Choosing the right hat

via Information Junk
This post is dedicated to the Emperor of Ephemera, who loves hats. Information Junk, always thorough, provided this excellent followup as well: The right way to wear your hat.

Now me, I've been alternating between the tightly woven straw job with the Mexican flair I bought in Nashville, and the little stovepipe straw job I bought with Stagg in the Windy City.

Mr. Anchovie-Thank you for all the info of and about hats!!!When I was younger I never let the intended sexuality of the hat intimidate me because I didn't care. I was just as willing to buy a hat at a new store as a resale shop or garage sale.As the Emperor of all Ephemera I'll let everyone know why I like hats-it is because it stems from my childhood-adults thought I was hard of hearing when they called me-but I was to far into my pretend world to answer.I became officer good cop or fire chief-at those moments I was no longer STAGG! Hats are cool-I've seen conservatives turn up their noses at me and I've caught the attention of the alternafacetackle crowd! Just with hats.

Very Intersting. But you know what they say?

If you have nothing in it, put something on it.

How timely a post!

Yesterday, I went to a hat store and bought one straw version to keep from being sunburnt and put another slighty expensive one on hold - even though it does little to stop the sun - until payday. (I did see and try on a totally awesome hat but when I noticed that it cost $320, I put it down.)

To top it all off, I received a rather lovely hair accessory yesterday. It's been a hat and hair kind of week

I too am a lover of hats! I am particularly fond of baseball and driving caps, but also love broad brimmed hats, drover hats, and the like. The hat I wear usually reflects my mood.

The only "functional" hat I own is my Tilley hat I wear on long canoe trips.
