your not alone, its funny how its hard to work out wether the people who wear them like that thinks its cool or lack the intelligence to straighten them

[Waylander]

I have two that I particularly like. One is an old dirty baseball cap that I've been seen in in most of the few pictures that exhist of me on this site. The other is a black felt broad rim cowboy hat. I usually only wear the felt hat when I get dressed up. I'll see about getting pics up once I get my camera.

Like this . Mine is a LOT more battered though. Its been through quite a bit. Mrs Ixion has a rather nice red one.

Well from all of the ones i have heard talk, my general concensus is that they have the lack of intelligence to straighten them...

Do you get the pith taken out of you when you wear that hat mithta?

I'm a hat person,been wearing them since I was a kid....but not the ones Mum wanted me to wear.So it can't be to hide my baldness....These days it's a black bill job at work,a black beany right now because it's cold,and most often a leather wide brim.Sometimes a twead cheesecutter,leather cap,straw hat,balaclava - whatever....I must be a Jew cause I have to have my head covered.As a filthy young man with shiny jeans I had a felt hat that was all covered in grease because I worked on Bedford trucks,I wore it everywhere,it was disgusting...but then so was I at that stage.....

My favourite hat is my Angels World Series 2002 cap (62.5cm fixed size).

My Tui towelling hat - as pictured.

Well actually, not as pictured. I have a replacement in the same style now, as my original ended up somewhere on the side of SH1 while I stepped out of the car to puke (few too many post race beers) and I didn't notice until I was sober in the morning and about 50km away.

Is this the result of one too many exfoliating face scrubs?

Ah, a funny guy. No, my true identity remains hidden form those who have not yet met me. Plus you never know which devious friends may find the picture and 'photoshop' it in nasty ways. Pixellation protects you from that somewhat.

That Shoei XXL ain't just for show! :Pokey:

[N4CR]

Damnit! My parents and their fancy phones are away and my dads hardcore digital slr is getting fixed as it got sand in it from a desert in nambia (the non edible kind ;) ).... Anyway I have a collection of MONGOLIAN hats... one has the big pointy bit on the top 'Ghengis' anyone :D?

[White trash]

Mine. It's comfy and warm and nice and far too fucken expensive. Wish the Arai importer would sort their shit out.

Did you notice that the thumbnail seems to cancel the pixelation to the point that I could probably recognise you if I saw you in the street? In the thumbnail your face looks a little out of focus but that's all...

I have a very extensive selection of hats: woolly hats, a pig-skin hat, baseball hats, a pixie hat, a court jester's hat, etc etc. It started off with me wearing silly hats, but then when my hair started sinking into my pate and coming out elsewhere on my body, I started covering up more.

I'm thinking one day I'll have a "hat party", and anyone who comes without a hat will be given one of mine to wear.
Favourites? Depends on the occasion. The ones I wear the most are an Avonmore baseball hat, a Bikepoint hat, and two Kathmandu skullcap thingies (wore them both at once when I was up Cardrona in a blizzard).

Sorry - no pix, as I've no hats at work, except my thinking cap (not on at the moment).

[zadok]

This is my 'Aussie' hat. I definitely need it for my follically challenged head. :motu:

[Indiana_Jones]

I wonder what mine could be.........hmmm maybe the Fedora :D

..

I reckon I should use it instead of a bike helmet. Cos one time in Chinese Gardens, walking along in the dark, I turned my head to check on Mrs Ixion (apparently following a respectful distance behind me, in reality hanging back so as to be able to dive off and buy things ), and failed to notice a large tree coming up, with large branch over path. Little Asian guy in front of me strolled merrily under it, I followed and 'wallop'. Hit VERY hard (I walk very fast). Knocked me clean off my feet. "Wot the hell just happened" Big lump of tree branch bark knocked off.

But no headache, no injury and the only damage to the topi was a stain on the fabric and a little dent that disappeared after a few days. I'm quite sure that without it I'd have had at least a fractured skull.

(Incidentally it's a sola topi, not a pith helmet. The latter only used in Africa and of quite different construction)

LoL, niceone.

Yes. Apparently if you look at the full-sized picture and squint, it also has the same effect.
