It's 12 o'clock, and the hats have come out to play. [livejournal.com profile] rafaela (blogging as [livejournal.com profile] star_barnkitty is wearing her Guinness cap, and [livejournal.com profile] mllelaurel and [livejournal.com profile] wired_lizard have been passing the Hat That Looks Good on Everyone between each other, in between discussions of the +1 Hat of Dominance.

[livejournal.com profile] felisdemens suggested that I write about the Hat That Looks Good on Everyone, in fact. There's really not much to it: Anna spied it at the local Salvation Army for all of four bucks, and insisted that I buy it. It's a weather-beaten old brown fedora, with a bit of a suede-like texture to it, battered, missing the cording on the brim, lining coming free inside. Since procuring it, it has been tried on by upwards of 100 people, and it has looks good on every. Last. Person. No exceptions. It's amazing: men, women, children, regardless of coloring, size or facial appearance, the thing suits them. Yesterday, [livejournal.com profile] theloriest begged me (again) to let her have it; today, I think [livejournal.com profile] mllelaurel is quietly threatening to walk off with it. (Don't blame her: it looks really good on her.)

At some point, it's likely to fall apart, and I will be deeply saddened. There's magic in this thing. That's not easy to find.

Aiee! *hides* Let's not put your hat and mine in the same room, lest the universe explode.

Can you tell who made it? Royal Stetson made a cord-free fedora... I know, as I own a brown fedora with a bit of a suede-like texture....

And, yes, it's my favorite hat. I'm currently looking for people online that sell them so I can get a new one when the time comes...

Hat and anti-hat. The mind boggles.

They'd battle like the noodles in "Happy Noodle Versus Sad Noodle"...

Oh, it had a cord, which fell off in short order. The only marking inside reads, "Country Gentleman," which I'm unfamiliar with.
