On my to-do list is getting back over to JJ Hat Center in NYC for some decent service and inventory while I drop a wad on a good hat or two.

My understanding is that felt hats aren't so great in downpours and it does the hat no favor. I may be wrong.Hat looks good but not sure why he is carrying an umbrella as well... Kind of like wearing a belt and braces.
Oh the AAAC crowd will quibble over this, but I think the standard convention is that open-air public places, to include malls, elevators, hallways etc, do not require hat removal. Admittedly, I suffer the same military habit of removing all headwear as I pass though a door...Part of my hat problem is that it is ingrained in me to immediately remove headwear upon entering any building. That's fine if I'm going to the office or home and can drop it on a hook or rack, but what happens if I'm taking the kids to the supermarket, for example?
Here's a start. I have yet to find a simple shape of hat and face guide. There is this piece here that seems okayIs that a fedora? Can anyone recommend a good primer for understanding basic men's hat styles?
Yup, that's a typo all right. Tyrolean. I think I've already mentioned that this Ben Hogan thing, and Ivy,flat, driving, etc. caps are all the same as best I can tell.Is that a spelling mistake in the top right? Tyrolean like the peeps in Austria and Italy?

The bases, as I see them:
I only have #2 and #5 covered well at this point.
- Summery straw hat - Panamas are great for being useful as casual and dressy
- Casual beater for purely practical purposes
- Smart casual cap
- Dressy wool felt hat
- Lifesaving funny hat for ass-freezing temperatures

I bought this at Nordstrom the other day - my first 'city hat'. View attachment 3639
NoSmall feather can be okay. Big and floppy, hard no.
examples?i am looking for a diplomats hat
not sure if i want mink or karakul though
I really can't imagine a situation where wearing feather is appropriate, outside of portraying tribal peoples.
Karakul, specifically the Hamid Karzai.i am looking for a diplomats hat
not sure if i want mink or karakul though
Every time I see one of those I think of Walter Matheau in Grumpy Old Men.Imma go on record and say that I have a Stormy Kromer that I wear in the winter. I know it looks silly. That's the idea. It works superbly.
