I wear beanies all the time.

No. I used to wear Chicago bulls hats, Than I realized the hat wearing idea was getting old

I'm glad that somebody finally posted a topic about this! I collect and occasionally wear vintage fedoras. I'm part of a forum dedicated to the history and appreciation of fine vintage hats/clothing. Hat collecting is a great yet sometimes expensive hobby. The best hats are fur felt hats made with 100% genuine beaver fur. Quality felt hats can also be made with rabbit and mink blended with beaver. People tend to go crazy for hats manufactured before the 1960's as the felting process has changed significantly over the years. I posted some of the hats currently in my possession below.

I do not own this one, however I hope I will be able to one day.

One of these in decent condition from the 50's or earlier can be worth somewhere in excess of $400.00+

This post will also serve as a public service announcement. If you wear fedoras just... don't. They look terrible, and I guarantee you do not look nearly as cool/stylish as you think you do when wearing one (It's often very detracting).

[coin-god]

People disliking what other people wear? Is that a new thing?

I have a fedora I like to wear whenever I go to town. I really don't care what people think of me. I don't dress to impress either.

Wtf? I didn't know people wore those hats for real.

Did you know new employees are called "Nooglers," and are given a propeller beanie cap to wear on their first Friday. So there are people who wear those hats for real.

[Johan]

I wear hats about 5 times a year tops, I hate it and only use it when it's extremely sunny outside or I'm going to a Yankees game. It was just never part of my "style" growing up

[ultimatelizardman]

I occasionally wear the patrol cap which i got for 5€ at a military surplus store.

[SonOfLiberty]

Yes. I used to wear a really cool Fedora about a year ago, but it got squashed. Might get another one.

[•¿F¡ññ4L¡ƒ£?•]

I did used to wear caps a few years back when all my mates did as well.

I wore this one for a little while.


Had one like this for a few years before that one ^

Do you wear hats?

No.

[Harley]

I wear a beanie if it's really cold.

lol at people wearing fedoras and trilbys. Especially when they wear them a little tilted, thinking they're some 1930s bad boy. Like those guys who wear long leather jackets through town and think they're in The Matrix.

[Max]

I'm so glad the Fedora thing hasn't caught on in the UK, what a ridiculous piece of headgear to wear in this day and age. Acne-ridden, overweight, pasty late-teens cannot pull it off.

Was going to post the same thing but didn't feel like reading the bitch fest about me that would surely ensue.

[GTAKid667]

I don't like hats and so never really wear them. I suppose I may only wear them once or twice a year

[Grove Street Balla]

baseball caps

I don't think they wear fedoras because of the movies. They got really popular 3-4 years ago (at least around here), and suddenly they popped up again with the whole geek culture thing. Sure, maybe a few people are wearing fedoras to look like a noir detective, but a lot of them are doing it just to fit in with the crowd. I remember back a few years ago when they were popular I asked my grandma to buy me one for my birthday. I'm so ashamed of my younger self.

Also posted because last summer I was on a beach in Ohio and this guy was walking around alone with a black leather longcoat, black sunglasses, and a black fedora. It was about 80F out that day, the poor guy must have taken too many blue pills.

[Nipperkins]

If you're not into ska, you shouldn't wear fedoras.

[tokyocean]

I got back into wearing hats. Beanies, fitted hats, and snapbacks are where it's at for me. I don't wear a hat most of the time through the day, but when I do, I love wearing them. I love wearing hats of teams I'm a fan of.

 

I think it's ridiculous that some people would judge you negatively for the kind of hat that you wear.

[DSO_BillV]

Oh god, the fedora meter's off the charts! Quick, someone get the flamethrower! It's the only way to make sure.

[Criѕtian]

This. Other than that I don't see the point in wearing one, but then again, I don't see the point in wearing accessories (that don't have a practical purpose, like a watch) in general.

[Kuruma.]

I maybe would consider wearing hats for when it's cold in the winter but I get such terrible hat hair and it's f*cking annoying.

[BabeRuth]

Yes I do.

The only hats I wear are with the symbols of "NY" or if it says "New York".

[Sauron]

I work outside so I wear hats all the time. Gotta protect myself from those UV rays.
