When I was in high school I worked part time in a men's wear store. We sold a ton of hats from Biltmore which was founded in 1917. They were resurrected about 10 years ago by some people who thought that eventually there'd be a market for hats.

I would not be averse to wearing hats if it wasn't for hat hair. That, to me, is the biggest drawback to hats today. Hairstyles are generally longer today and nobody wants to go around work with that damn ring around their head. If I put a hat on, it's for the rest of the day unless I take a shower. That's how my hair (what there is of it) rolls.

If you're getting hat hair, it's probably not the right size.

I rarely have a problems with mine.

Ballcap, turned around, almost always. But the NMMI baseball cap I have, I've bent and wethered the bill so well that I wear it the regular way pulled down over my eyes.

I wear a beanie, red and yellow, with a propeller on top.

I have two trilbys (a short-brim fedora) that I wear in the winter. One is a brown corduroy and the other is a gray wool in a houndstooth pattern (but not that obnoxiously loud white-black houndstooth pattern). There's another guy in the newsroom (a true New Yorker) who wears one in winter as well. Of course, it helps pull off the look as long as you wear a nice shirt and tie, and the style of hat I wear is still pretty casual.

I got mine cheap at this site: http://www.villagehatshop.com

Here are my hats:

And, no, I don't put my press card in the hat band. That's doucery in the first degree these days.

I have a head sized anywhere from 7 5/8 to 8, depending on the hat. I don't clean up that well, but I've thought about a fedora to go with my one suit. I don't think it'd flatter me, though; I'd probably look like a gangster. Or Michael Moore dressing up as a gangster to make some sort of anti-Bush statement. Seriously, I've had a half-dozen people tell me I look like Michael Moore. At least nobody says I look like a white Big Daddy V.

My god, were you irradiated like a character in some 1950s horror movie?
Are you some kind of comic book super villain?

I need a 7 7/8 at least, too.

i've seen a dude -- in new york and then same dude was in spring training -- who actually wore a hat with the press card in it. serious douche

"The Dude" has gone into sports writing?? :o :o

 

[Mystery_Meat]

Or a hat that has a PULL card in it.

 

[forever_town]

My former reporter actually jokingly talked about getting a fedora and putting "PRESS" on it. He also asked me one time if it'd help if he got a tape recorder.

Made my day.

I was just wondering when did wearing fedoras go out of style? It appeared that most men in professional careers (not just in journalism) in the 50s and 60s seemed to wear them and now you hardly ever see them around.

Could they make a comeback?

I sure hope so!! I love the fashion from the 50's early 60's....those folks were sharp

a guy at my work was wearing one of those 2 months ago........He had his propelller hat, with his old school skateboard......

I work for a computer company and its full of engineering geeks. 2 of my co-workers were on the original MIT poker team that they based the book on....smart dudes.

I have a couple of my grandpa's fedoras. He wore them up until he died. I wore them out a couple times during the fedora craze for chicks a few years back (thanks Britney!).

I really think they look sharp on guys.

A damn snappy look, by the way.
