an arms reach away and the only way someone is going to take it from me is after I am dead or mostly dead.

Then again, I never did play well with others

This goes back about thirty years so I'm not sure how good my memory is or if it is still the case, but in Bavaria men wore felt hats with big tufts of chamois hair on on side. Someone explained to me that the tuft was very expensive an so men never removed their hat when they were out.

That should go for my Optimos too.

Haha, I applaud this, sir. Just wearing a hat in this day and age already means you don't really care what people think of you. You like the style, so you wear it. You shouldn't mess with someone who doesn't care what you think of them. It's kinda like wrestling with a pig. You just get dirty, and the pig likes it. Don't mess with my hat, and I won't make you bleed.

Ah, I can just smell all the testosterone . . .

 

[Tomasso]

Yeah, it smells like Winning!!!!!!

 

[randooch]

Ah, I can just smell all the testosterone . . .

. . . and still, the hat is GONE.

Sorry to break this up with a dose of estrogen, but Justin, have you gone back to the restaurant and made it known that the hat that came in on your head did not leave the premises on your head? Tell them you believe the patrons next to you might have "errantly" walked out with it and perhaps the server could think real hard and recall who they were - possibly regulars? Or better yet, bad tippers the server wold love to bust.

Hope your hat finds its way back to your noggin. Now, back to your regularly scheduled testosteroned program.

So. A rational, realistic, practical answer, eh?! hmpf. ...Off with her head!

...in Bavaria men wore felt hats with big tufts of chamois hair on on side. Someone explained to me that the tuft was very expensive...

I think they still are.

Good idea, Lily!

 

[JFriday]

I would also endorse that plan. I hope it returns.

Wow, they've gotten a lot bigger!

Although I live in California, I grew up in the northwest part if the state so, in John (don't call me Cougar) Mellencamp's words, "still hayseed enough to say": you don't mess with a man's hat...
