Shall we make the Newsboy cap great again?

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.

A little to metrosexual for my liking/taste
When I 1st bought my
73 v12 XK E Type Jaguar British racing green
saddle tan leather interior
tan droptop
I bought an "obligatory" cotton/wool blend Houndstooth, "brits rally cap"
(I went thru a period of liking & buying different sportscars, many British)
& my youngest sister go me a leather version,
she thought was funny even
(freaken' :gay: as all f--k, like as much as assless chaps would be, in a gay bar),
no freaken' way I was wearing that sh-t, ever
it's not me at all, not even driving a British Icon, that ain't happenen'
she spent a good $$ on it too, like $50+ (?), she gave me the receipt so I could return it...
I took it back to store where she got it, in Concord Sun Valley mall
I got a nice Raiders Jersey :poke: that will actually use/wear

The cotton/wool houndstooth nice 'brits rally cap' it was called, I had bought
I think, I got it at the local Jaguar dealership, place I had to buy parts from
it wasn't cheap either, nothing at a Jaguar dealership is
it wasn't really good in any situation either, didn't stay on well while driving either
it'd poof up a bunch too

it's not a real USA thing
not many men here wear them, not that I see
I think it's more foreign taste deal, European fashion maybe

It useless, in ANY WINDS, so unless I turned it backwards, looked even more goofy IMO
threw it in a back of the car/behind the seat & never wore it again,
went with the car, when sold

I think I wore it golfing 'one time' on Halloween tourney, at the club as 'a joke'
wore nickers & argyle socks too, with white & black golf shoes
The no bill to block glare or the sun, joke was on me, it's useless, bad decision again...
I went most the round without a hat & just wore my sunglasses...

I could do that with a ballcap/truckers cap, fitted cap
It's just not for me/my likings, at all

Yeah, sort of kept the sun off my head, while top down
but no bill to block the sun, like a reg ball cap, I prefer...
I don't wear hats inside so a ballcap, was never any issue for me
I rarely wear hats unless golfing, especially now, I got like 50 of them already,
from about 50 different courses...

I tried it's not for me, at all

to each their own
