Why should we wear hats?


Here are some of the reasons to wear a hat:

• Visual Effect- The fashion of a hat can add a look of elegance and charm to almost any outfit. You might even call it the "icing on the cake", so to speak. It is an eye catcher and draws attention to the wearer in all cases. So if you want to make a statement or simply stand out in the crowd, you might consider adding a hat to your ensemble.

• The Bad Hair Day- A hat is a perfect solution to a bad hair day. What better way to get rid of a problem than to cover it up? How else do you think we got the phrase "keep it under your hat"? It was used to cover up that nasty little secret.

• To Prevent Hypothermia- One of the best ways to keep warm is to keep your head covered. You will be noticeably warmer if you do this simple thing.

• To go incognito- Wearing a hat can add to a convincing disguise when you don't want to be recognized. 

• Simply to have fun- So pick out a style of hat that fits your personality and enjoy the day under the shade!

Authentic Western Hats

                                                       www.hats4everyone.com

Authentic Western Hats captures the true independent American West spirit. It is a true statement of style, function and durability.

 The traditional cowboy hat is a high-crowned, wide-brimmed hat best known as the defining piece of attire for the North American cowboy. Today it is worn by many people, and is particularly associated with ranch workers in the western and southern United States. It is also worn by many country-western singers and  participants in the North American rodeo circuit. It is recognized around the world as part of Old West lore. The shape of a cowboy hat's crown and brim are often modified by the wearer for fashion and to protect against weather.

The Western Cowboy hat  is an item of apparel that can be worn in any corner of the world, and receive immediate recognition as part of North American cowboy culture.

Modern cowboy hats are made of fur-based felt,straw or less often, leather or rawhide. They are sold with a tall, rounded crown and a wide flat brim. They have a simple sweat band on the inside to stabilize the fit of the head, and usually a small decorative hat band on the outside of the crown. Hats are customized by creasing the crown and rolling the brim. Often a more decorative hat band is added. In some places, "stampede strings" or "wind strings" are also attached. Hats can be manufactured in virtually any color, but are most often seen in shades of beige, brown and black. Beginning in the 1940's, pastel colors were introduced, seen often on hats worn by movie cowboys and rodeo riders. Today's cowboy hat has remained basically unchanged in construction and design since the first one was created in 1865 by J.B. Stetson.

St. Patrick's Day from the beginning

                                                           www.hats4everyone.com


St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17, the saint's religious feast day and the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over 1,000 years. On St. Patrick's Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink and feast--on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage. Today, we enjoy corned beef and cabbage. There are several traditions that have developed over the years such as:

The Chicago River on St. Patrick's Day

As Irish immigrants spread out over the United States, other cities developed their own traditions. One of these is Chicago’s annual dyeing of the Chicago River green.  The practice started in 1962, when city pollution-control workers used dyes to trace illegal sewage discharges and realized that the green dye might provide a unique way to celebrate the holiday. That year, they released 100 pounds of green vegetable dye into the river--enough to keep it green for a week! Today, in order to minimize environmental damage, only 40 pounds of dye are used, and the river turns green for only several hours. 

Although Chicago historians claim their city's idea for a river of green was original, some natives of Savannah,Georgia (whose St. Patrick's Day parade, the oldest in the nation, dates back to 1813) believe the idea originated in their town. They point out that, in 1961, a hotel restaurant manager named Tom Woolley convinced city officials to dye Savannah's river green. The experiment didn't exactly work as planned, and the water only took on a slight greenish hue. Savannah never attempted to dye its river again, but Woolley maintains (though others refute the claim) that he personally suggested the idea to Chicago's Mayor Richard J. Daley. 

St. Patrick's Day Around the World

Today, people of all backgrounds celebrate St. Patrick's Day, especially throughout the United States, Canada and Australia. Although North America is home to the largest productions, St. Patrick's Day is celebrated in many other locations far from Ireland, including Japan, Singapore and Russia. The "wearing of the green" is now world wide. Along with this is the drinking of "green beer" at your local pub or tavern and don't forget the "hats" that now go along with this tradition.

 

Casual hats 4 everyone

                                                             www.hats4everyone.com


Casual hats come in many types for many different people. Some of the most common types that come to mind might be: OUTDOOR HATS


Fishing hats

These usually are a "baseball" type of hat made of cotton, canvas or a blend of materials to withstand some elements and abuse. They are an adjustable hat made to fit multiple different hat sizes. They will have a picture or saying on the front of the hat to depict what the hat is about. Here are some examples.

Hunting hats

These hats can be many different styles and colors but the most common color will be the camouflage or woodland camouflage. They are an adjustable hat made to fit multiple different hat sizes. Some hats can be plain while others offer a quote on the front and they are made of blended material to withstand elements and abuse. Here are two examples of possible choices.










Sports or logo hats

These hats are in the same basic style, but with many different logos or sayings on the front or sides of the hats. Whether you are showing your team spirit or your favorite beverage, these hats can tell the world exactly how you feel. Most of these hats are the "snapback" style with a rolled or flat brim. They are made in the typical 6 panel style from mesh, cotton or a blend of fabrics to withstand elements and abuse.  Normally, the logo is embroidered on the front or possible the side of the hat. Here are some examples:

Hats for women of 2013

                                               WOMEN AND THE HATS THEY WEAR
                                                          www.hats4everyone.com

 The modern woman of 2013 knows we don’t have to wear a hat, and many have decided they want to wear them.  Even if you are not a hat lover, there is still an event or occasion when you want to, or have to wear one. 

• Wide brimmed fancies are prevalent at weddings, luncheons, the races, funerals and church.

•  Casual hats protect the skin at the beach, the park, sporting events, and for a walk around town. 

    The styles range from gorgeous creations to cute functionality.   For sun/rain protection, for warmth, to represent your team, for style or respect, there will always be an occasion when a hat is required.

• Many styles of hats are unisex.  Fedoras are popular and can be dressed up for the modern woman by adding ribbons, silk flowers or scarves to transform the hat into your own personal creation. Women should add the hatband decorations to the right side.

• Kate  Middleton wears hats, and she often wears what is called a Fascinator. That is a hat that is attached to your head with a headband.  It will virtually fit all head sizes.  As you can guess, Fascinators are very popular right now due to Kate Middleton.

• In fashion terms, hats are a very noticeable accessory because the onlooker’s attention is first drawn to the face. A hat is the most noticeable fashion item anyone can wear.  The old saying goes 'if you want to get ahead and get noticed, then get a hat'.  Indeed the word 'ahead' means just that one head further forward.

Why do people wear hats?

                                               WHY DO PEOPLE WEAR HATS?

                                                       www.hats4everyone.com

Why People Wear Hats
People wear  lots of different types of hats. From simple straw hats to sun visors to designer caps for making just the right fashion statement, a hat can tell you a lot about the wearer. If you ask someone about their hat they will usually tell you why they wear it. But, there may be more to it than what they tell you.  Here are the most common reasons people wear  hats. It may just be one or some combination of these three: protection, affiliation and style.

• Hats for Protection 
  When a person is exposed to the elements (sun, heat, rain and cold) a hat can protect the ears, neck, face and top of the head.  A wide brim  hat is the best choice to offer the best protection for the wearer.

• Hats for Affiliation 
  People who belong to a specific group, club or team often want their head wear to identify that affiliation. Most team sport hats fit this category. Also other outdoor activities like fishing, hunting, golfing or tennis. Military hats would also be included in this category. Whether an active member of the Armed Forces or a Veteran, your hat would show your affiliation.

• Hats for Style 
  People like to wear the latest fashion, style or just follow the latest trend. Cadet style hats are a good example. They are distressed (made to look used) and have a small bill. Although they provide minimum protection they are very popular among the fashion conscious. Decorative sun visors are another example of head wear that is more about style than function.

Just make sure that you do not make the hat too tight. If so, remove some of the padding that you have applied to the crown band for a more comfortable fit.

If you can slide your index finger between your head and the hat, it fits correctly.

HATS FOR SAFETY

• As Americans are getting more concerned about protecting themselves from the dangers of too much sun, and its contribution to too much skin cancer in our culture, they are also turning back to an old safety device that’s also a fashion statement — the hat.

• According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, there is a trend in clothing designers to not only bring back the hat, but to include styles that offer wide brims and offer protection for the face, ears and neck against the suns ultraviolet radiation (UVR). Exposure to the UVR does increase your risk of all skin cancers.
