For all your hat needs.

[Borachio]

I hardly ever wear a hat. It has to be extremely cold or wet for me to do so.

They used to be almost compulsory, though. But I've never really understood it. Doesn't the natural oil in your hair make keeping the interior of a hat clean practically impossible? (Especially that bit round the inside of the head band, what or ever it's called.)

Still, hats!

Only the hats people have on in film productions of prose by Dickens are deemed as real hats in my view

As for me, i never wore an actual hat, although while i was in England i had to use the wool-made head-clothing to protect myself against the hyperborean cold during the winter :/

I own a Fedora. Goes good with a gangster outfit for costume parties.

Needs more hats. However, all you have to know is essentially one thing: Stetsons are cool.

A Perikephalaia looks better than a hat.

Great helm of Albert von Prankh.

Greek helmets ftw.

I personally prefer the Byzantine ones.

All Byzantine army helmets look cool.

I particularly like the Kataphraktoi ones, look pretty scary

Also like the style of the leftmost one in this pic:

Some Byzantine military helmets do remind me of Middle Eastern or even Chinese ones, which is fine, makes the Byzantines seem more epic than those silly Western medieval knights.

Thanks for the Kataphraktoi pic, great atmosphere in that particular presentation

@Synsensa, funny pic. V for Vendetta could have been used too

IMO, that only really goes well with chainmail

I have a santa hat, a pirate hat, and a giant straw hat.

Sean connery wins the thread.

There are only two real legitimate hats in the world, and one is actually called a cover, so really only one hat and one cover. Everything else is a crappy wannabe.

Stetsons are cool

AHAHAHA (points and laughs at army beret). This is a real cover.

Can you tell that they are British?
