The bald spot grows with age. I'd need to wear a hat like this to cover it now.

They're selling costumes for this now, in case some of you are into that stuff.

I can’t believe I even clicked on this thread but I’ll chime in since I’m here. The answer is it depends on your face and head shape. Brian Johnson rocks this hat well and he also doesn’t give a flip what any of you think!

However, it don’t look right on some of us. Hank Hill case in point…

So, he must be gay, according to some people.

Ah yes, back in the days when people were so poor, they had to jerk the dog just to feed the cat.

Trying this again, one more time....

I aways called them English Racing Caps. I see mostly bald guys wearing them. They're a little more acceptable to wear indoors than other hats. I'm old school cowboy manners. A cowboy hat has several purposes, none of them are indoors. I'm against all hats indoors. Since my hair is extremely long adjustable ball caps don't stay on, they slide off. My cowboy hats stay on but not indoors.

Several ways to spot a real cowboy, one of them is taking your hat off indoors.

If you watch old movies when all men wore hats they immeciately remove their hats when they step indoors. At the senior home where I help out there is a sign that says all men and boys must remove their hats upon entering the dining room.

How do you explain THREE men in a tub together unless they were butt slammers?

A butcher... a baker... a candlestick maker... Is there anyone here of any of these professions ? Is there a commonality that would cause them to be in a tub together ?

 

[Kern Dog]

The professions are irrelevant.
If three men are naked together in a tub, they are gay. Now sure, there are masculine gay men as well as limp wrist types that sashay across the floor with an extremely effeminate manner. My older brother (RIP) was gay but often looked more manly that I did...

Also, I'd bet the guys wearing these hats would object to the following:

You'd be wrong in my case.

Gallager wore the hat............

Let's put them to the wind test.

Oh, so that's what the bill is for.

I think some guys look good in an old fashioned Newsboy cap. Millions of men and boys used to wear them. I've seen a few around town in cooler months. My brother likes them. Are they only for certain head shapes?

What do you think?

If your bald.

However you feel about these hats, they are a hell of a lot better than a beret! I hate those things & always have!

I was in the Army Reserve when the black berets replaced the field cap. Berets are for Airborne and Special Forces guys. They're not very practical but look cool on them. I never liked mine and preferred the camouflage field cap.

 

[multimopes]

I wasn't including those when I made my statement in post 58. If I recall, the berets special forces had an emblem or something that stood vertical. I am referring to the French style without any front or back & might have a loop to hang it from something. I just never liked them, even on special forces or a Geen Beret folks. They just look cheap!
