This is a hat:



This is a cap, albeit one that I might add the word flat, but not scally, to:


That's about the distinction I make between headwear. Other than hood.

I don't think I like what Villager has on her mind to do with that glow stick.

Whatever it is, she's an early bird, and probably forgot it as soon as it was 12:15 am.

ETA: Thank God for that too.

It is funny though, she is a total sweetheart, but she looks mischievous as fuck in every pic she takes.

You guys are so cute!

This is the best I got right now, and it's not even my douchiest Trilby.

No.

No?

No.

I like it.  I should make it clear, that I am not anti-Trilby, I just like people to be clear about what they are discussing.

I am having a very difficult time grasping why it seems to be so important to so many people all of a sudden that everyone use the correct terminology for hats.

Because there is a lot of hate for fedoras lately, usually glommed onto the MRA, most of whom (from photos I've seen) are wearing trilbys, not fedoras.  Fedoras, outside of possibly Portland, are pretty rare these days... while trilbys seem to procreate at approximately the same rate as Starbucks do.  I find it personally aggravating that people are attempting to besmirch the reputation of the fedora by associating it with MRA and "nice guys", when they don't even mean the hat they are actually condemning.

Dick Tracy would not approve.  And neither do I.

It's a personal quibble that I don't expect you, or anyone else, to share.

Does that help?

The fedora/trilby issue has been around for a while. Though LMNO can pull it off, from what I can see in the picture, anyway. Typically, the brim of a fedora or fedora-like hat (trilby, porkpie, pince-nez) should be proportionate to the wearer's shoulders. The issue with a trilby is that they can often been seen as juvenile, and really only look good on guys with no shoulders. Basically, making them the ultimate hipster hat. *shrug*

I was under the impression that pince-nez were those armless spectacles which sat on the end of one's nose... please explain further?

So, as comparison.

I think the fedora is a fine looking hat.... And trilbys are ok. But I do understand how people could look at the two and just say "fuck it, they're the same."

Alright, you bastages



(the one with the gloves)

Wow. Quite honestly, I never thought I would see this day.

late to the party, but i'd awkwardly hit on QG

I choose to believe this is how QG dresses every single day.

From what I understand, I do not have pictures, they were a type of short-brimmed fedora/bowler cross that was popular at the end of the 19th Century/beginning of 20th Century, or slang for it that would eventually mutate into the trilby come the 1940s. But you are correct about the spectacles as well. I think the term came about because it was being worn by the same time of people as the specs. I gotta find my hat book and I can scan for ya.

I like the fedora better, you look more gangster and put together.
