Shall we make the Newsboy cap great again?

[Hey-O]

I wore one instead of a ballcap when I was between the ages of 2 to 6, when we lived in Canada. Put me on the list of guys to admit wearing one of these queer hats. So, it's ok to write stupid s**t on the walls and hang out in a mens construction crappers.......... Let me pick which one is queer.

They look a heck of a lot better than a cheap baseball cap worn backwards.

I think those are Ivy Caps. Sorry if someone already mentioned that. The neighbor wears one occasionally. He doesn't have much hair on the top so he keeps the bald spot covered.

Some called them English driving caps, I'm not sure. We were dirt poor and a neighbor gave it to me. I've done a lot of things in my life, wearing one as a child brings back some great memories for me. I don't do hats, but my son and I had a collection of baseball hats, somewhere around two hundred. I've collected a lot of things in my life, one time or the other. When I get bored, I give things away and start over. I have a few Mopar hats that I should use to cover up my bald spot! LOL

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

I wore one of those, like most people in Canada in the 50's and 60's. Fashion is second to not freezing to death!! LOL. I get a kick out of some people's response. If I'd listened to some people's opinions years ago, I'd still be poor.

From my experiences, guys who wear those have a screw loose or a chip on their shoulder. Right up there with Wiggers and wanna be home boys.

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.
