Well observed.Originally posted by sasguru View PostSomeone once said you can measure the health of a society by the number of eccentrics that it tolerates.

all the hat stand companies were requisitioned to make munitions during the war. after the war they almagamated to form a division of bae. hat stands slowly dissapeared from offices through natural wastage but were not replaced. with nowhere to hang them hats became a nuisance and that is why nobody wears hats anymore.Comment

I love hats! But convention dictates against wearing one all the time.
My 'Flat Cap' (farmer's) hat is my fave.
A wide-brimmed Barbour for when it's peeing down

A Bushman's hat for the Summer (oh I love that hat, why do people laugh so when I wear it?)
A woolly beanie when it's really cold.
A few baseball caps from when I watched motor racing.
And this one for Christmas ! (SFW) (that's not me)Comment
