... What comments does it
illicit from passersby?...
You might think that but I can tell you that isn't necessarily true. Considering the number of people in Manhattan and the low number of negative comments I've received, the odds appear that people are more open minded. Truth be told, I think most just don't care.Last thought, chances are there might be fewer comments
if the red fedora were worn in Manhattan. A lot more
free and creative wardrobe expression there.
I think you've hit on the crux of the problem right there.
There's a Lounger in Connecticut who's signature lid is a red Pork pie made by Art. Apologies to this referenced gentleman, as I can't for the life of me remember the avatar name.
