    Now I don't mean your ball caps... I mean your real hats, of any other type.

    These are very special. My hatmaker source hoods (a chunk of felt from which a hat is made) from New York; these were made in the 1950s and stored until resurrected and sold recently.

    He and his wife work together; he makes the bodies and she does the trim.

    Hope you like.

    The Omega version for ‘hatters’ would be the ‘Top Hat’, produced in ‘his and her’ versions, R17.8 and R11.5 respectively. See also AJTT p.147.

    This is after all Omega Forums, not ‘Hatters Hurrah’ or ‘Milliners Monthly’.

    And bikes. And guns... I see this as an online community of human beings. It happens that the common denominator for everyone here is an interest in Omega watches. But I’m not only interested in Omega watches. More than anything I’m interested in people and here I have found threads that allow me to see what people are passionate about. It’s the only platform I use where I’m not surrounded by people who are in my political, social or geographical bubble, so it has something of a mind-broadening quality for me as well. There’s a gratifying lack of politics here - I have plenty of other places I can go to where I can read and vent about the utter shitstorm of a planet we are living on but here I find people I hardly know, mostly being nice to each other.

    in amongst the watch talk I’m all for threads about other stuff. Nobody’s forcing me to click on them anyway. If the non-watch threads get out of hand I’m sure the admins could start a new category called “Non-watch related”.

    So as we cyclists say: chapeau!

    Found this Dodgers hat on the street in a gutter and decided to wear it. I drunkenly lost it in the river last weekend. :(

    Okay, it's not exactly a hat, but this custom knit cap is on its way to me from Tristan Da Cunha, "the most remote inhabited island in the world."

    Ah yes, the Tilley. A hat that can be eaten by an elephant, pooped out the other end, washed, and still used! In fact that same hat went through that process 3 times.

    I do have one somewhere in a closet, and it has never been through an elephant, but still a pretty good hat We often were close to the company store in Toronto and would always drop in to see what they had.

    As someone with a fondness for pocket watches, I feel a kinship with the people of Tristan Da Cunha

    I have a green hat that gets worn once a year on St. Patrick's Day.
    I keep it on the horse statue the rest of the year.
