Hats on TV

That guy looks terrible. He makes me want to stop wearing hats, scarves, and all patterns.

Hey now, that scarf and hat look like they could be sold together in a set! lol

Honestly, he doesn't look that bad to me. Sure, it's not a fedora I'd wear, but it most CERTAINLY looks better than what I see some people wearing from time to time.

I could see why he'd not want it on the air indoors. You doing any field work?

Right. That'd look just great out in the field!

Thanks Lefty, you stopped me from violating one of the rules my momma (yes I'm from the deep South) raised me to obey: if you can't say something nice don't say anything.

The guy is in Austin, in the state of Texas, and he's wearing that hat?

 

[Brian Sheridan]

Here is my standup from last Monday, outside our airport. The hat is not one of my vintage ones but a Bailey from a few years ago.

 

[Lefty]

That's the way to do it. :eusa_clap

 

[ScionPI2005]

Very nice Brian! :eusa_clap

NBC's Today has ok'd Matt and Al to wear hats in "hat weather." But that's not a hard news gig, and if Al were not already in an accepted hat-wearing demographic, NBC probably would not have gone for it.

Al's been wearing the same fedora during this frigid spell for outdoor shots, and I've tried my darndest to identify exactly what lid it is, to no avail. Anyone know or care to take a guess?

Matt has several, most recently sporting a rather stingy-brimmed tweed trilby. He's a sharp dresser really into all things sartorial, so it's probably a high-dollar name brand. Got any idea what specific hat it is?

Not a fedora, but I thought it an interesting sighting.

Brian Sheridan: You look great in that pic. If I may speak for all of us, you did all us hat wearers proud. Keep it up.

Matt lauer looking like the character Don Draper on Mad Men.

I watched the Country Music Awards last week. To me, more pop than country, but what was interesting, in addtion to the requisite cowboy hats, there were a few stingy brim fedoras in the crowd and on some of the performers.

On broadcast TV there is a police detective who wears a stingy brim all the time. It's Maria Bello on Prime Suspect. The series is nowhere near as good as the UK series it's vaguely modeled after the one that had Helen Miran in it as the lead detective, but hey it's US TV

If TV were REALLY powerful ...
And if TV were REALLY good ...

Then we would have hat counters out of the 40s in every Walmart.

But it's NOT.

As a relatively new Fedora wearer and new lounger I have been noticing the hats that people wear. Fedoras are rarely worn here and they are mostly stingies. Seeing anything resembling a Fedora on TV is welcome. Although TV programming influences behavior I see it more as a reflection of the culture. It's a business and the 'powers that be' choose Fedora props as money making tools, nothing else.

Speaking of Wallyworld, I'm sure this new series has increased sales of those polystraw Stingies by at least 3x BTW, Helen Miran did not wear a hat in the original

Leonard Elmore the creator of the characters on which the tv show Justified is based wanted the Raylan Givens character to wear a Open Road. I don't know who makes the hat he wears but at least it's not a George Strait style with wings.

Well he lost on that one. It's DEFINATELY NOT an OR
