Why don't men wear hats anymore?

Have I mentioned great uncle Bartholomew's pickelhaube?

No, or cousin Max's SS stahlhelm.

Someone once said you can measure the health of a society by the number of eccentrics that it tolerates. On my travels, for what it's worth, I note there now many more eccentrics in Germany than there are in the UK, where everyone seems to have the same aspirational consumerist ideas.

Well observed.

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.

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)
