Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: Peace Date: 07 Jan 06 - 08:40 PM I think people who do not 'work' using horses/quads to take care of their cattle and who walk around wearing Stetsons look like bloody fools. They seldom know the difference between heifers, cows, steers and bulls, and trying to 'pass' as cowboys/cowgirls makes them look really stupid. That includes those dolts who go on stage at the Grand Old Opry--which is another stupid thing. |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: Joybell Date: 07 Jan 06 - 08:21 PM Again on the high-crown-Akubra look - Western Australian Aboriginal stockmen wear their hats in this style. If you look at an Akubra catalog you see all sorts of styles not just the ones worn in the suburbs of our big cities. Also Slim Dusty used an American Country line-up, complete with pedal steel, for his backing band, and they played with an American Country sound. (Nary a button accordion, tin whistle, banjo-mandolin, bones, spoons, lagerphone.) The "cowboys" were OK, I reckon. Cheers, Joy |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: number 6 Date: 07 Jan 06 - 04:57 PM Actually a wide brimmed had (such as a cowboy hat) is practical. As Metchosin stated it keeps the rain well of you and harmful sun rays off your neck. That's why the Ontario Provincial Police were issued those Mountie or Smokey hats. Reason being (from what I heard) is that an OPP officer developed skin cancer on his neck. He subsequently sued on the basis that the force did not issue appropriate head gear. sIx |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: Joe Offer Date: 07 Jan 06 - 04:43 PM Hmmm. "A pint's a pound the world around." And there are eight pints in a gallon, which means a gallon weighs eight pounds. So, a ten gallon hat, full of water, weight how much? I've spent a lifetime wondering about that. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: GUEST,The Deli Lama Date: 07 Jan 06 - 04:26 PM "Your dislike of country music is just one more example of your dislike of much of what goes on in America by normal Americans." Thus speaks the resident redneck. Martin, why are you addressing this to Bobert? He hasn't even posted on this thread! It looks like you're confusing Bobert (who lives in West Virginia) with bodad. Lost again, eh? And how does one deal with the mentality that allowed what happened in West Virginia? I think Bobert (since you've addressed your remarks to him and he may not even see this) is on top of that issue. When the government regulatory agencies look the other way when mine owners ignore safety matters and a dozen miners get killed as a result of the negligence of both the mine owners and the government regulatory agencies, I think Bobert probably deals with it the way any intelligent person would. Sadness mixed with anger, and a determination to change the kind of regime that allows this sort of thing. How do YOU deal with it? Just shrug your shoulders and figure, "Well, accidents happen. Just as long as the profits keep rolling in, who cares?" The Deli Lama |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: Joybell Date: 07 Jan 06 - 04:16 PM Sandra, I love your description of your head wear. Re the "cowboys" at Slim Dusty's funeral - True-Love's tall-crowned, black, cowboy style-hat is an Akubra. They've always made that style here aparently. Some Aussies have always worn them (often punched down into a lower shape). It's only lately that everyone wears the same stlye of Akubra in the same brown colours, punched down even lower. Mine's white - "The Bobby" (worn with the crown up.) Once at a Folk Festival a young man came up to Hildebrand and said, "That is a perfectly ridiculous hat!" Later we saw the same fella dancing around in a flowered, beribboned hat with a bunch of Morris Dancers. He grinned at us in a friendly way. Cheers, Joy |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: Metchosin Date: 07 Jan 06 - 03:45 PM One thing about cowboy hats from experience is that they do make an excellent bucket to dump river water over your head when its too friggin' hot out in the bush. S'pose that's where they get the term" ten gallon hat". But in the winter they don't do a very good job of keeping the rain and snow, when its cut on the bias, from running down your neck. |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: bobad Date: 07 Jan 06 - 02:06 PM Where I live, if you don't wear a hat during at least the winter months, you'll lose more brain cells than if you listen to country music all the time. I'm not a cowboy, so I don't wear a cowboy hat. |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: Metchosin Date: 06 Jan 06 - 09:38 PM oh gee..... I usually wear the hood on my Wetskins, cause its raining and I hate water running down my neck. When I'm riding in Alberta I wear an Akubra or or something like that, but when I ride around here, where its less dangerous, I wear a helmet. Go figure. LOL And sometimes when I'm prepared for all weather, I wear the hood under my hat or helmet, despite the fact that it screws my side vision somewhat. |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: Azizi Date: 06 Jan 06 - 09:31 PM Sandra and others who are interested, I hope that you get a chance to see some real African fashions in person {"real" as opposed to make pretend pseudo-African or African inspired-which might still be aesthetically pleasing but isn't authentic}.... Anyway, down the bottom of the last hyperlink I shared is a link for Yoruba men's clothing {including the fila hat-since this is a hat thread}. But here's another great site I found: African fashions It doesn't have a lot of hats-but seeing these fashions here may be the next best thing to seeing them in person. Best wishes, Azizi PS: I should say that there are many different kinds of African fashion. The pages I linked to are only a small example of West African fashion. The Senagalese, for example, are known for their clothing...I'm not sure if their clothing is featured in that last hyperlink. Enjoy! |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 06 Jan 06 - 09:08 PM When country legend & good bloke Slim Dusty died my colleagues & I watched the crowds outside the cathedral who were watching the funeral on a big screen. Among the crowd were what must have been a bluegrass trio in white shirts, cord ties (dunno it's proper name), jeans & 10-gallon hats! Not Akubras like Slim & other Oz singers & citizens wear, but huge American cowboy hats. I was immediately prejudiced against them on seeing those bloody un-Australian hats. sandra |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: bobad Date: 06 Jan 06 - 08:38 PM Martin I was wonderin' what a turbin cowboy was so I googled it: Redneck Chic "Just take the damned cowboy hat off, Tex." If there's one rising trend in American popular-music culture that destroys my sanity--- perhaps even above the mindlessness of "gangsta" rap--- it is what I call the �countrification� of the United States. Country music, and all of its accompanying behavioral quirks, has seemingly and officially fulfilled its quest to permeate the fabric of our society. I would love to know which bright think-tank coordinated this effort, and WHY. Now, I can accept this sort of thing going on in the southern and mid-western United States (in fact, I expect it), but I live in the northeast--- Massachusetts, to be precise--- and I simply cannot, WILL NOT, sit idly by as one of the last places in the country which was traditionally free of this "Ahm-a goin' c-UH-ntry" nonsense succumbs to the onset of Redneck Chic. As a guideline (though with exceptions)--- country music is the very height of mundane sappiness. There's nothing particularly exciting about some drawling, genetically dubious twat butchering the life out of a pentatonic scale with a twangy guitar. Perhaps if it were just a "music thing", it wouldn't be such a bane of my existence, but more often than not, I find that it comes down to being a behavioral mindset with these c-UH-ntry clowns. I do not understand why someone not born into the redneck way of life would find it fashionable to the point that they would voluntarily impart it upon themself. What's the attraction? I wish that somebody who could give me a sound explanation would step forward. What makes a person wake up one day, and think to themself: "you know, it might do me good to dress up like a third-rate John Wayne, and take on the personality of a belligerent dullard."? Again, there are eerie parallels with our endearing culture of "ghetto chic". Whatever the reason, it has become "hip" to walk and talk as if one has a sixth-grade education. I hope that no one finds this to be a startling revelation. Ever notice that every jackass who gets propped up in front of some daytime talk-show camera either speaks like Forrest Gump or 50 Cent? Our lives have been overtaken by "Bubbas" and "Lil' Dre Doggy Doggz". I can only hope that it isn't contagious, though it seems that it is. What's the story with this pandemic, "ruff-n-tuff" cowboy fantasy that goes on in this country? How many real cowboys, by trade, do we have left? A few hundred? So what about all of these other ass punchers, for Christ's sake? Where's the costume party, cowboy? Perhaps they're Trick-or-Treating--- for chewing tobacco, six packs of Old Milwaukee, and second cousins to pork when the sun goes down. I don't know. I'm just as confused as you are. Maybe where some of you come from, some damned "bubba" in a pick-up truck and a cowboy hat is (at least) somewhat appropriate, but in eastern Massachusetts, it's nothing short of f*cking imbecilic. What's the pick-up truck for--- the rugged terrain of the greater Boston area? To navigate through the treacherous, mud-strewn trails down at the mall and the local burger joint? I encounter these douchebags when I am in line for my morning coffee at the drive-through. Sure enough, there's the stupid cowboy hat, and the ear drum-sodomizing sounds of Garth Brooks pouring forth from the 7,000,000 ton, dual rear wheeled, extended cab deluxe, Rodeo-Edition Limited pick-up truck. Of course, if I'm really in luck, I'll get to pass the time examining all of its proudly displayed stickers for NASCAR, six-shooters, high-performance automotive parts, Confederate flags (always doubly amusing in the northern US), and Harley Davidson (usually, these are the same halfwits who are also "bikers" in their spare time). Of course the most bitter of all realizations, is that "ol' Jim Bob" in front me is typically something in the way of a f*cking shoe salesman, and the closest that he's ever come to a-ropin'-and-a-brandin' a herd of cattle, was yesterday when he went to Subway and ordered a large steak and god damned cheese with everything on it. An applicable word leaps to mind: "delusional". Also; when I inquire as to what the possible allure of listening to country music could be, I fail to acknowledge the veracity of these conclusions: 1.) Random male: "Like, Faith Hill is hot. And you know it." 2.) Random male: "Like, Shania Twain is hot. And you know it." 3.) Random female: "Like, Toby Keith is hot. You wouldn't understand." 4.) Random female: "Like, Vince Gill is hot. You wouldn't understand." Incredible. Grown up persons--- all of whom presumably underwent some form of schooling during the course of their lives--- predicating their musical preferences upon the physical looks of the performer. I expect this rationale from 12 year-olds, not adults. I also tend to shy away from the assertion that "c-UH-ntry" music is the spirit of America, "and if'n ya'll don't listen to it, then ya'll are kinda like America-haters and communists." --- and this is AFTER informing the mouth-breather that my voting record HARDLY makes me a left-leaning utopian. This does very little in the way of accrediting the image of a musical style which already induces auto-associations to other grand cultural achievements such as steer wrestling, calf roping, bull riding, "coon" hunting, calf dressing (yes, that's putting a calf into human clothes--- don't forget to bring grandma along), and line dancing. In other words--- "grand cultural achievements" should be taken to mean "insensately dumb hick activities". Where do they come up with this garbage? What's next--- banjo f*cking? As for the poseurs in the northeastern United State--- just take the damned cowboy hat off, Tex. True to life cowboys are few and far between, and our modern-day, suburban lifestyles cannot be toughened by the dull-witted, nasal twang of a country song, a comically large belt buckle, and a homely plaid shirt. Donkey. It's all Billy-Ray Cyrus' fault. He brought it to the rest of the country in the 1990s, and this is one moronic storm that I'll just have to wait out. In the meantime, I'll be the guy behind the "NASCAR-hero" sitting in the Ford F350, at the drive through window, consumed by both irrepressible laughter and rage. I hope that I'm not alone. See you next month, kiddies. |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 06 Jan 06 - 08:24 PM Wordless woman - thankyou for the praise. I also own 4 or 5 other hats, all wide brimmed straws & most are boater style. Somewhere I also have a silly hat for festivals, it's an old bluey-green, 1960's?? cloche shape in a soft silky/fleecy material that was hard to pull down over my ears cos of my hairstyle. Lots of folk here wear silly hats at festivals - is this just an Oz tradition or it widespread? Lots of folks also wear sensible hats, shady or warm depending on weather. Azizi - that's a great site, I'd never really seen African clothes before, just the occassional pic in a newspaper or book. Sydney has an African community in a suburb that I cross on my way to another & I can see interesting hairdressers & food shops from the bus, but I've never had time to get out & look around. It might be an idea to leave early one day & interrupt my journey. sandra |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: Azizi Date: 06 Jan 06 - 07:50 PM I meant to note that the shawls shown on that page that I linked to are the length and width of the material that is used for the head wrap. IMO, wrapping a gele is an acquired skill and the resulting head wrap can be a work of art. Unfortunately, few African American women know how to wrap geles. Personally, I don't like the Erykah Badu's big, towering turban look. I bet that turban was awfully heavy. I think Erykah Badu wore her headwrap that way because she didn't know anyone who knew how to wrap the Yoruba style geles. ;0} Here's some photos of Erykah Badu with and without what was her signature turban look. |

Subject: RE: BS: What do YOU wear on your head? From: Azizi Date: 06 Jan 06 - 07:23 PM I wear a gele on my head when I am doing African cultural programming. Sometimes I wear a gele at other times just to cover my head from the cold or just because I feel like it. A gele is a Yoruba {Nigeria, West Africa} word for a headwrap that is made by tying and tucking a rectangular piece of material in different ways. The cloth might be the same pattern as the rest of your outfit, or its pattern and color{s} may just compliment that your {African or Western style} outfit. HERE is a page that shows examples of different gele/head wraps. |

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?"^^^ |

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: 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: 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: 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-
