Now, even the blocking is done at the factory, so most hats come ready to wear right from the box.

A hat went round for the band and came back filled with cash.

An image of the elderly man outside in the wide- brimmed hat comes back to me.

Well, as it happens, (hat man came a day or two ago.

The face moved away, so that his hat and great beard came into view.

There's no clue as to where the hat came from or whose it is.

Along with hats will come the elaborate hairstyles of the day.

A tall man in a black felt hat came in.

A folded black hat came out of the brief case next.

For the first time the hat also came with a built in plume socket.
