What do you use the fedora for, other than wearing it? I find it makes a comfy nest for the Mogwai when I bring him to work...

How sweet... I got one of those little Mogwais (Not a real one
) when I was younger. Unfortunately I lost it somehow.
But remember: Don't feed him after midnight.

If you get really bored, you can always use it for card-throwing target practice...

Well, if it was made by Baron California Hats, you could use it as a pooper scooper, 'cause that's what it's full of anyway...

How about a nice plant pot growing a big old African Violet?

I used it as a drinking vessel. After a very hot, climb through a sun exposed mountain trail, I literally walked into a mountain pond and scooping water with my fedora over my face and mouth.

Wish I had taken photos at the time, but (at least in my case) a fedora makea a GREAT kitten bed.
.....odd, I know. But it was during the time between my second DP and my Mayser. And since it didn't fit anymore, I had to do SOMETHING with the DP

I've found that they are really fun to toss at hat poles (racks), like Sean used to do in the old Bond films.
Occasionally I actually land it on the peg.
Most of the time it just falls onto the floor and I have to start all over again.

A Skirt Magnet. Catches the good ones, repulses the bad. Almost like magic.
