My days of hat wearing up til now were primarily a function of my navy service — whereby I was required to wear various head gear in the performance of my duties.
My brother came over day before yesterday in a brown leather looking fedora. He was surprised to see that the conspicuously large hat did not fit on my even larger melon.
Today is National Hat Day. It's a January 15 ocurrence noting the hat in general as both a fashion statement and utilitarian accessory.
I keep thinking I will sucumb to the notion and buy one but it hasn't happened yet. I don't when I became so adamately opposed to hats in general. I suppose it is a function of some underlying dissatisfaction with male pattern baldness or something equally petty.
So if you're so inclined you might don your favorite hat and mark the day in accordance with your personal wishes.
Happy National Hat Day and let me know if you ever see me wearing my black felt fedora as I have planned so many times in the past.
