A poll on a well-known hat

<< < (4/10) > >>

Sgt. Spoon:
Oh I was just poking fun at ourselves for getting annoyed of people wearing it, but eh..  heh

@Hamster, can't wait for that one to get popular with the youth of the future :P
It would be nice with some fancier military caps though

DMaximus:
I love fedoras. Several years ago, I used to wear them all the time. Then I came to a realization: I looked like an idiot. There is a time for everything, and the time for the fedora is not all the time.

Times when it is acceptable to wear a felt fedora: You are in a suit or otherwise formally dressed. It is preferably raining, so you have an actual reason to be wearing the hat. Preferably you are old and your fedora was purchased in the 20's, back when people actually made decent hats. Most made today are crap. A good fedora should be able to be folded up completely and shoved in your back pocket when you walk in doors. When you head back outside, it should pop right back into shape.

There's a bit more flexibility if the hat is made out of straw and it's a very hot day. Kind of. Due to modern sensibilities, you'll still look somewhat silly, but at least the sun will be out of your eyes.

PTO is a great site in general, I recommend it. But in general, if you want to wear a fedora, rock it. Wear it with shorts, tube socks and a tank top (Note: don't do this). Just don't be surprised if people think you lack any fashion sense.

Gryphos:
I like wearing a flat cap with a leather jacket and a silk, Indian patterned scarf tucked into my collar. And the logical part of my brain recently come to realise how weird that looked. But the other part thought it looked cool.
Sadly, the latter part is the one that chooses my outfits.

Queso:
<--- This is only worn on top of a suit between fall and early spring.

Squidslinger Gilder:
That explains why when I saw the Fedoras at Disneyland for the Indy ride they just looked like total crap.
