Might just have to stick to an old fashioned fedora. Those never seem to move on my head.

Not that I don't appreciate the dome out in the open air, but I love hats. Always have. It's a shame there are not as many places to try on hats. Seems without the hair, I went down a size so all my cool hats look too big on my head. Buying off the internet is no fun.

If you have a haberdashery nearby, go there and find out your proper hat size. it will make buying hats on the internet that much more fun and rewarding.

Antimidas,
Good idea! Also, I never knew what a haberdashery was...I think I've seen one nearby. Heh. Learn something new each day. Then I can try on hats, see what styles I like (not to mention size) and get them cheaper on-line. It would definitely make buying on the internet more fun.
Thanks!

No one's used that word since Harry Truman left the profession for politics.

What a word from the past !! The store where my grandfather bought his suits and hats (and from the gentleman who probably fitted his grandfather) referred to himself as a "haberdasher".

We actually have a true men's store in St. Paul called Heimie's Haberdashery (
www.heimies.com). That is where I went for the straight razor shave. I was not impressed with the shave as Mr. B did most of it with one of those single blade orange Bic disposables and it cost me $28 leaving me with about the equivalent of one day's growth. They also refused to do a head shave.
They also make suits by hand for about $1000. You should have seen the look on my face when I saw the price of $350 for a dress shirt! But they definitely have it all there. They also are the only place local I have found that sells wet shave gear. They have a safety razor for $35 which is a great price. But with the rest of their prices and the crappy shave, it is not going to be a regular hang out for me.

That's too bad, man. Sounds like they have a host of good services, just can't execute. That and they sound greedy.

Odd man out, again. I have not experienced the problem with hats. I wear BB caps, skullies, boonies, Stormy Kromers (google that one!), and they all keep their place. The next hat I want to get is a wool player from Kangol which, I'm sure, will work fine as well.

Under Armor makes a skull cap type of hat that sticks very well. make sure you get the cold gear version, very thin but extremely warm

I have found the exact same problem.
My solution? In the winter, wear a hooded top, put the hood up, put the beanie hat over the hood. Stops the hat slipping and gives you 2 layers of warmth for the head. Thus...

Can't say I've ever had a problem but the only hat I'd typically wear is a beanie or similar.

Here's a situation I'm sure many you guys have experienced.
You showup somewhere, meeting new people, wearing either a baseball cap or beanier, etc. The folks who never met you have no idea you're cue-ball bald under the hat. Then,
at some point you remove the hat and get an EXTRA long glance or even stare. Sometimes a smile. Like the other person is thinking: 'holy sh*t you're bald.' After your mini reveal.
Ever have that happen to you?!
