Wouldn't it be cool if construction hard hats could be fashioned like a derby? Maybe made of leather like old firemen's helmets. I'd wear one and risk getting whistled at.
I wonder if that is because a bowler gives the material a much more structured shape? I mean, it is all pretty tightly controlled where as a fedora is a more loose shape, if you know what I am saying?Wool works well for bowlers - you don't seem to get the shrinkage problems you get with fedoras.
