Have you (or someone you know) removed the brim from a (cheap) top hat and still been able to wear the hat?

I've no idea but I found this curious snippet: When the first top hat was worn by the haberdasher John Hetherington in 1797, it caused a near riot. According to a newspaper account, “passersby panicked at the sight. Several women fainted, children screamed, dogs yelped, and an errand boy’s arm was broken when he was trampled by the mob.” So Hetherington was taken to court for wearing “a tall structure having a shining luster calculated to frighten timid people.” </I> victoriana.com |

Minardi - cheap joke sorry! - Top hat is an interactive polling device used in schools and universities.

Also, though I am not familiar with top hats (despite being a posh, horse-riding twat obviously), that one can place both a brimless hat and a hatless brim upon one's head reasonably successfully. Whether it would stay there while you went around your daily business... which seems to me to be an important part of "wearing" something... I do not know. I suspect that's the crux of the question. But why propose the question? What situation led to this? |
