Oscar's Everyone Day

Sunday 22nd June 2025
In 2021 Oscar the Grouch proposed one day each year where "we unite as a community and EVERYONE records an activity of some sort - a dog walk, a run, a swim, a ride, ski if you want...".

Sadly we lost Oscar in March 2024, so now we dedicate Everyone Day to him. Thank you for the inspiration you gave us Oscar.

As the wearer of a top hat ( Salisburys Town Crier ) I don’t believe you need the brim. It’s more about how snug the internal sweat band is. That can be padded out internally to really tighten the fit BUT then you need to take into account how long you’re going to wear it for. It can be quite headache inducing over time.

Although you can also push down on the top of the hat to make it sit firmly on your head, that might be difficult if it’s too tall, so it might be worth considering keeping a little bit of the brim.
