A system of weights and gyros would be employed in this state-of-the-art hat to ensure that the fedora is cocked at the most stylish angle, for maximum eye-shadowing and silhouette. Merely hold the hat in the way specifically instructed in the Self-Cocking Fedora manual, drop it, and the hat will sit
upon your head perfectly. The added weight would keep the hat securely on your head--no more hat-grabbing in high winds, and the over-the-eye angle helps ensure that the wind doesn't snatch away your hideously expensive gadget-ridden hat.
Only by order, each hat must be made a perfect fit to your head. So measure it right.
self-leveling windproof hat

Similar, but born with practicality, not style, in mind. All well and good, but doesn't bake the fedora. [Eugene, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]

This is one of the two things that succeed when they're cockups. |

Sir. How dare you insinuate that the idea of the self-leveling windproof hat could ever have been conceived in a mind that held any thoughts of practicality. Take that back now. [stares at Eugene.] |

Are they available with auto-doffing for when you pass someone in the street? |
|

AO. funny you should say that, years ago i remember seeing diagrams for strange inventions, and there was a bowler hat that had this mechanism that would tip the hat if you nodded you head. The idea was that if your hands were full, and you passed a woman in the street, you could still be polite. |

but I realy don't think a hat should be heavy, unless it's a helmet. Hey... how about fedora hard hats for the well dressed construction worker? (LOL!) |
|

Apologies, [st3f]. I merely wanted to point out that although the ideas were similar, they are, in fact, most definitely different. |
|
| |
[AO]--as for doffing, one does not doff a fedora; one touches the brim in a negligent kind of salute. |
|
| |
[wess]--just enough weight, not that much. I think that the gyros wouldn't really be necessary, merely the small lead weights. We're speaking of _just enough_ weight to do the job. Bear in mind that the hat is made from a very fine felt, a light material. |
