its actually because hes bald and most hats dont show off bald very well XD adam knows that so the whole skit was to be at jamies expense but hes good at calm deflection.
Adam and Jamie are like the perfect "extrovert" and "introvert" stereotypes: Adam is the super-outgoing impulsive type who carries on conversations with everyone and gets hyped up by other people, and Jamie is the very reserved type who dislikes extended social situations and very carefully thinks through his actions.
Adam mentioned when they put all 4 manhole covers on a car jamie poked him and pointed at what they just did. They both immediately started laughing at what they just did.
I love it, such different views for the same thing. Feels so representative of today's views on pretty much everything: Adam: There's a root to it. It's a statement. It has some profound meaning behind it. There's a reason for it! Jamie: It's a hat. It won by default.
He has that beard because he is a technical guy, a plummer, a welder, mechanic and an engineer. He wears that beret because he is also an artist and artists like him that do sculptures and stuff wear berets.
What?!?!? NO 😂😜🥴🤪🤣 The reason why Jaime wears baret is that he doesn't want a hat with a rim. He just want a "simple hat" to cover his thin/semi-bald head. So his most common option goes down to 3: either a British Lady Derby Hat (but Jaime is NOT GAY), a cardinal cap (but Jamie is an atheists & can't really wear a cardinal cap if you're not a cardinal) & a beret.
I wear a beret about 1/2 of the time; I prefer the really huge "basque" style berets (the ones with the little sprig on top), mainly because they can be worn with it pulled forward like a flat cap, which shades the eyes far better than any billed hat. Not sure, but I think Mr. Hyneman was a soldier, and thus can get away with wearing his beret military style. I started wearing a beret when The Boy Scouts adopted the red one in the mid-1970s (gold diamond fleur-de-lis "flash" badge, though as I remember we didn't call it that) as their "standard regulation" cover, I got tired of wearing it on one side of my head, which was what our troop finally switched to doing, similar to the military style of the time. Up to that point, we had worn it in the flat-topped, slightly-to-one-side manner that was illustrated in the new scout manual of the period, but as I remember, everybody pretty much wore them however they or their troop wanted; everything from pulled down like a stocking cap to 1940s Brit commando style. It had no flash panel, which meant you either lived with the rumples on the upper edge that the one-side style caused, or spent forever fussing with forming the upper edge (something about the way they were put together at the factory made it impossible to just wet and shape them the way the military did/does. Made them great for rain wear, though), and fixing it every time you got a look in a reflective surface. So, these days I wear a nice big wide black basque (made by some Czech company, go figure) like a flat cap.. Can't remember why the BSA stopped using the red ones.
+Capn Clawhammer I remember the whole shaping process.. Took me WEEKS to get it just right.. But when it was, I got fond of it, and I always took care of it, more than my parade uniform hat.. Brought it with me when I came back home but it was stolen along with half of my stuff during moving.. :/
I was part of a scout thing where a bunch of troops came together and stood guard at various tourist spots on Mackinac Island for a week, and we wore those, the scout socks, pants, we rolled our neckerchiefs a certain way, the whole 9 yards
I still think it stems form a time when he heard on the radio about the kind you find in a second hand store and if it was warm he wouldn't wear much more.....
As some one who has a lot of bald people in their family, most bald people wear hats to protect their scalps from getting sunburned. Most wear baseball caps, but he's stated he doesn't like baseball caps, and he wasn't going to wear one of those hats with a wide brim, so that didn't leave much of an alternative.
I was a US Air Force, Security Forces K9 handler for 12 years and I’m here to tell you...a beret is not a simple “hat”. To shave and shape it is a pain in the ass (which is best done while in the shower just fyi). Then in the summer you get a curved tan line on the right side of your face. Speaking of summer, did I mention the damn thing is made of wool? Pure, Brillo pad wannabee wool? IN THE SUMMER!?!? Keep in mind, this is all done while keeping the damn thing placed perfectly on top of your head so that the flash is exactly 1 and a quarter inch above the left eye. ...I will give you this though, you can easily trade a beret for a wink and a phone number any day. Marines, eat your heart out.
not all berets are created equal. Military ones are made by the lowest bidder. There are some really nice ones made in France and Dpain. Also. civvies can wear it any way they want - about 4 different ways to wear a beret.
Sorry for the wall of text. I believe beret in the military are very complex and a pain mostly because of uniform regulation. All the boiling, shaving and shaping, which isn't a requirement when you wear it as a civilian. Also I've heard that each high-ranking officer (at least for you folks in the US Armed Forces) have different interpretations on how to wear a beret, and some are very _adamant_ about it, which sucks even more. I'm from Philippines where it's humid and hot most of the time. Also I'm a civilian, and I wear a beret or a patrol cap casually when going outside. Because I want to protect my long hair from sunlight or sometimes I want something to hold my hair other than a hair tie or a hard vertical headband. (Horizontal sweatbands suck as they tend to slip away from my head) Not a wool beret, but rather made with those dri-fit polyester material, AKA moisture wicking, and it's awesome. Why a beret? Funnily enough same logic Jamie said. And like wnose said, you can wear a beret in many ways. I usually wear it military style but mirrored (edge is on the left) or "parisian" like how Jamie wears it. I used to wear it with edge on the back, but that made people either think I'm cosplaying as Che Guevarra or Llourd de Verya (a local musician and journalist)
Ball caps have a bill - which if you aren't a teenager wearing them backwards to prove you're just like the other people trying to show that they are "different" - will shield your eyes from the sun. The other thing about that bill - is that if you are trying to sleep some where in public - you can pull the bill down over your eyes and ignore the rest of the world. And lastly - the bill on the ball cap gives you something to grab when you want to take the hat off or put it on. Thus - ball caps are better than beret's. .
It also makes it harder for people to see your face and looks suspicious in certain contexts, like while shopping.. Like you're trying to hide your identity. Jamie wears his hat all the time in any context, its part of his look and not just about practicality.
I always think about it like this. I work in the oil and gas industry as a blue collar worker. I can hang out, shoot the breeze and talk shit with the guys I work with and genuinely enjoy their company, but I still wouldn't consider them friends. It's not that I dont like them, it's just that outside the context of our workplace we would probably never become friends, but working together we interact enough to form a different kind of relationship. I wouldn't invite them over to my house (except for maybe one or two people I've worked with in my whole career) but I still enjoy their company when we do work together. Does that make sense?
The French Chasseurs Alpins Border Police first wore the berets in the 1850s to look different than the Police on the other side of the border. Around 1880 French Mountain Troops in the Chasseurs Alpins were issued the berets as well. Spain soon followed, then the rest of Europe. America was the last Western military to adopt the Police baret. Lots of European, Middle Eastern and Asian Police and Miltary have adopted it as well.

My brother is so like Jamie, right down to the voice and mannerisms. Hilarious!
Jamie rocks the beret and he knows it. I can't think of anyone else who could pull it off or any other hat Jamie could wear that wouldn't look odd

I can hang out, shoot the breeze and talk shit with the guys I work with and genuinely enjoy their company, but I still wouldn't consider them friends. It's not that I dont like them, it's just that outside the context of our workplace we would probably never become friends, but working together we interact enough to form a different kind of relationship. I wouldn't invite them over to my house (except for maybe one or two people I've worked with in my whole career) but I still enjoy their company when we do work together. Does that make sense?
@@nicholasnicosia2325 Yeah, I do. I did get it, it's just fascinating to me personally. The idea of this kind of relationship is amazing to me.
i feel like if we ask about the hat too much we're gonna get hurt
Berets are pretty amazing. Because sometimes they can be harder to wear attractively than you'd think
The French Chasseurs Alpins Border Police first wore the berets in the 1850s to look different than the Police on the other side of the border. Around 1880 French Mountain Troops in the Chasseurs Alpins were issued the berets as well. Spain soon followed, then the rest of Europe. America was the last Western military to adopt the Police baret. Lots of European, Middle Eastern and Asian Police and Miltary have adopted it as well.
Is it just me or does anybody else think that Jamie sounds like the fitness gram pacer test..
Pragmatism, that’s Jamie defining character trait for you.
it's because it makes him look like the most archetypical demolitions expert, obviously.
