Capt. Lazarus Gage Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 My wife thinks i'm crazy for wearing my tri-corn around the house almost daily. If i'm home I have it on most of the time. So I was woundering how often the rest of you wear your tri corns, scarfs, what have you. Am I really just crazy??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarborMaster Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Everytime I am Drinkin (At home on weekends) or out in someones field building them a drainfield for thier septic system., so I actually wear my doo-rag and tricorn quite a bit. I have worn it to Disney land., and the Gasparilla fest as well., and will be wearing it in April and part of May in the Philippines about town island to island as well as on the dive boats. Personally I wish more people would wear them back into popularity again! I am not Lost .,I am Exploring.

Pirate Petee Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Usually only at events. Sometimes when I had a bit to much to drink and theres been a long time in between events, I'll throw it on and fire off the cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in a leather shop and made both my tricorne and vest out of leather, so I get to wear em on a daily basis and man does it increase leather sales.

BeaufortsPyrateWench Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I have mine on when ever I get the chance....and yes drinking at the house/boat will cause it too....but the last party I had a few weeks ago everyone was wearing my hat but me......strange.

Caraccioli Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I used to wear a Fedora a lot - back when I wore a suit regularly. But I always felt it was unseemly to wear it indoors unless on your way to some place. I'm not sure where I got that idea from to be honest. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"

greenighs Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 When I get mine in two weeks(ish), you bet I'll be wearing it all over. Home, shopping, everywhere. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Mission, it's a good manners thing. Wearing a hat indoors is simply bad manners - it gives your guests or hosts the impression you want to leave. I too used to wear a fedora a lot (and don't it look sharp with a suit?!). Either that or a bush hat. People took the micky until it rained. These days it tends to me a straw panama in hot weather and a bush hat in bad.

Pirate Petee Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I don't know if it started in the military, but covers come off when you go inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumba Rue Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Well with the exception of Foxe, the rest o' you need some manners when wearin' a hat indoors, especially around a lady! Hmmmfffff! Take the dang thing off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caraccioli Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Mission, it's a good manners thing. Wearing a hat indoors is simply bad manners - it gives your guests or hosts the impression you want to leave That makes sense. I'm sure I read it somewhere when I started wearing hats regularly - probably the reason I did it. I too used to wear a fedora a lot (and don't it look sharp with a suit?!). It do, it do. For the longest time I wanted a navy fedora, but never found one. So I wore my black fedora with navy suits. It looked somewhat better than they grey and far better than the brown.

Capt. Lazarus Gage Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 Also...I just purchased my first set of boots for my now almost done attire. I bought a set of the Big Bell Custom Swashbucklers from CA boots, does anyone have any boots from this company, and if so, are they all they are cracked up to be????

Captain Bob Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I don't know if it started in the military, but covers come off when you go inside. Actually, if you're bearing arms (in an official military capacity), the hat stays on. ISTR reading somewhere that the custom of doffing one's hat indoors and as a polite greeting originated during the late 17th or early 18th century, and had something to do with the wigs in fashion at the time. --Cap'n Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall Mike Bismuth van der Bulge Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Arr, I used t'be wearin' hats. More o' baseball caps than anythin' else, as I be not havin' a tricorne. I been contemplatin' makin' one. Alas, I be at lack of materials. However, I do wear me sea green bandana around me house, and occasionally in public.

Zephaniah W Nash Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Actually, still trying to find a hat I really like. I've got the cavalier-type, which has since become just a wide-brim (I lost the pin one day and the shape went away, but I'm beginning to prefer it as-is). I do tend to wear my scarf or a bandanna quite a bit, but that's mostly to keep m'poor baldin' skull warm in winter and un-sunburned in summer...

Hawkyns Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 OK, is it just me, or does any else hear Tom Jones singing "You Can Keep Your Hat On" whenever I see this thread? Hawkyns Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl I do what I do for my own reasons. I do not require anyone to follow me. I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs. if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.

Grrrrrrrrr! Actually, aside from wearing it when I'm at home on my computer in the coldest room of the house, by myself, I imagined I'd wear it to all my activities, not at them.

Capt. Lazarus Gage Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 I've got two hats from The MacKay, my first was the long john silver, and i've got a barbossa coming in the post. Amazing hats. I've also got my Boots from CA Boots on the way, which I am very eager to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
