The Waymart sold porkpie hats with chaff whistles and cinch-strings with just the right balance of chaff to cinch to allow for a seamless fit. The alms man preferred a rattan boater with a green hatband, a gift from the harridan’s sister who wore a going-to-church sunbonnet with marigolds, dahlias and hyssops arranged in a circlet on the top. Calico Cat hats and hats made from Ruggeri and ammonite, a haberdasher’s spectacle of hats, caps, bonnets and toques. A milliner’s hatter of hats: bonnets, caps, toques, boaters, bucket hats, fedoras, pointy, slouchy, sun bonnets, Trilbies, Balmoral Bonnet, Borsalino, zucchetto, turban, Boucle, capuchon, Taqiyah, Suma cap, Flat cap, garrison cap, wedge cap, rain hat, kepi, skullcap cap, Kufi cap, Nasaq toque, Salakot, newsboy cap and the nightcap cap. The man in the hat kept of list of all the hats he knew the names for starting with his own collection of hats. He owned two fedoras, one cowboy hat, several boaters, a rain hat, three flat caps, two bowlers, three porkpie hats and a beret, which he wore every second Thursday or on those days when he felt like wearing a slouchy hat or a pointy cap but not a flat cap or a zucchetto.
