I need a hat
 

For wearing in the evening when I go out, but wearable indoors (in the bar, casino and the like), coz: the bar I'm in right now is cold, it's chilly outside when I walk to the other bar in town, I've got bugger-all hair left and I've got a skin condition that's left my crown looking unsightly. My trilby is out of place here, my small Stetson is too flamboyant, and I'm not going to wear a baseball cap.

Suggestions please :D

Flat/rain cap?

Re: I need a hat
 

Sorry............. you mention that you're going bald, and that you have an unsightly head, but nothing can justify wearing a hat indoors........ take a look around when you are in a bar or other place where people gather, and ask yourself what you think of those you can see who are wearing hats........ precisely.

The same is true of people who wear hats while driving cars........... :sneaky:

Surely there is only one option to be considered...

Re: I need a hat
 

should have asked me last week, had a milliner staying with me who had a superb collection of hats for men :)

Re: I need a hat
 

heres an idea

Re: I need a hat
 

You might be able to rock this bad boy. The ears can be tied up over the head indoors making it a very versatile solution.

And here's John wearing this year's latest in leather dungarees.

So now he just needs a time machine and his hat problems will be solved. :thumbup:

Take mine! - A Black Fedora, and wear a 'V' Mask!

Re: I need a hat
 

Not just any fedora but a Venice Fedora!

Flat Caps are neat and so are the newer Porkpie Hats.

But it stops middle-aged guys gaining access to UK Pubs and Bars. The 'Admission Consultants' consider it to be 'Intimidatory?' - So I have been told . . .

Re: I need a hat
 

They may well be, especially by Americans and youths, but they really shouldn't be.


Bahtatboy, surely one of these?

Are you taking the pith?

Re: I need a hat
 

How about this? Alternatively get a really cheap and nasty wig...

Re: I need a hat
 

A fez to blend in with the locals ?

Re: I need a hat
 

Or perhaps a 'Rainmate?'

Re: I need a hat
 

Oh yes! :thumbsup:

you will have to change your moniker

Re: I need a hat
 

Only option then is to wear a turban. :D

Re: I need a hat
 

:thumbsup: Extra point for the moustache.

I would suggest either a Soviet Politburo hat, or a Pakol.

Re: I need a hat
 

My recommendation is a stopover in Istanbul. I can give suggestions for bespoke hatters there. Waering a hat became a political symbol in the 1920s under Ataturk. Hats-modern. Other headgear - reactionary. People were hanged for wearing the wrong headgear !

Re: I need a hat
 

Thanks for all suggestions so far. Watched Top Gear on iPlayer last night, and Hamster was at one point wearing what looked like a nubuck flat cap--looked ok. However, the immediately-limiting factor is choice of shops (sweet FA where I am right now), so will have to see what's available in Casablanca in a few weeks, and if I can't find something suitable wait till I get home in the summer.

Although I do agree with The Dean in that most men who wear a hat indoors look stupid, but there is that occasional exception...

Re: I need a hat
 

Measure your head and get it online?

Just get something that uses a proper size, like the US/UK sizes and not go by S/M/L etc, as those tend to be well different depending on the hat, but a UK 57/US 7 is pretty exact for instance.

At least in my experience, they've all been bang on and it's only been the ones in medium/large that have been well off despite them saying what the range of sizes that make the banding.

Well, I guess the good news is that you have got through the mid-life crisis alive.

Re: I need a hat
 

Tommy Cooper. Everyone else wearing a hat indoors looks like a twat.

Re: I need a hat
 

Everyone, or every man?

Re: I need a hat
 

Chefs just about get off with it, as do air hostesses and little kids, but other that it's everyone, male or female.

Re: I need a hat
 

Traditional etiquette says that women keep hats on indoors. For example, men must remove a hat in church, women don't.

Re: I need a hat
 

forgot about the Jews, they can wear their cap aswell. Still look silly, but there we go atleast I don't appear racist. :unsure:

Traditional etiquette says a load of horse shit at times.

Re: I need a hat
 

Smear some thing sticky on your head, honey, glue, (your choice) then stick it in the sand. your head will be covered and therefore no longer offensive plus you won't be wearing a hat so obviously won't look like the aforementioned twat.
You can thank me later when you start to hear those knickers hitting the dance floor upon your grand entrance.

Re: I need a hat
 

Don't call me Honey, Shirley.

Re: I need a hat
 

Oh, and you will always be out of place in a trilby if you're not a spy working for MI6 in the 70's. Same for small Stetson unless you're one of those American kiddie beauty pageant train wrecks a la toddlers and tiaras.
Sand-cap all the way Honey.

Re: I need a hat
 

I can't imagine you in anything other than a fedora- even tho' a fez may be culturally more appropo.....

In my eyes you are BE's Sky Masterton...
