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?

Only 1 of those is a newsboy, black and white herringbone. The others are flatcaps.

As a bald guy, when I travel to Europe I wear flatcaps instead og ballcaps which aren't as acceptable in some places. When when weather turns stocking/watch caps aren't as dressy. A wool flatcap sheds water and keeps my noggin warm. Almost all of mine are Stetson.
 
I've been wearing mine again this summer, it's a Harris Tweed from Great Britain. My wife brought it back from Guernsey about thirty years ago.
 
I can't find a good insulated, rain resistant ball cap. So, I'm willing to try the flat cap or Newsboy.
 
I have a large selection of ball caps with various Mopar & Chrysler logos. Also, sports, Yankees, Packers & Devils. I'll use anything to avoid the horrible sunburnt head I experienced about 45 years ago from sucking down a beer or two in my sister's pool in Florida. I didn't know how thin my hair had gotten until my scalp "glowed" through my sparce fuzzy noggin. Besides blocking the sun, hats also help keep the heat in during cold weather. You might remember the old saying; "When your feet get cold, put your hat on!" That & a hoodie help keep the chills out. Then, you have the "Hat Hair" thing with a compressed hair "halo" to deal with. Dang, it sucks getting old!
:mad: :BangHead: :screwy:
Actually, there was a Disney series called "Gallager", waaayyyy back when. He was a news boy. Maybe some other elders here, like me, remember it.

I'm a hat guy, the kind that gets the "why so many, you can only wear one". But as I got older I found they age better than concert and vacation t-shirts. My head is still the same size as it was at 16. My shoulders and waist are not. There are lots of outdoor parties, wedding and even funerals where the flatcap is acceptable. Rarely see ballcaps at those. And a flatcap tucks nicely under a jacket in back area of waistband if you head indoors.
 
Yeah, the way I see it, in theory, you can explain away TWO men in a tub.
Jim was in the tub bathing when Kent came in to take a piss. He slipped on the wet floor and fell into the tub.
How do you explain THREE men in a tub together unless they were butt slammers?

I'm going stick to wearing my wool ski cap in the 80 degree weather like is fashionable for doofuses.

Not.
