We will now investigate the language of haberdashery - specifically, we will discuss the phenomenon of meat hats.
Possibly dating back to the 16th Century, meat hats have continued to please crowds in even the highest circles of society. According to the Hats of Meat Website:
"The expression 'I’ll eat my hat' traces back as far as the 19th century, usually credited to Abraham Lincoln in reference to one of his trademark stovepipe hats, which were often made of tenderloin".
Meat hats may be composed of any sort of bodily material, while the fashion trend remains the bane of PETA members worldwide. Here are a few examples:
The Pork Pie
The Base-Bull Cap
The Brisket Yarmulke (Made from 100% Kosher beef)Now, I'm not saying that it's not creative, but I just don't think that meat translates well into clothing.
Perhaps it's because I think the appeal of having emergency food rations on your head is outweighed by the hats' propensity to attract bears.
I just can't put my finger on it. Is it the sight, the feel, the smell of meat on your head? I just don't understand the appeal of meat hats. Can you help me translate?
