    I was getting coffee one day and sat down near a “hat guy”. He saw I was wearing a flat cap and started a whole conversation about this tyrolian hat he was wearing and how nobody these days understands a good hat amirite, and what’s my favorite hat?

    I almost felt bad telling him that I just hate getting sun in my eyes.

        The options for male pattern baldness are:

        1. Always wear a hat;
        2. Shave everything off and go completely bald;
        3. Wear friar’s robes at all times.

          Once you hit completely bald on top then pony tail becomes feasible with the right attitude.

          I do not have that attitude. Buzz buzz!

      I think you should begin your hattery early. Like dying your hair. If you do it after the problem starts then its obvious.

      Can confirm. I became a hat person recently because I am going bald. On the bright side, being a balding man is very gender affirming.

        Good call. Until about 20 seconds ago, I thought the hair on Slash, the Guns n Roses guitarist, was part of his hat, but it appears to be his real hair (or at least used to be at one point in his life).

        It must get hot in there.

    I suppose a beginner hat would be like a baseball cap or something. But every time I try to wear a ballcap, people ask me if I’m lost and need help finding my parents 😠

      I’m not sure ball caps count when it comes to being into hats. A Kangol is a good starting point, or just a great hat. I like a 507 Ventair. I have a Harris Tweed that is not a beginner hat. A few cowboy hats, but they are not out of place where I live as a general purpose outdoor hat. I never felt like I could pull off a porkpie, but I’ve had fedoras I liked before the neckbeard phenomenon happened.
