How to wear hats and influence people.

[Video Gone]

So, after the roaring response of "HATS! OI! HATS! OI! OI OI OI OI OI!" to my earlier thread, "Hats: Are they back?", I've decided to go back to the days of that greatest man, Frank Sinatra, and mix and match some hats.

Fedoras: The man's hat, the courageous hat that's not afraid to be out there in the field, looking a baseball cap square in the eye and saying: "Out. Of. My. Town." The Mafia and Frank Sinatra make this one an icon, even today.

Trilbies: One of my favourite types, I own four of these, two less than my fedora collection then. My personal favourite has to be a black trilby with a white band. Popularised... actually, can't really say, behind the scenes, really.

Baseball caps: Die in a fire, you patethic worm.

Beanies: Honestly.
HONESTLY.

Bowlers: Popularised firmly in England, this one. Extremely popular among the richer gents in London, it is an icon.

Cowboy hats: I started off with these. I still have my first one, a black one with a woven band. Popularised in: Where do you think, genius?

Can't think of any more right now, anyone have something to discuss about hats?
We need hat threads here, y'know.

Hats... I'll tell you when I buy one.

 

[QuirkyTambourine]

I call foul sir.

I wear a fedora if the occasion permits but I'm rarely seen without a baseball cap on. (brim bent in a classy manner of course) and nothing's better than a beanie in the winter.

Spoiler: Well almost nothing...

[sub]Why yes, I do own one[/sub]

The worlds best hat is hands down a derby. With or without a feather its bad ass.

Where is the Sombrero?

There are almost no good pictures of them...
and who could forget this

Tophats, MotherF**KER.

without them we wouldn't have this:

I have a Trilby and so should you!

Spoiler: Here is me in my Trilby:

Yes I know it's dark so it blends in, but that's because it is awesome.

Where is the Sombrero?

I second this notion. There is no greater nor manly hat than the Sombrero, and thus it is the King of Hats.

Ascots/Ivy Caps: Depending on the kind of jacket/shirt you wear with it, they can make you look folksy, artsy, or gay. In short: Looks good on occasion, but proceed with caution.

Yes. Yes it is.

I also own a trilby. For years I accumulated all sorts of hats that were buried at the bottom of my wardrobe and in my bedroom drawers, and never wore them (mainly birthday presents and gifts on holiday). I only ever wore an RAF beret, for CCF (sort of like RAF/Army cadets thing at school, better than Scouts, etc. because we got to fire military issue weapons and go running around on army bases doing stealth excercises ;D). Then on my 19th birthday, just a few short weeks ago, I was given a trilby from my younger brother. Now I love to wear it. My brother and I even have a little meme going, since he also owns one. Anyone who can actually pull off wearing a trilby and look good in it is automatically cool and awesome, by definition. That includes us, naturally...

Disrespect beanies again and I'm getting the rake out!

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

Yes. Yes it is.

I do of course look stoned for some reason, but everyone says I do, even though I don't actually do drugs (except for that paracetemol - gotta get me some more of that shit yo).

 

[Nevyrmoore]

Would a bandanna count as a hat?

 

[Pandalisk]

Would i look as sporty as i do without Sports Sunglasses and a Cap? No i would not

 

[A Weary Exile]

I would like to add Panama Hats, they're like tropical Fedoras and they look just as cool.

I wish I could wear awesome hats like those without looking like a total idiot, then again where I live isn't very trendy so I'd stand out quite a bit. We have to bring back cool hats!

 

[Andalusa]

I would love to wear hats, I suit beanies the best, but I wouldn't leave the house in one. I'll wear one all day around the house, but if I go out the door, it comes off. I just think I'll look like a prat and people will look at me.

I want five of those hats right now.

OT:I don't really wear hats unless its cold outside.
