Not to mention, the history of hats, manufacturing info, and more, more, more. Hats off to hatsuk.com. http://www.hatsuk.com/hatsuk/hatsukhtml/bible/glossary.htm Top #56394 - 02/12/02 09:21 AM Re: The things you find RhubarbCommando Pooh-Bah Registered: 08/23/00 Posts: 2204 The most famous large-scale manufacturer of men's hats in england used to advertise its wares with the phrase, "If you want to get a head, get a hat!"

Top #56397 - 02/12/02 01:05 PM Re: The things you find Faldage Carpal Tunnel Registered: 12/01/00 Posts: 13653 I first read the name of the site as hat suk I read it the same way (and the pig got up...).

In movies of (say) the 1940's, men routinely wear hats, but today they do not. How come?

Alas, it appears that the ubiquitous baseball cap has usurped the proper hat's place, and the custom of men removing their headgear indoors has also vanished. I still do it, but I seem to be the only one.
