Time to Bring Back the Top Hat?
Funny, just yesterday I was wondering if there was ever a situation in which a man could wear a top hat without coming off all camp or postmodern about it. I don’t think there is. Unfortunately.
“Beavers in downtown Martinez, who would think?” said Beth Lucas.
It’s a (perhaps) little known fact that the only thing that saved the beaver in North America is that fashionable men up and decided they wanted silk hats. Sounds like Martinez needs a specialist hatter industry.

And here I’ve never donned a morning suit much less worn a fine top hat. Another unfulfilled life of desperate quietness.

Yeah see? People just don’t do it anymore. But they’re aching for a comeback. C’mon, Martinez!
