Ages ago, I was wearing a 'Basque cap' - similar to the one above - for some years (though I had sworn, not to wear a hat anymore when I left the navy :wink: ).
Well, I don't care now, do I, I can like the caps whether they are fashionable or not, and I do, too.
If you have cold feet, put a hat on.
I don't mind the berets, but I prefer beanies.
Here in the states, the baseball cap has become an un-class garment.
Flat caps are very popular here.
If you can carry off a hat, do it. It's a great indicator of confidence, and confidence is very attractive

then again, some hats aren't too attractive, so make sure you're wearing one that works for you - and is appropriate for the setting
Sorry, couldn't find a hat Ehbeth.
ha!
it's Builder and his giant nut.
Ive got a ton of Ballcaps. My favorite 2 are ones with the following lettering
1.No cerveca no trabajo
2and a big Massey Ferguson logo (just says MF on it)
Style. It's all about style, right Walter?

today on the subway
glad I was wearing my sunglasses
I was carefully analyzing every hat wearer out there
Trannians are hat-wearers.
for Walter,
Mein Hut, er hat drei Ecke
Drei Ecke hast mein Hut
Und wenn er hat nicht drei Ecke
Denn ist er nich mein Hut.
From my ill-remembered high school German, to the tune of some well-known classical motif.
Those huts haven't any eckes--how can they be stylish?
Damn, who knew I'd be hip again. I drove Mazda's rotary engined sportscars, RX7s, thru the 80s, 90s, and early this millennium, and started wearing flat caps as some sort of ironic retro nod to the 50s, because you were supposed to wear them to keep your hair in place with the top down on your MG-TD classic minimalist British sports car, along with your tweed British hacking jacket with the little leather tab so you could button the lapels closed, and the briar pipe. But the apex seals on the last 7 died and the engine ate itself, and now I drive a Volvo and it's got four doors. But I still wear the flat caps because I live in New England and they are WARM, and I am well past the age to care because they look dorky, and here you tell me that they are no longer dorky.
Whoda thought. We will expect you to be sporting one when you show up in Boston in June.
This hat has no three corners and looks stupid!
