Please no. This hat has caused too much bad clothing style all over the world. Don't let it be part of this post apocalyptic world and be ever forgotten. For the sake of fashion.
-
I agree. I see this too much in real life already.
-
What? People don't like it? That hat is amazingly useful and fashionable.
-
To bad you can't wear one these days without being considered either a "hipster" or "neckbeard"

Glad to hear the prevention system works.
-
Why is it I've only ever seen women wear these hats?

same

pfft, a perfectly good hat ruined I say. Same thing that now happens to the lovely flat cap.
Why is it I've only ever seen women wear these hats?
Makes sense since they're originally made for them... though honestly I see a lot more men use it.
-
No it's not ruined. It's still worn properly by some today. The problem with the hat is that the wrong generation/people started wearing it. For whatever reason they think it's perfectly fitting and doesn't look ridiculous at all. But we're not in the 20th century. If you're young and you want a hat please look first what fits you and not what you think would look cool because some bloke on TV wore it.
I sound like a drama queen but having a little sense in fashion is something I find a rather healthy knowledge. Don't take it personally if any of the fedora folks are reading this, just try to be honest with yourself and get a second opinion if you're about to buy one ;P
/drama :-*

hehe the awful first world problems ;) ...but whatever floats their boat. Not my place to judge people, it's a cool hat and if they wanna wear it go ahead.

That assumes I have any fashion sense whatsoever.

Spoon: First world problem? To have a choice between good clothes and bad clothes isn't really a problem. It's rather a case of taste. And yes we could argue over "everybody has their own taste, how could you judge", which I totally understand. I'm not gonna pick on 14yo who like wearing trenchcoats, suits and a hat. Actually I would but just because I find appearance important to a certain degree . Even more so as you grow older and there's nothing bad with recieving feedback on what to wear and what not imo. A good friend of mine is a fashion designer and she always gives me very good feedback which I'm more then happy about.
@Keon that's good then :D
-
If you're not wearing a suit, you not wearing a fedora.
-
I would rather see a Shako.

There are much better hats than the fedora for inclusion in a post apocalypse steampunk world. I believe that there needs to be more gold braid and eagle crests in this game.
-
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
-
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.
-
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.
-
<--- This is only worn on top of a suit between fall and early spring.
-
That explains why when I saw the Fedoras at Disneyland for the Indy ride they just looked like total crap.
-
entertaining article, pretty much hits the nail on the head though.
Luckily I never wore hats regularly (except for straw hat in summer) so I never made that mistake :D
-
<almost always has a hat on :D
Changes every few years or whenever the current hat gets sweaty, smelly, and doesn't get clean even after washing :D
Longest use one was a Serenity hat from the movie. Won it on the movie site by helping promote the film online.
-
you have about the same mentality with hats that I have with shoes, buy me about two pairs every year. Summer and Winter. And I wear them till they're dead.
also the serenity thing sounds awesome. Pls deliver pics of the hat ~~
-
Just a simple black hat with a small Serenity logo on it. Held up rather well. Actually I can't seem to find any picts of it online to link. Maybe I should have left it in pristine condition and never worn it. Guessing it was just something made for the movie. But looks like you can get better hats made by the fans.
Oh I've had the same pair of shoes for about...hmmm...at least 5yrs now. Finally needed to shift the pair to the work shoes only duty and pull out another. Dark green Sketchers with water/stain resistant outsides. Kinda resemble hiking boots on the bottom. Found them up in WA on my first trip. Loved them so much I bought them when I got back home. Couldn't get the "wide" sizes down here in CA unfortunately but they hold up real well. Got at least another 2-4 boxes of them. Was a good sale. Probably last me a few decades depending on the use. Very much best shoes I've owned.
Worst shoes I've owned have been Avia's brand. Things feel all soft and nice at first but they fall apart in no time. Utter crap shoes.
-
Whoa 5 years is quite a long while. That pair must've felt like slippers after that time :D
Mostly I stick with skaterbrands like Vans, DC. Lately though I found a rather cheap pair of Lacoste shoes. looks almost like this:
(http://www.titolo.ch/imagemagic.php?img=images/26SRM3025120.jpg&w=468&h=313&page=prod_info)
Had them all summer long but they still look kinda nice. Porbably cause I walked around barfeet more then wearing shoes...
but now that autumn is coming around the corner I'm gonne need to buy me a nice new set of boots. I'm looking forward to buy me some lace up shoes like Frye James bootwear as I've heard they are durable and good looking. They could even survive two winters so the price would be worth it I guess. Thought I'm very picky with shoes since they need to keep on working for quite a while :P (5 years is too long mate ;D)
-
Well the insides got worn down pretty well. The outside still looked good. They hold together enough still, hence their moving to work shoe only duty.
-
Pffft...You guys have to learn something!

Actually, I think a hat really needs to be added to this game, it's cool and keeps you warm at altitudes of 1000+ meters.It's also a morale boost for the crew(especially if the captain wears it while drinking vodka...I mean moonshine)
THAT HAT IS THIS

THE USHANKA EVERYONE!

The wind on this thread seems to be that hats are for douchebags and shouldn't be worn? Well, to hell with that! I wear a hat often due to the fact that here in Finland not that many people my-age do. But I do realize I often wear "different" hats from usual, as I believe hat is one of the most distinctive pieces of clothing one can use. I have a green field cap, WWII -style, ushanka (I support the cause to insert ushankas into the game!) and plan on getting myself a kepi or two. Even my common cap has pins on it to make it different!
my other clothing, on the other hand, tends to be "clean is cool". xD

Someone needs to get me a skinned wolf's head hat! Or give me a pair of furry ears >.<

Hmmm. I'd love to get my hands on a wolf-pelt.

No you misread the points made in that case. The point being made is that you should choose the right hat for you in order to not look like a douche which is too often a case.

We do have one that is kind of similar.
-
But it's only for females
-
Hmm, imagine the boost in the Russian IGP (IAP? IGP) if you added a Ushanka to the Store. Hell, I'd buy one and pretend to be Sean Connery every time I play on Fjords. Time to do some Crazy Ivans to starboard.
-
See? People actually want an ushanka.After all, it's a very cool hat :3
-

Whoa whoa wait a min...there is a male character model in this game? ZOMG!!! ;D

Okay, we really need this.

So if the Balloon goes out, it'll slow your descent.
..right?

right
-
Nah, you'd fall at the same speed, but it would be funnier to die with a cap like that on yer head.
