Looking for a good hat - Page 2

The felt fedora is always a classic and goes with just about anything except maybe a t-shirt. For versatility, I'd recommend just a plain ribbon band; a feather can look a bit dressy. Brown is a good color, though I did have a rich green fedora that I wore all the time.

I just buy Bailey brand from the men's shop downtown.

The hat matters. Yeah. But what matters more is the face under it. And that is what it is.
We can work a bit on the poise, the attitude. You want to look tough? Fine. Then think tough. Sweet? Then think sweet. Smart? A bit more challenging. But one can learn that also. The best is just plain cool. Easy like.

They know it all. I mean the girls. So if you can get one to advise you, that's the best.

The Akubra hats are nice! But I couldn't find anyplace on the website to order. Did I miss something??

That's true, but the hat can definitely help the face. From the inside--if you know what I mean.

And if the face is beyond help, well, that's where hats with really wide brims come in.

Wise advice, as I've come to expect from my friend beppe!

A hat should be fitted anyway; try a distributor: http://www.akubra.com.au/distributors.html

I'll second [third, fourth? I lost count] the recommendation for Tilley hats. Maybe not the stylist hat that you had in mind, but durable as can be.

Biggest problem? They don't wear out! Mine [T4] is a tad too small, but since it won't wear out I can't bring myself to buy a new one! I use it as a hat (of course), pillow, sunshade, bucket, seat, and just about every other purpose that you could come up with, and it still looks new ~12 years later -- nay, better than new because of the patina on the brass hardware.

More hat ideas? How about:

A very handy hat is the basque. One can wear it in so many ways. The original one, although a bit expensive, is also water proof.
