Hats for Blokes - 3/17/2015 4:20:17 PM

Status: offline 		I've recently decided that I like hats. Good hats, I mean - stylish ones - none of your beanies, bobbles or baseball caps. I mean homburgs, trilbies, fedoras. I'm willing to spend good money for the right hat. I am most keenly concerned not to leave the house looking like a *dick*

Any male hat fans here? What would you recommend? Women, what sort of hat do you think a chap looks good in?

When I was living in U.K. I used to wear a soft, black, trilby at times. When combined with a black leather coat I picked up in Turkey, I looked like Gestapo but the hat felt right.

A flat cap? Rabbits in your pockets, that sort of thing?

Failing that, a poncho.

This is a deeply serious thread and I am saddened and disappointed that you people are extracting the urine. :-(

I'd quite like to go for a black trilby that I've seen. But most of my jackets are brown or coloured. Does a black trilby go with, say, a brown leather jacket?

Help me, folks - I know zilch about hats!

In my teens I was in a group that wore hats, fedoras and the like to school, and about town. We got looks, but we really enjoyed the hats.

Certainly there must be stuff you can look up or there is a local haberdasher in your area?

Status: offline 		Dunns ... ? God, I haven't seen one of their shops for ages! I tried a Moss Bros, but they don't do hats of any type at all. I was quite surprised.

I've been told to try out one of the gents' outfitters - you know, the very sober and basically oldie looking shops on the high street - the sort of shop I've long since come to ignore.

Brown - yes, I could go with brown. Or a muted, maybe olive, green.

A friend of mine is totally into hats and always has been. He's looking at spending £160 on what's called a 'Sinatra Trilby'. I've seen it - it's *really* classy. Grey - which, I think, would go with any colour of jacket.

But, jeez, I've lost every umbrella I've ever owned. I don't want to lose a £160 worth of hat by leaving it in some cafe or pub toilet. I think I'd spend maybe £60, max - until I can get used to not leaving things behind.

I don't even know what hat sellers are called. Are they 'haberdashers'? I thought they were called 'milliners'.

I do recall mentioning that I don't want to go out looking like a *dick*, GM. Nor do I want to look like one of the gangsters from A Clockwork Orange, thank you. Please pay attention and also try to restrain your rather frivolous tendencies on this otherwise dignified thread. :-(

An Aussie friend has advised me that only twats wear fedoras, Kaliko. That could be just an Australian thing, mind you. Personally, like you, I think they look great. I've seen what have been called 'trilby-fedoras' - things that have brims that are slightly less wide than those of fedoras. I quite like them.

...I also kinda like suspenders.

Why not go to a haberdashery and see what might work for you?

Jesus, I actually have to work to translate that. I guess you know that we call them braces here? 'Suspenders' are what we call the things that hold up women's stockings.

Milliner is specifically for women's hats if I am not mistaken. We had a local hat shop at one time where I live. My father called it a haberdashery... perhaps in the truest sense of the word, after examining the definition, it was not, however, at one time it might have been and that is why he called the shop that.

He looks like a tool, in my not so humble opinion.
