This game that was like a hybrid of Spyro the Dragon and Super Mario 64 was such a fun platformer and a shining example of what indie developers can do. Playing as Hat Kid running through worlds, making new hats and equipping different powerups to them, and all while meeting hilarious and quirky characters was a delight. Humor was definitely this game’s strongest suit, with several moments that made me laugh or grin. The story itself was a delight and often makes you question if you’re really a hero or not, which was a really interesting angle for this game to take. It’s not a long adventure, and not always a well polished one, but it is a fun one.… Expand

6. This is not the best version. PC has a workshop and that’s what made that game extremely fun! Now it feels a bit bland, and useless to pick upThis is not the best version. PC has a workshop and that’s what made that game extremely fun! Now it feels a bit bland, and useless to pick up this game when you complete it and 100% everything. It’s not worth it. There were a bit of frame drops and a bit of lag here and there. But if you got a good physical copy, you got seal the deal for free! Neat! Just don’t play killing two birds. Lag is it’s middle name.

   If you want a time waster and a fun game, pick this game up. Or just get the PC version. Whatever floats your boat.… Expand

Hats in Spanish-speaking countries

It would seem that for many today a hat is already such a thing that is not entirely obligatory. Simply put, it is considered almost a relic of the past, and the etiquette associated with this headdress is becoming less and less relevant. Meanwhile, in different parts of the world, a hat is nothing less than a part of the cultural code, emphasizing the identity of the people.

Let’s talk about hats in Spanish-speaking countries and what they represent.

1. Sombrero mexicano

This type of hat is also called sombrero de charro, or rider’s hat. This headdress dates back to the 17th century. At that time, only the Spaniards, representatives of noble families, owners of estates (hacienda) had the prerogative to ride a horse. They hired local shepherds (charro) to take care of the cattle, who had to dress in such a way that they could not be confused with the nobility. Sombrero de charro has become a symbol of Mexico, although the roots of this headdress must be sought in Spain — Andalusia and Navarre, where such a hat was a sign of wealthy farmers. Sombrero de charro, as a rule, is made from straw, in a more expensive version — from felt, felt, hare hair. This is a multifunctional headgear: it protects against the scorching Mexican sun, falls from a horse and can be used as a shield when attacking a charro with a machete. Despite the fact that the sombrero is beautiful, in modern Mexico it is almost never worn, except, of course, for some special cases due to cultural traditions. nine0003

2. Sombrero cordobés

The Cordoba hat, as the name suggests, comes from Cordoba, a city in the Spanish Autonomous Community of Andalusia. It is an integral part of the image of flamenco performers and is perceived outside of Spain as a symbol of this country. The origin of the Cordoba hat is not entirely clear, it is only known that its image can be found on engravings of the 17th century. It is believed that at that time olive pickers wore it: straw hats got wet in the rain and were disheveled in the wind, and a reliable felt hat with wide brim protected olive plantation workers in both heat and bad weather. The cordovan hat has its own standard sizes. So, the height of the crown is 10-12 cm, the length of the fields is 8-12 cm. Black is considered a classic color, but you can find Cordoba hats in green, gray, red and blue. By the way, such a hat can be seen on the famous character Zorro. The hero of Antonio Banderas in the films about the adventures of this hero wears just such. nine0003

3. Sombrero vueltiao

The famous Colombian upside-down hat (as the name translates) is made from the fibers of a local cane called caña flecha. It was invented by representatives of the Indian people Senu (Zenú), who, even before the Spaniards appeared on the mainland, wore a hat during the harvest of corn. She protected from the sun and served as a symbol of fertility. The main value of the vueltiao hat is that it is very flexible — the more the better. There are several types of vueltiao, which differ in the number of pairs of interlaced fibers. The Quinciano hat is considered the most popular and cheapest. It takes only 15 pairs of fibers and three days to make, while it takes about a month to create a Veintisiete hat from 27 pairs. In this case, the finished hat will be the most comfortable, flexible and, of course, expensive. Today, it is worn by performers of the Colombian folk music of vallenato and cumbia, and in 2004, the vueltao hat was recognized as a cultural symbol of Colombia. You can recognize this one by its visually straw-like texture, wide curving up fields and a characteristic black pattern. nine0003

4. Sombrero bombín

The famous bowler hat, known to us, in particular, in the image of Charlie Chaplin, the painting by René Magritte «The Son of Man» and the film adaptation of the book «A Clockwork Orange» by Stanley Kubrick, was created in London around the middle of the 19th century. Having been part of the wardrobe of the working class in Britain, Ireland and the United States, this comfortable hard felt headwear has subsequently migrated to the wardrobe of the middle class and wealthy residents. In the 1920s, the bowler hat gained popularity among Aymara and Quechua women in Bolivia, where it was «promoted» by British railroad workers. For some time, bowlers for Bolivia were sewn in factories in Italy, today they are made by local craftsmen. nine0003

5. Sombrero panamá

Panama in Ecuador, where it is considered the national headdress, is a straw hat with a brim, woven from the soft and flexible fibers of the local plant Carludovica palmata. Its other names are toquilla (toquilla), hipihapa (jipijapa) and Puerto Rico (puerto rico). Hat weaving in Ecuador gradually developed from the beginning of the 17th century and reached its apogee in the middle of the 19th, when an entrepreneur named Manuel Alfaro (Manuel Alfaro) organized the production of hats in the town of Montecristi (Montecristi) — therefore, by the way, the wicker Ecuadorian hat is also called montecristi superfino. A light-colored hat with a brim and a slightly sagging crown, which outwardly has nothing to do with the very Panama hat that is customary to wear in the summer to protect from the sun, got its name due to its popularity during the construction of the Panama Canal. Then the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, arrived wearing such a hat to see how the project was progressing. Today, the best quality toquilla, despite the fact that such hats are also made in China, can only be purchased in Ecuador. nine0003

6. Sombrero de tango

Argentine stage tango dancer’s hat is an essential element of his image, capable of emphasizing elegance in movement. The tradition of wearing a hat comes from ancient times, and until the end of the 19th century, dancers wore mostly black hats with a high crown. In our time, it is customary to wear a hat with a smaller crown and gray. As a rule, it is framed by a ribbon, and outwardly the hat looks like a classic fedora with a tulle sagging in the middle.

Sherlock Holmes hat: review on deerstalker hat

#Interesting

Men who prefer to dress stylishly have caps and hats in their wardrobe. Among the latter, a very rare and extraordinary model deserves special attention — deerstalker . ..

Reading time: 9 minutes

Among modern hats, baseball caps and simple knitted hats are the most popular. However, men who prefer to dress stylishly also have caps and hats in their wardrobe. Among the latter, a very rare and extraordinary model deserves special attention — deerstalker hat, that is, a deer hunter’s hat. It is quite often also called the Sherlock Holmes hat, and it is about it that we will discuss in our today’s article.
nine0003

History

The exact date of the appearance of the legendary Sherlock Holmes hat is unknown, but it is safe to say that in the last third of the 19th century it was already popular in the British Empire. It was worn exclusively in the countryside — for example, while hunting deer and walking through the forests. The unusual design of the hat is actually very practical: flaps allow you to protect your ears from cold and wind, and two visors protect your head from both the sun and rain or snow, as well as branches, which is important for hunters. It is obvious that it was precisely due to the popularity among hunters that this headdress began to be called deerstalker hat or simply deerstalker since 1870.
nine0003

Another name for the hat — Sherlock Holmes hat — is due to the fact that the legendary literary hero was often depicted in this headdress. Arthur Conan Doyle’s novels and stories about Sherlock Holmes began to appear in 1887, that is, at a time when the deer hunter’s hat was already popular. It is these hats that can be seen in a number of films and TV shows about Sherlock Holmes, but it is curious that none of the works of Conan Doyle directly states that the main character wore these hats. However, the story «Silver» still contains a mention that Holmes wore a cap with flaps for the ears, and deerstalker fits this description perfectly, especially since at the end of the 19th century it was the most popular cap «with ears».
nine0003

Variations

The classic Sherlock Holmes hat is made of wool, but today there are also versions made of suede, as well as cotton (including denim). Budget copies can be made from partially synthetic fabrics. In addition, deer hunter hats differ from each other in the number of pieces of fabric from which their main part is made (either 6 or 8), as well as the type of lining (quilted or smooth, cotton or artificial. Occasionally there are reversible options — they can be worn turned inside out.
nine0003

The visors on hats such as deerstalker hats are sometimes made very extensive, actually turning them into brims; there are no flaps to protect the ears on these models. The corresponding hats are usually referred to as sportsman’s deerstalker and are worn by fishermen rather than hunters.

In addition, it is worth noting that Sherlock Holmes hats are available in a fairly wide range of shades and ornaments. Sometimes one hat is made from several pieces of different fabrics, which gives it an extraordinary and at the same time quite specific look. The corresponding models are produced, in particular, by the Irish company Hanna Hats. nine0003

Signs of a good classic Sherlock Holmes hat

Very few brands make such hats these days, but still we think that information about the hallmarks of a quality Sherlock Holmes hat would not be superfluous. So, here are the main signs of a solid classic product:

• Main fabric 100% wool (typically Irish or Scottish tweed).
• Lining in 100% viscose or other breathable material. nine0073
• Classic fit and no questionable decorations.
• Discreet tones characteristic of the British wardrobe in country style.
• Two visors that protrude quite a bit forward and backward, as well as flaps to protect the ears from the cold.
• Irish or British production.

How can you wear a Sherlock Holmes hat?

The Deerstalker hat is an informal piece of country style. Accordingly, this hat looks best with tweed coats, suits and jackets, corduroy trousers, and waxed jackets. Quite acceptable, although less classic, are the pairing of a Sherlock Holmes hat with jeans, chinos, quilted jackets, duffle coats, pea jackets, and not-too-formal raincoats.
