When I was in high school (late 50's- early60's) you had to prove financial hardship to wear blue jeans to school. Some kids actually wore ties. If you were on an athletic team you were expected to wear a coat and tie to away games. Like others writing here my dad also came from the south, he was from northern Virginia and his appearance was always important to him.
I want one. Anyone know where I can get a XXXL Fedora? Huge heads dont make it easy for hat fans. LOL!
No, seriously. You can ask my mom, she'll confirm!
LOL!
Thanks, seriously I have had a running joke for years. Every so often I go into the local western wear shop and look at hats and boots. They have high end stuff, expensive. When the salesperson aproaches I tell them if they can find a hat in the store that fits me I will buy it, price is no object. NEVER came close to losing on that deal!
When I have found a hat that fits and someone doubts the situation I have put my hat on their head over their hat and it swallows them up completely. Its ridiculous!
Same problem with motorcycle helmets. Its a hassle really! Even special order has been very unsuccessful!
I'll order the Fedora just to see what happens.......
Thanks Oily,
Mark
Oh, I got me one of those Akubras, too (only problem with it is, while it fits, my, ahem, oversize body makes it look ridiculously small on me), as well as a Panama from Panama, my geology field hat (a Magellan fishing hat with a wide brim, that has pins all over it from the various countries I've been to / done field work in), and a black Resistol cowboy hat that has been ridden over, stomped, and danced in more times than I can count. Plus a huge selection of baseball and gimme caps, a couple of Tweed newsboys, a couple of Harley do-rags, and various Saudi shammaghs (as is obvious from the profile photo). Yeah, I like hats.
But every time I look at a Stetson, I just kinda go "Why would I pay $300 for a hat that needs a cover to protect it?"
CLOCKWORK said:
Akubra hats from Australia are the best genuine fur-felt hats in the world... better than Stetson ever was. A lot more expensive than Target, which DOES have a surprisingly good selection, but your descendants will be wearing it centuries from now.
