Truly a gift to younger men for whom hats are unfamiliar foreign objects. Remember, please, it was Douglas Fairbanks Jr., late, great bon vivant (and, of course, my favorite godfather), who remarked, "I doff my hat for dinner, sex, presidents and the occasional cathedral."
Will, your service to civility grows each week. That you may fight a losing battle is to be tearfully regretted.
Why just last week, a Beverly Hills ambassador of good taste strolled Bedford Drive in snappy straw boater when approached by a life form in underslung jeans and rhinestone-studded ears.
"Say, mister," the ill-attired mongrel inquired, "Are you with a carnival or sumthin?"
Boater man walked quietly on, thinking to himself that demographics and birth rates condemn our nation to a future of high-tech sneakers and pidgin English.
But press on, good man, press on.

Hi Will!

You keep pushing the frontiers in ASW and I'm lovin' it!
ta,
....I'm a hat guy and find you have to play around with it to get the right tilt for'ard or to port or starboard. It varies from hat to hat I find depending on the shape of your fizzer I suppose. Pace Wilding the skimmer has probably moved into carnival territory so maybe the mongrel wasn't so far of the mark, but this still leaves the Panama and some other straw hats for headgear enthusiasts. What has and has not moved over the line into the archaic/humorous is a rather fine matter of judgement it seems to me. Ascots have become slightly comic but neckerchiefs still work and scarves are positively avant garde. I noticed you critiqued Will a few months back for wearing a DB waistcoat. Now DB waistcoats are somewhat archaic but then so are waistcoats in general so the degree of difference between a SB and DB would almost certainly escape most people and therefore I submit Will and the DB crowd can wear them without much merriment being provoked.....most people simply wouldn't notice.
Another take on the boater is coming on 5 July. :-)
