This seems to work on other sites, so I figure that it deserves a shot here.
If you've got a quick hat question and don't see a thread for it, just post it here. Whether the question is about cleaning, anatomy of a hat, brands, etc., this is the place.
Here's one to break the ice.
You'll find a wide range of views on this, Rhino.
For me, there is no minimum requirement - I'm sure many would squirm, but I happily wear fedoras and cargo shorts in the summer - with jeans all year.
The guy that wrote the rules is long gone, so we can do whatever we want
I'll admit that I switched to a Tilley for my last visit to a nude beach, but in general felt fedoras work with almost anything (unless switching to straw to better accommodate hot weather).
But did you still wear it on your head, or...never mind.
I'm very much a "blue collar/working class" guy, and I've never had a job that required me to even wear a tie, let alone a suit. In fact, in the last five years I've only worn a suit two or three times. As such, my usual is jeans and a tee shirt with the occasional Hawaiian/Aloha or other type of button-up shirt, and I wear my fedoras regularly as well. Now, I know there are some members here who wouldn't be caught dead wearing a tee shirt and jeans unless they were doing yardwork or some other activity that would ruin their "nice" clothes, and certainly wouldn't wear a fedora with them unless it had been relegated to a "beater/work" hat. But I've never been "fashion conscious", I'm 53 years old, I have back problems that leave me in constant pain, and at this point in my life I don't particularly care about what anyone else thinks about what I wear. Mind you, the clothes I wear are always clean and maintained (i.e., no holes, tears, stains, etc.) so I'm not a complete slob. But I do wear my fedoras as casually as I wear everything else.
Is it legal in the US to wear a hat on a nudist beach? Standards must really be slipping.
