I want my halloween costume to be (primarily but not exclusively) an elaborate hat, and I want to make it. I have two and a half weeks, and somewhere between $25-$45 to devote to things to put on the base hat (I have a free and/or inexpensive source for various kinds of hats, and so am not factoring that into my expenses). I want it to be clever, to be ridiculous like Marie Antoinette and her wigs, and I want it to be something I can wear all night. What should I do? [more inside]

I used to have a brown UPS drives hat. It was the old style with the plastic buckle. It was given to me in 1998 or so by a UPS driver that I randomly asked if he knew where I could get a hat from. I was doing a school project where I wore a different style of hat every week for the entire school year. Anyway. At some point I lost the hat. I would like to get another one. Anyone know where I can get it, or just really sturdy hats with the nice plastic snap buckles any more? The ones with the holes and pegs in them. [more inside]

So, in high school, I found this website that sold custom-made fur hats. The hats were cat-eared and could be made with a ribbon strap under the chin. The fur-fabrics you could choose from were kawaii-style: neon colors, loud patterns, etc. I want to buy one of these hats now as a Christmas present, but can't find the site. Does anyone know the site, or have a similar site to suggest?

[Hatfilter] I'm trying to find the Giants hat Tom Coughlin was wearing during Super Bowl XLII. It is standard Giants blue with the white "ny" logo on the front, but it had the SBXLII logo on the side. I saw it at Modells before the big game, but I failed to purchase it then. I've had not luck hunting it down in-store (Modells, Reebok, Lids, Champs, etc) and my google-fu is failing me online as well. Help me find this hat!

Is frequently wearing hats a bad idea if you have dandruff? Some days it's cold enough to warrant a hat, but mostly I just like hats and not having to do my hair. Would styling it with hair product be any better or worse?
