Haha, I'm glad I'm not like that....

remembers the blue hat I wear every day

Ah, crap.

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 14 points 2 months ago

Same exact reaction.

“At least I don’t wear a hat.”

Except for that blue cadet-style cap you got in Colorado that you liked because it, combined with your beard, made you look vaguely like a train conductor or a maybe a Union soldier and also expressed your love of mountains which you wear almost every morning when walking your dog to hide your bed-head.

“Fuck.”

I waited until 40 and went with the rave/dance festival bucket hat

Texas: Y'all ain't gotta wait 'till yer 30! You can put on a Stetson soon as yer old enough for mutton bustin' and wear that sucker for the rest of yer got-danged life!

And being the southwest wearing a hat outside isn't really a choice, unless you like a sunburned scalp.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I've got a beaver-skin U.S. Forest Service Stetson. It doesn't even fit, but it's so badass I can't part with it.

Edit: Picture:

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How close is it? You can take it into a hat store with a steamer and have them resize it.

My hat has a little version of itself for a logo

Holy shit, it's my hat's grandhat

[–] Bademantel@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Monkey sees, monkey wants. I'm in desperate need of a personality. Is this hat real?

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Mine is a Boonie hat in digicam that I made myself from scratch

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Your face camo works better with that terrain than the hat camo

As long as it’s not the maga hat we good fam.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

As a 49ers fan I carry a little extra hate for them choosing a red hat to signify their shittiness.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Same as a Chicago Bulls fan.

Gotta get some bill accessories. I was looking for something like a fishing hook but with roach clips but this works too(random Etsy listing):

I try to pull off a hat and end up like this:

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How euphoric (do people still make that joke?)

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Probably, I recently saw someone make that joke on social media.

I chose 2 actually
Faded old Yankee dad hat
Yankee snapback with oversized logo
And turning the visor to the back is old hat

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

The wind easily blew my hat off the other day…that’s when I realized I bought it more than 15 years ago and it’s probably time to update old faithful.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 7 points 2 months ago

My face doesn't accessorise well at all. Never found glasses or hats that suit me

[–] jambudz@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago
[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 6 points 2 months ago

Damn.

I was about to make a joke about a dumb novelty hat I wore my senior year of college... then realized I wore it so much that if I did so, there'd be a non-zero chance I might accidentally dox myself lol

I'm sure they were mass produced, but Murphy's Law is a cruel mistress haha

[–] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Not a hat per se but I do now have like 2 dozen different bandanas...

[–] EvilFonzy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My hat that says 'SLUDGE' in a metal band font is just part of my personality! The other half is a Mountain Dew shirt.

My hat's a tactical cap with hook-and-loop mounting points, where I change out various morale patches based on what I'm feeling that day. (A lot of times it's the X-COM "vigilo confido" patch haha.)

So does the hat choose my personality? Or does my personality choose the hat? Who's to say. It's flexible and open to change at least. :D

Nearly 50 and don't have a single hat that dominates. I have around 15 that I wear at various times. But most often don't wear one at all. I went through my hat phase in elementary and jr high.

[–] M137@lemmy.today 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I had a period in my early 20s when I wore one if these:

I had no thought behind it, just liked it, but many thought it was to look older. Haven't really worn a hat since then, only a beanie during winter but not at all in a "define my personality" way. Guess I gotta go and find something, definitely some hippie thing!

Instructions unclear, I am attached to a raggedy black hoodie.

[–] West_of_West@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Turned 33 and bought a cap with a hockey logo to work outside with. Family then bought me a wool flatcap. I'm so torn.

Lucky me, I look terrible in every hat so now my entire personality is "doesn't wear hats."

[–] thethrilloftime69@feddit.online 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I started shaving my head at 23. Hats make my head sweaty and they're uncomfortable. Also the confidence to not wear a hat makes you stand out for a certain kind of woman.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 7 points 2 months ago

I wear a hat because I don't like a sunburned scalp
