From: Dave the Gnome Date: 05 Jan 06 - 04:21 PM Brown Trilby, black Fedora, straw Panama, dark blue Greek fishermans cap (with a stars and stripes badge), lightweight cotton fishermans cap, grey wool/fur Ushanka, Stars and Bars bandana, umpteen wooly hats in assorted colours, 1 or 2 baseball caps, 3 or 4 flat caps, motor cycle crash helmet, bicycle protective helmet and many more that have come and gone and I can no longer remember! But not all at the same time:-) Cheers DtG |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 05 Jan 06 - 04:45 PM By the way, what several folks have called a "toque" in this thread is what I've always called a "toboggan". A Google image search for "toque" indicates that the terms are relatively synonomous, but that "toque" also has a much broader meaning. It seems to mean any of a variety of bill-less caps, including those goofy-looking things worn by chefs. |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: Don Firth Date: 05 Jan 06 - 04:51 PM This is NOT a bald spot! It's a solar panel for a sex machine! Most of the time, a Greek fisherman's cap. Black. But— Back in the early 1970s I saw a whole bunch of them in a chandler's shop out on Shilshole Bay, liked them, and bought one. Then, when I went to the first Northwest Folklife Festival I ever went to, I noticed that every guy who had ever sung (or attempted to sing) a sea chantey—and his pet chicken—were wearing Greek fishemen's caps. They're a bloody drug on the market. Very "folky." But I like the thing, it's comfortable, and it's handy. I'm thinking about a change of image, though. I'm told I look good in a fedora. And I have a "Crocodile Dundee" hat that I got at the local Banana Republic stuffed away in a closet somewhere. I'm giving serious consideration to a deerstalker. I think I have the kind of nose that could bring it off. Don Firth |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: jimmyt Date: 05 Jan 06 - 05:10 PM 7 3/4 Clinton I will have to do some checking to see if it is a proper flat cap lady P as it has a button in the middle of the top I have been called a lot of things CLinton, but a retrosexual? Are you sure you didn't mean metrosexual as I have been described before I guess in the best possible way, but I am comfortable with my heterosexuality but I have no problems going to the ballet, to a cooking store, to perform in theater, etc which I guess to some, sort of stretches the boundaries of "manly" behavior. Retrosexual......It has a ring to it.......Yeah, I think I am a retrosexual! |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: Janie Date: 05 Jan 06 - 05:15 PM A brown wool fedora when it is chilly but ain't windy. A Tilley for sailing and kayaking (when I can find it.) Blondish and gray hair or a straw hat in the garden. A wool beret when it is cold. A wool toboggan (that's what I call 'em too) when it is really cold. A baseball style hat that says "Other People's Money" when I don't need a hat but do need a shower and a shampoo. A big black witch's hat for Halloween! Janie |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: Joybell Date: 05 Jan 06 - 05:17 PM A white furry-type Akubra that's modelled on a high-crown Stetson. A very elaborate lace and roses arrangement in all black. A flat plate-shaped straw one with two white doves on top and lots of pink ribbons and lace. A bag-lady seen-better-days bonnet with the flowers hanging off. A genuine American farmer/engineer stripped cap that makes everyone do train whistles at me. Any one of several velvet berets from when I wanted to be a Beatnik. A Faerie halo with tinsel stars. A purple sparkly wig. Never really found my personal style. Still experimenting. Cheers, Joy |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: lady penelope Date: 05 Jan 06 - 05:21 PM Ooh, is it a button that 'un pops' Jimmyt? 'Cos if it is, it's something I haven't seen for years. A bonafide marching flat cap. Worn by those who went on marches (like the local Orange men or Knights of St. Columba, or indeed, football supporters) the button could be replaced by a pompom in the appropriate colours, making it a hat for all occasions....... |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: artbrooks Date: 05 Jan 06 - 05:36 PM I usually wear something on my head...the hair went away years ago, and the sun is dangerous year around at 6000 feet. Most often a crusher"cowboy" hat or a baseball-type hat from my favorite microbrewery. When it's cold out, I usually wear a "cap, watch, wool, black" (that's what the tag inside says) and, for summer hiking, one of these with a bandana stuck under it in the back for the Foreign Legion look. |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: GUEST,DB Date: 05 Jan 06 - 05:49 PM In the winter I wear a black, woolen cap - which my ex said made me look like a bank robber (cool!!). In the summer I wear a panama - which probably makes me look like a git - but it stops the top of my head burning. When I go abroad, on holiday, natives of the country that I am visiting tend to come up to me and say things like , "aaahhh - typical Englishman!!" Must make sure not to visit anywhere where they tend to shoot or kidnap 'typical Englishmen'. |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: lady penelope Date: 05 Jan 06 - 05:52 PM Ooh Art, I do like the look of the crusher hat, they've got one big enough for my fat head and it's Green! I may well go mad and order me one..... |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 05 Jan 06 - 06:27 PM Addendum to opening post: I mentioned that when I'm not wearing my baseball caps they adorn my instrument cases which lean upright against the wall. I also mentioned that this practice has led to some friction among the instruments. Well, it's gotten worse. Obviously, caps can only be worn by instruments which (A) have necks and (B) live in traditionally shaped cases. While that describes most of my instruments, I also have a Fender Strat that lives in a rectangular case, an Autoharp and a hammer dulcimer which live in cases shaped, oddly enough, like an Autoharp and a hammer dulcimer, plus a couple of bodhrans which live in round quilted bags. There is no way to stretch caps over their heads. Heck, I can't even tell which end is supposed to be the head. Anyway, they're all demanding equal treatment and I don't know what to do. Even the stretchiest XXL knit toque won't go over he head of an 18" bodhran. Maybe I'll let them wear sport coats instead. |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 05 Jan 06 - 06:27 PM "You wear your beard on your head?" Clinton indicates some amazement at that. But, the head is a fairly common place to wear a beard. Somewhere in the vicinity of the chin. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: Clinton Hammond Date: 05 Jan 06 - 06:54 PM "Are you sure you didn't mean metrosexual" I'm POSITIVE I didn't mean that... Retrosexual is more historic.... "the head is a fairly common place to wear a beard" Just about every beard I've ever seen has been on someones FACE, not their head... but I'm splitting hairs... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 05 Jan 06 - 07:50 PM The convention in this part of the world is to wear the face on the head. And the beard on the chin, due south of the mouth. |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: GUEST,Chongo Chimp Date: 05 Jan 06 - 08:20 PM I wear a fedora. I have three. One for workin', one for Sundays, and one for really special occasions. The workin' one has seen a lotta use. There's one other thing I wear on my head, and you can see it in the right light conditions when I doff the hat. It's a halo. Believe, it, chump. I have done some good in this world, even if I fall short of what some might call perfection. |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: Joe Offer Date: 05 Jan 06 - 09:21 PM Although I asked about my Greek fisherman's cap in this thread (click) I haven't really started wearing it on a regular basis. I have to own clothing a number of years before I feel it's really "me." What I do weak is a light brown, crushable Harris Tweed hat that looks like a battered version of the hats Rex Harrison used to wear. I found one at a thrift store for fifty cents, and I really loved it. I was supposed to go on an eighth-grade outing to the seashore with my oldest son (now age 32), and I planned to wear that hat although #1 Son hated it. The hat disappeared before the trip, and I seriously believe that my ex-wife had something to do with the disappearance. A couple of years later, I saw a picture of my dad wearing a hat that was exactly the same as my thrift store hat. I asked Dad if he could mark it for me so I could have it after he died. My mom said she'd do me one better, and she gave me the hat right away because she hated it. So, that's the hat I wear - but I was careful not to wear it around my mother or my ex-wife. Mom died a year ago and the ex-wife got remarried, so the hat is safe. -Joe-

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: PoppaGator Date: 06 Jan 06 - 12:48 AM Irish crushable: http://www.hannahats.com/. I have a gray one very similar to that shown at the top of the page. It's a Hanna hat imported from Donegal and purchased a couple of years ago from Meyer The Hatter on St. Charles Avenue in downtown New Orleans. Unaccustomed as I am to the northern winter, I make it a point to keep my head covered whenever I venture outdoors. I have a nice collection of baseball caps, but find myself using this one tweed cap almost to the exclusion of all other alternatives. When I go indoors and take it off, find it very convenient to stuff it into the sleeve of my jacket. Because it truly is "crushable," it is completely unaffected by this treatment. It's formal/dressy enough for most occasions, and comfortable even in the most informal circumstances. |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 06 Jan 06 - 05:24 AM SunnySister, I also wear a bun & as I'm a librarian 13 months from retiring, mine is an authentic greying bun & is also held insecurely with pins that often fall out. I have decided to be one of those old women who scatter bobby pins around! I will keep the pin manufacturers & retailers solvent. Over my bun in summer I wear a wonderful straw hat with a wide brim decorated with a wide black satin ribbon tied in a loose bow at centre back,& in winter I wear a red or a black beret. The summer hat came from the local St Vincent de Paul shop last year & cost $5 & replaced my absolute favourite hat, a very battered boater I've been wearing since the 70's. I didn't have the heart to throw the old boater away, so I put it on Teddy who is a 20" bear who sits on my bed, beside my pillow. Makes life a bit awkward as the hat is a very stiff straw, & the ragged brim gets in the way when I reach for the alarm clock. I've also had the berets since the 70's. The red one is a little large for me & has had a handmade birchwood Birch brooch on the side. The brooch was made by a Latvian woman about 25 years ago & has been on the beret since I bought it. The black beret has 2 woodedn Japanese brooches on the side. The brooches are 5-sided and are pieces from a chess-like game & are made of pale wood with the character for footsoldier/army. When I wear my beret into Chinatown I sometimes get the character translated (again). I am never seen without a hat when outside my place - I even wear my hat or beret grocery shopping. sandra |

Subject: ADD: Never Go Walking Out Without Your Hat Pin From: GUEST,Wordless Woman Date: 06 Jan 06 - 11:17 AM Lady Penelope and Sandra in Sydney you are women after my own heart! I have a fetching collection of hats, the best of which were purchased in the UK, where all the best hats live. Today's hat is a lovely amber wool boucle cloche with black velvet trim and kept on with a decorative but lethal amethyst hatpin. Never Go Walking Out Without Your Hat Pin My Granny was a very shrewd old lady. The smartest woman that I ever met. She used to say "Now listen to me Sadie", there's one thing you never must forget. Never go walking out without your hat pin. The law won't let you carry more than that! For if you go walking out without your hat pin, you may lose your head as well as lose your hat! My granny said men never could be trusted. No matter how refined they might appear. She said that many maiden's hearts got busted. Because men never have but one idea. I heard that grandpa really was a mess... So grandma knew where of she spoke...,I guess... Never go walking out without your hat pin. Not even to some very classy joint. For when a fella sees that you have got a hat pin, He's very much more apt to get the "point"! My momma set quite a bad example, she never heeded grandmama's advice. She found that if you give a man a sample, The sample somehow never does suffice! In fact it's thought that I may not have been... If mom had not gone out...without...her pin.... Never go walking out without your hat pin. It's about the best protection you have got! For if you go walking out without your hat pin, You may come home without your "you know what"! |

Subject: ADD: Where Did You Get That Hat^^^ From: GUEST,Wordless Woman Date: 06 Jan 06 - 12:05 PM Here's a song - well, lyrics anyway - to everyone who wears a hat: Where Did You Get That Hat - Jas. Rolmaz 1901 Chorus Where did you get that hat Where did you get that tile Isn't it a knobby one In just the proper style I should like to have one Just the same as that (Where 'ere i go they shout) "Hello, where did you get that hat?" Now how I came to get this hat Is very strange and funny My uncle died and left to me His property and money And when the will it was read out They told me straight and flat If I'm to have his money I must also wear his hat Chorus When I go to the concert hall In the concert season Someone's is sure to shout at me Without the slightest reason When I go to the opera hall To have a jolly spree There's one or two sopranos Who are sure to shout at me "Hello where did you get that hat?" Chorus When Mr. And Mrs. Ramsbottom Had their last garden party I was amongst the guests, Who had a welcome true and hearty. The Prince of Wales was also there, And my heart jumped with glee, When someone said the prince Would like to have a word with me, "Hello, where did you get that hat?"^^^ |
