Awesome! Thanks Pat. 8)
I had the pleasure of going to an event with a guy who wore a cool hat with his tux. He looked really good in that hat. : )
I have a nice fedora that I wear when it's rainy.
I believe the decline in hat popularity is mostly because of two things: we spend less time in the weather, so we don't need it for protection; and, a hat does more to muss your hair than protect it. (Since etiquette demands that you remove your hat indoors, it can only hide your bad hair day for a short while. And probably make it worse in the process.)
I don't know which is cause and which is effect, but it can be a pain to wear a hat today. Homes and businesses aren't set up to accommodate them, so wearers wind up just holding them. It's awkward if there's not an empty chair for your hat while dining out.
I used to wear hats a lot, I solved the problem of were to
put them by keeping them on my head.
But of coarse some beacon of the holy standards bureau
would always stop by to inform my of my heathen ways.
Them= You know your not supposed to wear your hat indoors.
Me= Well thanks for taking time out from your work on ending
all the violence and misery in the world to inform me of that.
Them= When I was a young man we didn't wear our hats at the table.
Me= Well when you were a young man that would have been dangerous
because hats block your vertical sight line and you needed to see the dinosaur's coming over the tree tops.
Oh the fun I used to have. ;D
You went and made me wake up Gloria. :laughing4: :biglaugh:

I didn't know LLlloyd was such a stickler for hat etiquette.
I don't have hair to get messed up by a hat.
I always wear a baseball cap just out of habit mostly. Army and all that.
I love hats. I should really wear more of them.
Most nice hats come in sizes. Some are the standard small, medium, large etc.
Others are marked 7, 7 3/8, 7 1/2 and so on. to find your hat size take a tape measure and measure the circumference of your head and divide by 3.14. Hat sizes are the diameter of your head. Do try the hats on since manufactures vary a little on sizing.

Join the Army! They size your head for you. ;D
The amount of hair you have also affects the size of hat.
Here's me (http://www.greasecar.com/profile.cfm?profileID=26) in April 04 showing off the veg oil Mercedes wearing my Outback hat.

It may not be stylish, but I love the regular baseball caps. On bright days, the sun hurts my eyes, so the shade is very useful. I even have a visor on my bike helmet for the same reason.

Spanky's an old-fashioned kind of guy.
I love it when I see a guy with a bandana or cowboy hat on if it's the kind I like. That reminds me it's biker time up here, my favorite time. I love some of their hats and love their bikes.
Rick used to wear hats that resembled baseball hats and he looked so cute but I"m wondering is there any truth to that saying, if you wear hats a lot you lose your hair quicker and end up bald?

I bought this big red, round hat when Rick and I went to the bahamas and I was in a tiny floral dress and later on when we talked to these college kids there they thought that I was Rick's mistress. I guess it was the way I was dressed, I have no idea. I think I looked like a bimbo when I look at the pictures now.
there is only one REAL hat.
the cowboy hat! ;D
