The hat is not dead .... Last nights chanel 4 news terry pratchet was on talking to jon snow wearing a ------ top hat.
Legend.
I'm not sure I've ever seen Terry Pratchett [i]not[/i] wearing a hat! I've met him several times, at book signings, and he's always had one on.
Beanie at work, sealskin one if its raining. Just got a new leather widebrim to replace an ancient stetson that finally died. I like hats - they keeps me head warm and I don't care if folk think I look like a dick.
Currently following the progress of one of these across the Atlantic:

Proper fur, not synthetic. Toasty! 😀
Pictured you more in one of these CZ

Another confirmed hat wearer here! I started finding my head got cold in the winter in my early 20s, and since then have had a selection of hats that make me look like a prat.
Currently favouring a Harris Tweed flat cap that I do think make me look dapper. As I'm now over 40 I think that I can carry it off.
Skull cap under the helmet for riding in cold weather, woollen breton hat (which my wife hates) for working outside / playing football etc in the winter.
I caught the end of the Terry Pratchett interview too last night, what a fantastic hat. Top fellow too, a real bugger about the Altzeimers
Um, maccruiskeen, my Pendleton [i]shirt[/i], is a regular blue-grey check, wool shirt, like my check flannel shirts.
Not unlike this one:

I don't do bright, apart from the occasional red fleece, most of what I wear is subdued or camo.
The Beach Boys were originally called the Pendletones, because surfers wore Pendleton wool shirts après-surf, in the cool evenings. Small pop-culture factoid, there. 😀
That thing you posted is ghastly beyond belief, only an American could wear something like that, without irony...
Not a fan of TP's books but that topper was a thing of beauty.
That thing you posted is ghastly beyond belief,
I know, I'm only teasing. Their shirts are quite handsome. Can you imagine life in the factory where they make those jackets though. Those workers need counselling.
Only Hats I wear are a cycling cap (or Casquette) for riding or a baseball cap for sailing.
I say let your locks flow 😉

The hat is a part of his 'persona'. Without it, he's just another chap with a beard sauntering around Salisbury. (Or at least he used to be, haven't seen him for a while now, sadly I suspect due to his deteriorating health.)
Likewise, if Slash were to tie his hair back, take the hat off, and wear something other than leather trews, he'd be largely anonymous. 🙂
I would say, if anything, hats are going through a revival at the moment/ last few years. You see loads wearing flat caps out and about. I have 3 or 4, and generally don't go out without one.
