Men in hats.

(NOT the orchestrators of the rather bizarre "Safety Dance"!)

I LIKE men wearing hats, I've decided. Proper hats, with a crown and a brim. Fedoras, trilbys etc. With a suit, of course.

There's something really quite appealing, indeed charming, about a gentleman doffing his hat to me - can't remember the last time I had a satisfactory doff.

Yep. This, ladies, marks the beginning of my one-woman campaign to raise awareness of good male headwear, and the art of good doffing. Who is with me???

(Uniform berets are good too, of course.)

The only hats DH wears are at work. I can remember he once wanted a trilby, but I suppose he didn't have the confidence to actually go for it.

I agree that hat doffing is certainly nice, and doesn't happen enough!

I got doffed by an old geezer once and it was quite nice.

A male friend of mine wears a flat cap and he is only in his 30's. I like it. It suits him.

But yeah, proper hats with the appropriate attire. I am up for it!

Well my father, brother and hubby are all hat -wearers Very Happy

Mostly pork-pies and trilbys with the occasional fedora or fez Very Happy

My son is following in the footsteps too although he mostly favours cowboy hats and beanies (caps with a twirly thing on top).

I've never known them to doff them though Confused

I have hat-wearing friends who are also doff-virgins. It's a growing problem Confused

I think they worry about old wives tales; if they doff too enthusiastically, it may eventually fall off - that sort of thing?

Of course, the classic myth of too much doffing affecting their eyesight; well, whilst this may be a problem in early days, it can be corrected by ensuring the hat is put back in the correct position afterwards.
