Why don't men wear hats anymore?

[Julius Caesar]

Never wear a hat that is more interesting than you.

You do need to have a certain gravitas to pull off wearing an old fashioned hat. I wear a panama on holiday in tropical climes.

But I look even more stupid in a baseball cap.

I should wear a hat more than I do when I'm 'out there', but I just don't get along with them. Never bothered in the UK.

I have 2 base ball caps, 1 cow boy hat, 1 evening hat, 1 top hat, 2 fascinators and a wooly bobble hat.

I love hats

Just noticed this post was about men & hats but oh well..

Anyone older than 12 should never wear a baseball cap - it identifies you as a septic idiot.

true dat.

I've just remembered. You should have seen and heard ex-mrs HAB when she found me down one of the bars chatting up a couple of septic tourists with a knotted handkerchief hat made out of a serviette and looking very much like this (that's not me).

Needless to say, I was very, very drunk.

In the Barbour shop on Piccadilly the other day I was tempted to buy an Andy Capp flat cap, but then thought it would make me look 10 years older and as if I was hiding a bald head, and as not many people wear them I didn't want to look too eccentric.

Someone once said you can measure the health of a society by the number of eccentrics that it tolerates. On my travels, for what it's worth, I note there now many more eccentrics in Germany than there are in the UK, where everyone seems to have the same aspirational consumerist ideas.
