What a fun thread!

I think the top hat trumps all.

When you see it on him, what do you see? Doesn't it bring memories rushing to your head?

Visions of Clark Gable, Fred Astaire dancing, even JFK wore one to his inaugaration. It's an icon worthy of the game of Monopoly, the Penguin wears one (as do most penguins, I hear). Rock bands: Slash wears it, it's worn by characters in literature ranging from Dr Seuss to Dickens.

Besides, I think it oozes sophistication and class. And it brings out that attention ho

Good lord, did you find H.G. Wells' time machine and take a trip back to 1873?

Hell of a hat, Hal. I used to wear one just like that when I was delivering pizza. I'd stick a quart bag of ice up in it during the summer (didn't have AC in the car). Got married in a hat like that. Then I got a dog, and he ate it, and the one I got to replace it.

These days, I'm wearing one very much like kramus's, but with the brim rolled and shaped a bit to something between a tricorn and a stetson.

I don't get to wear hats. I have massive amounts of curly hair but this is a great thread!

And as for Charlatan....swoon!.....bow-chica-bow wow!!!

Halx

Yeah Tophat, when I met you, you were wearing a fedora. I was disappointed. I wanted to see a TOP HAT!!

Fly, That's hot.
Crompsin, digging that winter Russian dorky thing you got going.
King, pink or not, you totally own that hat.
I do not own a hat or ever wear one. Closest thing I have to a hat is a full faceshield riding helmet.
Some heads are just made for hats. Mine is not one of them.And most ladies' hats I have tried on were too small

Tophat665

You wear it better than I do. This is the only picture I have of me in a tophat at the moment (from 1994):

Loving those hats boys, very sexy...need to find me one so I can return the eye-candy

I love hats, they really should be worn a lot more!

My real hat, for now.

I have a pimp hat, I have a beanie hat, I have a baseball hat, I have a fedora hat.

Do I have pictures of me in them?

Do I bollocks.

I wear my father's fedora, but then I'm a member of the Norwegian Mafia and it's allowed. It's a good look on me and my favorite of the nine or ten other hats I have.

Sorry, but almost all of you look like complete dorks. There's a reason those hats haven't been in style in decades.

Willravel

Mine's been out of style for over a century. So I win.

Martian

Wow, that's harsh. It's a good thing I don't care one bit about your opinion, or my feelings may have been slightly hurt.

Fashion is cyclical. Something going out of style doesn't necessarily mean that it shouldn't or can't be worn. Some people prefer to do what they want, rather than let the opinions of the masses dictate what they can or can't do.

Yeah, I know. Hats are out of style? Even I know there are certain hats in style, and I don't even have a sense of style.

Lighten up. I doubt MRSD meant it as harshly as you took it. And besides, if any of you can manage to go out for a night on the town and still get laid with one of those hats on - more power to you.



Something tells me that the bottle of Grey Goose in the background influenced the purchase of that hat.

Oh, I'm not upset. I thought the bit about 'my feelings may have been hurt' made that clear, since the implication is that my feelings aren't hurt. Despite the fact that I'm reasonably sure MrSelfDestruct meant it exactly as harshly as it seems to read, I was simply observing that I don't particularly care if he or anyone else thinks my hat makes me look like a 'dork.' While I didn't outright state it, I think it'd be logical to conclude that anyone else who wears a fedora (or a top hat or any other type of hat other than a ball cap) is similarly unaffected. You'd have to be; people who spend a lot of time worrying about the opinions of others don't generally buy hats or clothes that are outside mainstream fashion.

As to getting laid, women like men with confidence. Men who wear hats like those depicted here generally are confident. I get very positive responses regarding my fedora.

Well then I suppose I'll follow your lead since my Pig Destroyer hat isn't exactly winning over the masses.

Lincoln's last hat hasn't stood up well to the ravages of time:
