I think the guys buying this today are Monkeyleg's normal customers. They thought the model came with the hat. :P

When I was younger, anyone wearing that hat would have been a super-dork.

Well, in the 1920's most all hat-wearing was done by women, so yeah, a guy wearing that hat would have raised a few eyebrows.
I promise not to duck.

Actually, AJ, the wearing of hats amongst men was common and fashionable right up to about the 1960's. By "hats" I mean dress hats, not MacKenzie brothers hats. ;)

Also, isn't the Zardoz photo a violation of APS rules now?
Violation? It's practically the APS mascot.  :P

Good enough for the hero of Canton.

At 41:17, there's a quite good rendition of "The Hero of Canton."
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist."
--Lysander Spooner

I reject your authoritah!

There is a hat in that photo?

The hat should have stopped at Jayne.
I shall not die alone, alone, but kin to all the powers,
As merry as the ancient sun and fighting like the flowers.

Every pic I've seen from the 1950's and earlier show men wearing some form of hat outdoors. Fedora, cowboy hat etc depending on region.

It was customary for English middle class men to often wear a suit and hat no matter what the event (Alfred Hitchcock dressed in this middle class fashion).

There was a photo published in the Houghton/Hancock MI newspaper of my grandfather fishing in a rowboot wearing a suit and hat.

He didn't look like Doug MacKenzie, though.

I want a Jayne hat..... =D
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Back then, was "Doing the Charleston" all the rage it's made out to be in history books?

I've been seeing these hats on guys the last couple of months (minus the fuzzy balls) :




So that's what I've been doing wrong....I haven't been wearing the hat......
