Shall we make the Newsboy cap great again?

Here in the midwest we prefer the
Floyd R Turbo style.

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 ? :lol:
 
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...

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.
 
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!

I didn't mean to imply you included them.

The move to berets for everyone was quite controversial back then. Especially, to those who earned the right to wear a beret as a badge of honor.

I wouldn't wear a beret but some people look good in one.
 
I had a girlfriend that looked good in a beret. I looked her up a few years ago. We got to talk a bit before she died from cancer.
