soon Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 I have a a straw cowboy hat that I where now and then for a concert or event. I kinda wanna get a nice brown leather one with detailing but Im not sure that I could where it convincingly. So Im thinking of settling on something like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I don't look good in hats. Therefore, I don't own them, nor wear them unless it's winter and I'm at risk of freezing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a pic of me as a kid on a baseball team - like 25 kids and Im the only one who looks out of place in my ball cap, lol. You know, I can picture you rocking all those British Lady hats. Like seriously owning it! Maybe even with some white veiling over the eyes if yo nasty. But what do I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However i was told i looked like a douchebag - So yeah that ended that Found this pic on google of what im describing (no im not that buff but i apparently looked just as douchey) Edited July 11, 2019 by -W.A.R- 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the closest I've got to indulgent millinery. 1 hour ago, -W.A.R- said: Yeah hats don't work for me either. One style looks good on me and thats backwards with it tiled back.

Len Cnut Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I’d love to wear hats, all sorts of em its just to be honest its not something I’ve ever got round to and like, I work 9 hours a day 6 days a week, when am I gonna wear all these hats? Love em though, flatcaps, porkpies, bowlers, panamas, those 1930s italian gangster jobbies, cowboy hats even, I fuckin’ love those things, not the 10 gallon type, bit more conservative but where would you wear one of those in the rainy South East without looking a complete bell? Top hats are a bit too daring I’d say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwick1 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I think I've said before that I love cowboy hats. Especially straw hats with a well worn pair of boots. What type of leather cowboy hat are you thinking? Suede leather? Post a pic please? Suede hats are considered dressy and look best with nicer boots. But there aren't any rules. Get the leather cowboy hat and have the attitude that goes with it and you'll rock that look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracii Guns Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Hats and fascinators are having a break from fashion, replaced by extra tall headbands. It's really not my thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my previous job I worked 36 hours and I was able to change that to 32. Sure, I was making less money, but the spare time I got in return was much more valuable. Regarding the thread topic: I sometimes wear my ''Canada'' hat (which I bought there) only because I don't have any other ones, and people sometimes mistake me for a Canadian. Eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top hats are a bit too daring I’d say. No Berbere for the South East? Thats a very pragmatic approach to hat collections. Ive cut down to where I only really have one non-utility hat, my cowboy hat. Cowboy hats are fun, man! Definitely try one on. And try not to pucker your lips when you look in the mirror, Im told that I start mugging "pouty lips" when Im having a good time in mine. 15 hours ago, Len Cnut said: https://www.christys-hats.com/ Great hats here Those safari hats and flatcaps!! I havent seen such perfect lines on any flat cap over here. Was surprised how much this one called my name. A 'creatives' black blazer, scooped out T, smart jeans and this hat... and suddenly my ideas are acknowledged when I say them, not when Bob restates them a minute later!

Love those hats. Some are a bit much, those ones in the bottom right are tasteful. Wish theyd catch on here.

True about wearing it outside, but Id be sitting around my place wearing it all the time, hehe! Is it your size? Do you present on a shelf or case or whatever?

My liking for cowboy hats is more in a sort of Gary Cooper kind of vein so yeah, pouty lips probably wouldn't be a prediliction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
