i wonder if anybody sane would ACTUALLY wear that in public.

[wankle.livejournal.com]

The prerequisites would be:

1) You're British
2) You're wearing it to your husband's funeral
3) He was worth $10M+
4) You killed him.

[wankle.livejournal.com]

Or Italian.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Or if you are me.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

I would. But you know me by now.

[freudian-slip.livejournal.com]

i don't think you would wear it.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Yes I would!

C'mere and let me tie this swath of chiffon around yer head...

I love that website! The embroidered smoking cap is marvelous.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

It is such a Cecil Beaton inspired sort of hat.

[carrieann.livejournal.com]

Not that I could ever pull it off, but I actually like it. Reminds me of the horse race scene in My Fair Lady.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It is all about playing up Ascot race fantasies.

Hats

I think I'd rather have the model. If the hat came along with, enh, that's-a fine. ;)

Interesting, though, riffling through the gentlemen's hats. A place pricier than Filson (http://www.filson.com/home/index.jsp), for headgear of probably equal durability. (One fairly standard fedora hat I saw listed for 165 quid.)

I think I'd rather keep my money local.

But the hat you linked to looks quite fetching.

Oh come on, Filson has only been going since 1897 whereas Lock's has been making hats since 1676!

ol' skool is the technical term.

[sarahparah.livejournal.com]

You found the best hat on that website.

We could do a musical number in matching hats.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Oooooh yeah. It would be so Stanley Donan. Would it be for a dream sequence?

[robiewankenobie.livejournal.com]

i feel somewhat pedestrian...but i'd prefer this http://www.jameslock.co.uk/prod2.taf?groupId=100389&_UserReference=0024F44879BE04B543B338AC

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

I dunno...the hat you picked is pretty darn posh.

[hopefoot.livejournal.com]

I finally fixed the brightness and contrast on my boyfriend's monitor just so I could show him that hat. And then I found this hat - http://www.jameslock.co.uk/prod2.taf?groupId=100002&_UserReference=0024F44879BE04B543B338AC - that I'd like to have for him. He looks good in hats. We're hat people.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Tell him he must have it.

[la-sherazade.livejournal.com]

Ah mah gawd, you can ONLY wear that to funerals and weddings! (and polo matches)

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

and the royal ascot.

[the-sybil.livejournal.com]

I think the model needs a dress. Perhaps you could give her one in exchange for the hat.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

If you have a great hat you never need anything else.

[drcosmos.livejournal.com]

Well, I long for this one

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

You should put it on your wish list. "Would like an embroidered smoking cap and the complete annotated Sherlock Holmes."
