    Gentlemen and fellow hat lovers,

    I'm looking for hat suggestions. Looking for something classy to go with a navy pinstripe suit, a light blue shirt, and dark blue tie. Further complications: I have a big fat head so it's difficult for me to find hats that fit and/or don't look silly. Ideas?

    Suggestions may help, looking at a hat on line may catch your eye, but you'll never know how it really looks on YOU until you try it on.

    Find a hat store and try on a bunch. And be sure to take someone who will give you an honest opinion about what looks good and what looks like you're wearing a pig on your head.

    Since you have a big fat head you do need a good hat store that can block your hat properly so it fits. You would be surprised how well a nicely fitted hat sits on your head vs an off the rack one size fits all hat.

    I stand by what I said. The last time the Cubs won a championship, women weren't even allowed to vote...
