maelzoid Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'm on the lookout for a new one as my last one disintegrated in the rain at IOW in 2012. I like a straw cowboy hat (as above). Anyone else remember the trend in the mid-90s of bright floppy jesters caps and top-hats? Oh, the mid-90s... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All other styles are just hats that get worn at festivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 The decline of the jester's hat marks the general trend towards the festival losing what used to make it special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Being a folically challenged gentleman hats are very important to me in the summer. I plan to take a selection. Can't go too far wrong with a straw trillby. However I may don a flat cap if the mood takes me. Then finally there is my tried and tested foam dome.

little_jim Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 My now very faded once dark blue bucket hat has seen many a festival and still going strong, with the odd badge and Who patch added over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie_and_a_pint Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Thanks for the reminder - I must buy a new straw hat of some ilk for this year's festival. The old one has bitten the dust. And of course a woolly hat for those cold evenings you get when it's been hot, sunny, clear blue skies all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo57 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 My 'Glasto hat' as I call is is pretty much the same as the top one in the opening post. Handy little overlap on the ribbon that is the exact size to hold a joint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranquility of Solitude Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Last year I only had baseball caps and looked like a lost golfer, so hit the antique and charity shops this year. Came up with this little beauty. might be decorated a bit pre June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6t6o6m Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I have received a Mongolian hat from a friend that I will have to wear for the entirety of the festival. It does sod in preventing the sun from hitting my face and neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
