Who Killed Men's Hats? Think Of A Three Letter Word Beginning With 'I'

C'mon. PJ O'Rourke? Is that supposed to be some sly, postmodern reference to retrograde '80s culture or just a Yuppie twitch? If that guy had his way, Reagan would still be president, Alzheimer's and death be damned. PJ O'Rourke should probably be the last person on earth you consult for fashion advice, short of the Pope, whose bathing habits aren't available to us mere mortals, but who has at least one die-hard fan left...

In all seriousness, hats are great; like anything else, they'll see a comeback when the pendulum swings the other way. I smoke a pipe and shave with a straightrazor, when I don't have a beard (which is most of the time). I think I'll buy myself a good hat one of these days just to bring it back and prove old PJ wrong.

Hey, I think the Pope is very well dressed for a major religious leader. And he has a wide selection of very nice hats.

Would you care to make a $1 bet regarding the popularity of hats over the next 20 years?

P. J. O'Rourke is an old curmudgeon, and old curmudgeons give the best advice.

Yes, but they also give the worst advice; the trick is distinguishing the one from the other.
