What do our hats really say about us, and more importantly, are they right?

My family, friends and coworkers see my hat-wearing as a quirk of my personality, but by no means the largest of the quirks.

Ha! Same here.

Everywhere I go, I'm 'the guy in the hat.' Most of the time, it's compliments, even if it's of the more modern style.

I was at the bar over the weekend and a guy stopped me and goes, "Your hats really gangster, you got that Al Capone thing going on." I suppose it's a compliment as most people think of the guy as an American hero lol

I went in to a pub which I frequent here in Las Vegas and the waitress, who has seen me once or twice a week for over 2 years, said "OMG you've got hair!"

This past Sunday a man tells me I got this Blues Brothers thing going on. Wearing this.

A Adam fuzzy wool walking hat. Whatever.

I wear hats because I live in New Mexico and they provide needed protection from the sun. I mostly wear Western hats, or hats with wider brims. As for what folks think, I am too damn old to care what anyone thinks!

I like wearing fedoras because they remind me of an earlier time, and of my father as a young man. I was thinking about that the other day, and asked him why he stopped wearing fedoras. (He is now 86, and would not think of leaving the house without some kind of a hat.) He stopped and thought about it and said, "I think they stopped making them - didn't they?" Then he shrugged and kinda grinned. He's a hoot.

For me, my wearing of a hat says "I'm a man not a boy; no baseball caps for me."

I love what you said!

It keeps me warm in the winter, dry in the rain, cool in the summer, is a part of my love of things of a more distant age and is part of how adults should dress.

Oh, and I look pretty good in them as well, apparently.

What does wearing a hat say, that I have enough sense to get in out of the rain/sun....LOL!!

I also admit that I am inspired by another era.
