Upon further reflection, I'm not sure if I'm opposed to the style itself or just to THAT particular hat, which looks like it should be worn by some 80 year old guy with depends on under his khakis while he plays in the consolation bracket of the shuffleboard tournament down at the nursing home.

Oddly enough, that's exactly what I like about it.

I can see how it could come across that way... I've always had a thing for hats, but this particular issue was never something I felt the need to point out before "fedoras" became vilified.

Apparently I missed the vilification of Fedoras, too.

Don't mind me, I'll be over here in my bubble.

The thing is, it's just a hat.

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*

A while back my teenage daughter found infographics about it on Tumblr. It's like that thing that happens every summer when a new generation of 14-year-olds realizes that "Blister In The Sun" is about masturbation, and they feel very clever and go around casually letting on that they know, and making fun of people who haven't gotten it yet.

Only with hats.

It's true-- fedoras are actually about masturbation.

Yes but for you, EVERYTHING is about masturbation.

No denial here. Everyone has their pet peeves. If it was an important complaint, it wouldn't be a peeve.

I am a fucking overachiever.

Nice!  Looks great on you!

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.

To the best of my understanding, a hat has a brim that goes all the way around, but a cap has a partial brim, or no brim at all.
Unless you're talking about womens hats...I think they're all hats. Sometimes hair clips are hats.

You mean a "Fascinator".

WOW, Suu. That came out REALLY good.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

That's very nice, Suu!
