If you want to get a head, get a hat.

[something daft already!!]

Hats.

Who here wears a hat of any sort? I used to wear a Benny hat years ago but after going to Turkey and wearing a straw Trilby hat, I now wear a normal blue-grey Trilby when going out.

It serves many purposes. It keeps my head warm and dry. It keeps the sun out of my eyes. If I don't want to look or talk to anyone, I can look down and walk briskly with it and people mostly get out of the way. If you are follicly challenged (I'm not as yet) it will keep you head protected from the elements.

On windy days, I have to look down as to direct the wind to push down on the hat rather than lift it. I think it only blew away once, many years ago but you learn to not let that happen again.
I rarely see other people wearing hats of this type, mostly caps and Benny hats.

Do you wear a hat or are hats for the elderly?

A trilby is a bit dangerously close to a fedora, I wouldn't go there.

Fjallraven classic knit merino beanie is the king for winter.

Baseball caps of varying styles for summer.

A few thinner beanies for wearing under helmets when climbing in colder temps.

I wonder about when hats fell out of fashion. Look at any photo of a crowd from 1930s and 49s and every single person is wearing a hat. A few decades on and no one wears them!

I’m curious what is wrong with fedoras?
Weren’t they THE classic hat?

Must admit the only reason I clicked on this thread was because I didn’t see the A before head.

I have a variety of hats. A few baseball caps for the summer. A peaked merino beanie for the colder months and I've just bought a woollen trapper hat, preparing for the iced wastes that a right in front of us indoors this winter.

Us baldies need hats.

Until the basement dwelling virgin plook faced incels insert whatever else name to call them started wearing them.

Straw hat when the sun's blazing. Beanie in the winter, flat cap if it's not 'too' cold. I'm a bit too old for baseball caps I think.

 

[Hagar]

I wear a Panama in the summer when it's sunny. A woolly hat when it's freezing in winter. Otherwise my lookalike Johnson crop goes uncovered.

 

[Finners]

Beanie in the winter keep my bald head warm.

Flat caps made a bit of a come back a couple of years ago with peaky blinders being big but haven't seen it much this year.

OK am off to buy a hat...

 

[teenwolf]

nah they look a bit suspect to me.

 

[chroniclard]

No, never seen anyone successfully pull off a hat. Those flat cap chavs especially.

 

[Hades]

Beanie in the winter otherwise my bald head freezes. A baseball cap in the summer otherwise my bald head burns. I don't really like baseball caps but I have to wear something to avoid sunburn.

I hate hats to be honest (to wear, I'm indifferent to other people wearing them).

I'll still wear some sort of beanie type thing in the winter if it is mega cold to keep ears warm.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Beanies in the winter (including a super thin one for under my chainsaw helmet), baseball cap for riding the mower and a short brim jungle hat for summer gardening.

I wouldn't have either even in the winter in Scotland but when I was in Libya in the baking Sahara desert a hat was essential wear.

 

[nlel1975]

I wear a baseball cap all the time.

Definitely!

I have a selection of caps for summer to stop my head burning and loads of beanies for the winter to keep my head warm. If I'm out of the house, I usually have a hat on.
