Reply To: When did hats get so big?

I have seen some men wearing hats covered with plastic shopping bags when it is raining, presumably to protect the hat. Two problems:

1. If the hat is felt, it does not need protection from rain. Felt is made to recover from being rained on.

2. Putting a plastic shopping bag on a hat looks … well, … stupid, hardly the way one would stand before any king, especially the King of kings.

Another thing: One of the posters referred to a certain hat as “hamburg”. I believe that hat is worn by the counter personnel at fast food restaurants.
