There's nothing more fashionable than a (red) beard, a fedora and a cruiser-bike (I know, I'm so vain today). Only problem: fedoras offer no protection. The engineering problem thus: create a fedora that works as well as a helmet.-- cartoon_nate, Jul 30 2008 (?) Fedora(ish) Hard Hat http://www.thefedor...wthread.php?t=21687One man's version. (For the record, hard hats like these without the customized band are available from Vulcan and come in black, white, off-white, and natural.)

But then he had a crotch injury after a long road race, gained 120 lbs, got the job with Goldfinger, and discovered that a sharpened brim added value to his helmet.-- bungston, Jul 30 2008 Apparently you can't crash with Fedora. That's what the Linux guys tell me...-- wagster, Jul 30 2008 I like. + Now get to work on the beret.-- blissmiss, Jul 31 2008 Okay y'all...
