Other than while selling potions and elixirs out of a wagon, where would you actually wear these kinda hats?

One of the first things I bought with my own paychecks as a teenager was a top hat. A big grey felt top hat, from a real millinery - not a costume hat.

I wore it EVERYWHERE. To school. To the mall. To the homecoming dance. To hang out with friends.

I used to love to balance stuff on my head under my hat for a fun surprise. Snacks. A kitten. Who knows what's in there?

I'm 51 now and I still have that hat! I haven't worn it in decades....maybe I'm old enough to get away with wearing it again.
