Actually it was a TAR WAB...

Generous Brim?
Magnanimous Brim?
Benevolent Brim?
Bountiful Brim?

Resplendent brim? Sorry I just never get to use that word lol.

Hi

Checked Bodacious on Webster's and it's use is outright, unmistakable, or sexy, voluptuous. Voluptuous has an entirely different connotation than wide...

I feel so much better about myself since I used the dictionary and all that.

Maybe some would consider the wide brim sexy.

I keep coming back to bodacious too. I like it, but it doesn't quite roll off the tongue like stingy does. I also keep saying it in a surfer voice in my head. . . "Yo, bodacious brim, bro! Like totally radical!"

My brim is too sexy for me....

In Soviet Russia, brim tips you!


On a side note, I'm used to seeing the edge of my brim when I'm wearing my other hats, but with my stingy I can't. It wierds me out a bit. I guess I'll get used to it eventually.

Great. We dudes need more female reinforcement, because to some degree, that's what it's all about anyway. You other ladies feel free to chime in anytime now.

Wow. I started this thread and haven't checked in for a while. How'd we get here?

Wide-brimmers, be careful what you wish for. If the brimmed hat/fedora trend sticks around for a while and morphs into wider and better offering, the market may be affected. This could impact the vintage crowd if such lids become trendy. Prices may skyrocket after that.

For the modern users, if fedora become really popular a glut of band-wagon manufacturers would eventually disappear as the trend fades, possibly leaving fewer options at higher prices. It seems to have happened with many consumer items and collectables in recent years. Thankfully, I doubt those who follow fashion for fashion sake will hang around long.

In the meantime, wear whatever you like. But just don't leave it in the closet. Wear it!

Amen to that. They'll drop their generously-brimmed hats like a hot rock as soon as the next fad comes along.

At least we're talking about hats, now.

Had not had the time to post this one. But when I found it last week only the 54 cm was sold out now its totally sold out.
Don't know what kind of brim other than ball cap fedora to call this one.

A center dent ball cap with a ribbon? I don't know what to make of it. I know I don't want one but it certainly is intriguing.

 

[Feraud]

Are they really sold out at that price?
