How do folks react to your hat wearing?

[1961MJS]

I put on a hat and my mask.
Wife: "Jessie James, is that you?"
She had a point. I lost the hat.

Ah come on, I wear cowboy hats, and wide brimmed fedoras most days. I had a blast last week. I went out and the first two places I went were the bank and the liquor store, wearing cowboy hat and mask. Couldn't do that last year could ya?

You can tell Halloween is coming up.
I had a doctor's appt early this morning and I'm waiting outside the door from them to let me in. I've got a black leather motorcycle jacket on and an old Dobb's fedora.
The nurse comes out and goes, "OH MY GOD, I THOUGHT YOU WERE FREDDY KRUGER!!! You're all tall and the hat and it was dark..."
I told her next time I'll wear a derby.

Someone calls you out as "indiana Jones'....need to respond with that's "Dr. Jones" with a slight smile.

My vet is a big fan of the chocolate Rand I wear in cold months. It's a 4" brim, tall crown 100%'er with a styling similar to a Tom Horn but flatter brimmed. I suspect he'd trade services for it if I offered it up.

And I get routine compliments on my natural Open Road RD. It's just a great all around hat.

My most usual response is, 'Who is that?'

Who? That's a remark that I heard this morning. My wife and I had our Covid 19 inoculations today. After going through the preliminaries of who, what where and when, we then went into the surgery for our vaccinations. our doctor was probably a retiree, brought out of hibernation, to assist with the vaccine rollout.

"Oh my," he said, when he saw me. "It's Douglas Fairbanks," "Who?" Said the much younger doctor. He was probably just post graduate, wouldn't even know Sean Connery were it not for James Bond.

"Douglas Fairbanks," said my missus. "Google it!" "I will," said the young doctor, already tap-tapping his phone screen.

^ I think you bear more of a resemblance to Douglas Fairbanks Junior myself. Anyone else?

It was a glorious sunny day yesterday, cold but with bright winter sunshine. How tempted I was to wear the ivory trousers that Tina has made for me. But Tina told me to wait, she said that the ivory matching felt hat that she ordered as a birthday gift, should arrive in time. My birthday is about ten weeks away, the vaccine that we had is the Astra Zenica type, so we will return in about twelve weeks for our second jabs. Hope it's a sunny day.

The perplexed look on that young doctor's face was priceless, all the more so because of the senior doctor's grin at my wife's remark.

In the dairy aisle at the grocery store in my Moonstone Campdraft (and black mask), a passing toddler pointed and exclaimed from his seat in the cart "look mommy, a COWBOY!"

Cowboys, well most cowboys, are honest farm hands that herd the cattle. That's what my TV told me back in the 1950's. Programs like Bonanza explained the definition of cowboy. So cowgirl, would be the female version, right? Wrong! It's taken 74 years, but I am now reliably informed that cowgirl is actually a female copulation position. Think i might have a difficulty next time I am in the confessional.

Get ready. "Reverse cowboy" is not a guy herding cattle horseback backing up his horse.

More like sitting the other way in the saddle, so to speak.

When I go to the chiropractor, they always take my temperature with a forehead scanner. If I've been wearing a hat or cap, sometimes that will increase the temp of my head enough to set off alarms. So, I've started taking off my hat while I walk to the office door so my head can cool down.

Now the receptionists always ask, "where's your hat?" They know I usually wear a different hat every visit and they seem to look forward to seeing what my next selection will be.

Let me reassure you, I will definitely not be looking that up. One lesson that the internet taught me, very early on, is to be careful what you write in the search box.
We got the internet back in the days of dial up. I was showing off to my missus and told her that I would find us a great swing era dance to go to. I really wasn't thinking straight when I typed Swing Time into the search engine. A page of graphic couples slowly appeared. It was so embarrassing, thankfully my missus made light of it by bending her head almost upside down, she then said: See! I told you that position was possible." We both still have a laugh at that but I am not going there again, that's for sure.

I got called Inspector Gadget on the patio of a gay club once, which is tremendously funny to me

I've only recently worn my new upgrade hat out once, and the cashier gave me my drink for free (rarely happens). I also startled someone and another person moved out of my way abruptly; I think maybe the face mask doesn't do any favors in making the look seem more affable, either.

A proper hat is tremendously empowering. I’ve noted that forever, more so as a younger person.

That gives me an idea to wear my black Adam and a red scarfy-type face mask to see if anyone but anyone calls me The Shadow, although I highly doubt it nowadays.

When my wife was finishing her degree in an adult night school, she was doing a paper on interracial relationships. You can imagine how her search experience was the first time out.

Free drinks for wearing a hat? Please share name and location of club.

A couple of weeks ago in the grocery, I encountered an individual who was covered head-to-toe in purple. A long purple coat, purple gaiter, and wide brim purple fedora. I thought I had encountered Lamont Cranston. Wish I would have taken a pic, but it would have been too obvious.
