    I SOOOO wanted that Spider-Man mask hat. Instead I had a Spidey-model very similar to the one on top, with the little embroidered Spidey figure.

    I did have a ski-mask CLOSE to the Spidey one that I used to play Spidey...even in the summer, and I sweated like crazy!

      When I was in kindergarten back in '71, I called ski masks "Oooh Hats". That's b/c 2 boys in my class had them, and used to chase the girls when they wore them, screaming "OOOOH!" They were in cool colors and had rings around the eyes and mouth. I wanted one and my mom wasn't having it. Instead she bought me a plain white one similar to H but w/ the whole face out. I just rolled my eyes, the boys had the same reaction.

        It's a bit tight, and a bit faded, but I've managed to keep mine all through these years! This was the coolest ski mask ever.

            BTW, remembering these hats from back in the day, I bought one for my boy doll Danny a couple of years ago:

              Wow, nice Hedji! I'm insanely jealous.

              I still have my Spidey one (similar to "F") and a Superman one similar to "E" but with one embroidered "S" shield.

                Thanks, Chris! I'm pretty sure I had the Batman one with the pom pom, because I distinctly remember pulling the strands of yarn out one by one until they were gone.

                  Another question: what did you guys call these kinds of hats as kids?

                  My family called them shabagons or tabogans. I'm certain "shabogan" isn't a real word, and tabogan is of course a kind of bobsled, so I'm not sure if that's right either.

                  I tend to call them "ski hats" nowadays.

                      I called the top ones beanies and the bottom ones ski masks. Still have my Steelers beanie from the 7th grade. Last time I tried to put it on, I looked like Adebisi from Oz.

                      You are transparent; I see many things... I see plans within plans.

                        That is awesome.
                        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                          Wear the Spiderman hat/mask in a liquor store, you'll either get laughed at or shot? probably both.

                            For me it was tuques, beanies or bobble hats (only if it had a pom-pom)... for the hats.
                            And ski-masks or balaclavas for the full face garments.
