I work at the home of James Bond, and this year the dress for the Christmas party is surprisingly James Bond themed. I have a few inspired Bond items but don't have a Bond physique...Why would you want to look like Goldfinger?

Care to elaborate?
Cool. Not MI6 then.

REALLY depends on your style. Hard to pull off unless you’re Samuel L Jackson.What do you all think of of style of this cap, the blocked felt cap by Lock?

Made in Czech Republic. It is not a traditional look,and it looks how it is in the photo, big and round. It is a nice hat to wear (comfy and warm), and it is a great design using one piece of felt, but it doesn't quite give `the look' needed. Probably more of a modern cap for young blokes, do you think?
Received my Lawrence and Foster countryman cap in NIDD tweed. Fits true to size. My head is 23.5 inches and the size 60 fit perfectly. The quality is decent, but doesn't compare to the quality of the Gill cap, but the L&F fits much better with a deeper fit. It is not perfect and it is not luxury, but l am satisfied.
Ordered two more Countryman caps today in these colours. At least l saved $45 ASD on postage by ordering two.

I think these have cardboard peaks where-as the Borsalino has an awful plastic peak. L&F make sure they don't show you what the peak is made of.
I like that they are English made caps in the typical English style.
Doesn’t the cardboard get soggy in the rain? If not plastic, what would you prefer they use?

This always works.How do we measure head size, Shooey? To measure chest for example we put the tape measure under the armpits. Mrs Ambrose always says I am big headed.
You know, this talk of such as 7 1/2 has ferried me back to my school days when we were forced to wear school capsIf only there was something called the World Wide Net or something so that you could search for an answer to questions such as these.
Wrap the tape measure around your head. Keep it level, just above the ears. The size in cm is one measurement. (Approx 56 to 60?) The old fashioned way is in inches divided by 3 or something like that so you end up with 7 1/4, 7 3/8 etc.
Ooh showing your age there I think!You know, this talk of such as 7 1/2 has ferried me back to my school days when we were forced to wear school caps
I wonder how long the military will persevere with hats when they are so seldom seen anywhere else with the exception of the ubiquitous ball cap.
I believe that only British do the not saluting a hatless man thing. If American movies are anything to go by they do it all the time!
I can see a devolution of military headgear in the direction of those hideous ball caps as you suggest. Preference for berets seems to wax and wane with successive generations (special forces /RM commandos excepted).
As for your anecdote re the panama - a glimmer of hope for the survival of the brimmed hat! In which city did this take place?
OMG, Shooey is 'gonna' be a Big Hat Daddy!The hat expert said l look best in the fedoras with the 7cm brim. I tried a navy one on today with a suit and it really looked good on me. Definitely going to start wearing the fedoras. The hat expert said that some blokes look awful in hats, but some can really pull them off. I am starting to get into hats, so maybe one day i'll do a few bespoke brim hats. I look better in a brim hat than without one.
Gonna see another hat expert soon. It is really hard for a novice to know what type of hats and colours best suit him. Gonna find out the ins and outs of it all. In the mean time I will dine with another hat expert next week and take delivery of my new masterpiece. I am gonna see all the hat experts and learn what's what.
Some look good in hats while others don't.
Can you post some pics samples on men looking good in hats from this century? Let’s see how Big Hat Daddies differ from Tibor.
