Hats are for bald guys.

Edit: My thread now!

Edit two: On this board, favorite hat? Tinfoil.

I have two favourite hats. I wear them for good luck.

What type of headgear do you find most fashionable? For dated, I find the tricorne quite nice. For modern I happen to wear a flat-cap.

I fully expect Lunatic Goofballs to put a picture of something like a jester cap, or another equally outrageous hat up here.

My brain keeps my head warm.

isn't the other way around?

I have a homburg that I enjoy wearing to work and just going out and about, though if I want to be a bit smarter I have a black felt trilby.

I also have a ushanka and flat cap. Though I don't wear them much.

Unfortunately I lost my panama hat (it was cheap so not too bad), but summer's over so I have plenty of time to get a new one.

"Hey, why didn't you get the big one?"

To my shame* I had to google it to get that one :(





*(Not really shame, never really got Seinfeld over here)

I also have a ushanka....

For ordinary people maybe... (I was joking).

I like my fedora. :)

My ushanka! Definitely.

i had a plain olive green military style cap that i loved. only cost me £4 but i lost it on a particularly messy night out and the shop i got it from has changed the style ever so slightly so that now i don't like it. they've basically made the peak slightly longer, the other bit looser and taller (instead of head-hugging) and the colour more... poster-paint-y and it looks crap now.
a bit like this (http://www.alternativeapparel.com/image_cache/alternative_apparel_sspi_314_ProductImage.jpg) but olive green and with no funny stitching on it.

for a formal hat i'd like to get one of these:

Ah. I should have perhaps perused my knowledge of Monty Python instead.

I'd totally wear a cowboy hat. They look like they'd be nice both on sunny days when the heat is hammering down on your head and on cloudy days with thin rain that is too light to warrant waving an umbrella around.

The problem is that I can't remember the last time I saw anyone wearing them here. I have nothing against standing out but would hate to be mistaken for an American tourist.

I like my mom's hats. (http://s80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/otnekstem/hats/)

Is there much call for it in Miami?

I like nice simple caps. baseball or such. wide brimed hats (like cowboy or somesuch) really doesn't suit me and I'll only wear them if I have to.

I like my mom's hats. (http://s80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/otnekstem/hats/)

agreed. *still wants one or the ability to make one that doesn't look stupid*

Well, I just bought this (http://www.spirithalloween.com/hats_character-hats/viking-helmet/) and love wearing my FC Bayern woolie during the winter (with matching scarf of course). I also beat to death a straw hat from the BVI which survived that trip and the trip to Greece. Barely. The suitcase rides gave it a run.

Normally, I'm not a hat person.

My ushanka! Definitely.

To bad I just used-up the quote concerning that.

Dunce cap usually.

Oh, you meant favourite...

Same here, plan on purchasing the kind of 'cowboy hat' that the Texas Rangers use as their regulation hat. As soon as I am sure my ego/head isn't going to get any fatter...

I use American spelling if I wish, since I am, after-all American.

Colour, Color.

Tyre, Tire.

Along with countless others.

:D

I am American too and you misunderstood my joke.

Read it again with American spelling if you want, but maybe it just wasn't funny.

She will be selling them on etsy within the next month or so. I think.

Ah, no it's quite fine. It merely took me a moment to discern the source of your intended jocularity.

The story of my life. *nods* :)

:D

I have no idea what the English or even German name for the thing is, but it is a Hat which is isolated against water so I can wear it during rain and my glasses and my hair stay dry. Also, if I wear it, it's far easier to balance things on my head.

I like flat-caps. Or fishing hats.

My festival hat (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/Hobopea/hat.jpg). It covers up the dirt when I haven't washed all week :p

I've only ever worn a hat at Reading; that was only because I didn't have any hair straighteners for 5 days... which, festival fun and all considered, was still annoying.

Arrrrr

Toques are the best hats, they are stylish and keep my head warm in the winter.

My hair > all hats.

My Favorite hat is this one that grandfather got from Sydney, Australia. It's not like a steroetypical Australian outback hat, just a usual surf/skate hat with mesh in the back. Good for wearing backwards, that kind of thing.

My favorite hat that i don't have, however, is a Napoleonic style artillery man's shako, this round, black felt, stiff thing (kind of like a top hat, but with only a short bill instead of a full brim) with crazy feathers sticking up from the front and a thin chinstrap. Or a tricorner. Those are cool, too.

Here, I am wearing it:

my cav's hat, tis lucky to golf in. Ie, I picked up my only hole in one while wearing it, so it is de facto lucky.

I like my mom's hats. (http://s80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/otnekstem/hats/)

This (http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/899/img0870li7.jpg) is why I love my mom.

Fedora.

Fedoras are hawt, on chicks.

This one (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v306/zbronto/5.jpg)

Red an black Motofox cap, just plain baseball cap, pleather (doesn't feel like real leather) covered bill, Motofox logo on the front.

My hair > all hats.

Seconded...

...except it would be my hair, not your hair. :p

Since we're talking about hats, does anyone know what hat Adam Savage used to wear on MythBusters, it was the brown hat. I also like Fedoras.

I also like this (http://www.rjsafety.com/images/jpg/Topgard.jpg) one. It lets me go to work. Mine is like the one on the right, yet red. The one on the left is for dorks.

EDIT: This is my left and this is my right. If I do not know this, then I am not very bright.

i can't stand to wear anything on my head. even my hair gets to be too much at times. though i wish it didn't because i like the way longer hair looks on everybody. of any age, gender or species.

there's only one reason i ever wear anything on my head, and that is health and safety, as often that of other as myself. i've worn those paper hats you have to wear in food service, and i've worn hard hats when i was working in the minerals exploration, and transprotation infrasturcture industries.

but other then that, ...
i just plain don't find hats of any kind, physically aesthetic, on anyone.

This one is also badass, but not quite as badass as the first:

My favourite hat.
By 17th: Dictator, Leader, Legend, King, god and purity

My favourite hat would be the head of a disobedient civilian of my lands!


The end.

Something like that.

I have a battered green sun hat that I've had for years, too.

I just received the last two of my favorite hat in existence. It's a low brim vacationer hat with a zen slug on it. It's like a lamp shade I can pull down and shut out things, it's a warm hug for my head.

I also have black pork pie hat for when I have to look presentable.

A Mortarboard?

(From memory, haven't seen mythbusters for ages)

A wide brimmed fedora.

I like the sage-green watch cap I'm knitting right now.

Gimp-Mask.

A mitre. :D

And here are instructions on how to make one!
