hats: technical terms etc

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

is there a proper name for the mid-80's look hat favoured by von, the nephilim, the mish etc.

it's christmas and i've only got a limited wish list. i anticipate a rush of stetsons, akubras, rancher hats etc. fancy dress is all the rage round our way this year and one likes to look ones best

its also a reflection of the passage of years in that my proud mohican of that era can no longer rear it's (not-too-) ugly head. solely due to responsibility taking over from irresponsibility at some point in the intervening years, of course

Von would have looked rather fetching in one ... clicky
Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.

The black one's getting close but I'd suggest you'd have to jump up and down on it a few times and spill some lager on it to 'crisp' it up and give it that weathered look. :von:

Edit: The link seems to have changed, so click on western leather hats, then suede outback.

Indeed, and one of the more 'interesting' Sisters related claims to fame.

Yes. I've always wondered whether the flour turned gluey like papier mache when he got all sweaty on stage (*holds that thought*) :lol:
