Hats being used for something OTHER than a hat.

I remember seeing a pic here on the lounge of a hat shop that had hanging lamps with hat shades throughout. Can't remember the name of the shop, tho.

I have a vague recollection a couple of pricey places here in London had them at a time. Probably made by the folks at Incube, who do two models, the "Innermost Jeeves", a bowler, and the Wooster, a top hat:

At just north of GBP140 apiece, they're far from cheap - though if you fancy one, with the pound at time of writing at a historically low dollar rate of USD1.18, now is very much the time to buy!

I wouldn’t want any man who doesn’t have sense enough to keep his hat on his head “representing” me anywhere.

Great stuff everyone. Here's Briscoe Darlin', guilty of a 10-17: Dippin' a hat in a horse trough.
