      I want one so bad. It's rather unfortunate that virtually no one sells them in my country, certainly none that fit my rather ridiculous head size.
      Panamas on the other hand, are readily available if you know where to look.

      @@LeviSquidman I do agree. Versatility is one of my greater concerns as I don't really like wasting money. A boater is not particularly versatile outside the realm of summer suits and coat combinations. I used to wear those a lot, but this is not possible anymore. This has been the hottest summer in my country's recorded history and trying to wear coats in this weather is plain idiotic.
      However, I still think they look amazing and looking "dated" is not much of a concern since my entire lifestyle is "dated" by design.

    One of my favorite warm weather hats is a woven Western/Cowboy hat. I have a huge head and upper frame and I find the usual Panama or boater looks like a child's hat on me. My personal summer hat is a Resistol white 20X Shantung western hat. That said, if yall are from up north or from a place where the western hat isnt in style and have similar proportions as me, then try looking for specifically a wide brim Panama. I found one in Mexico that works well enough, but im sure theres some online or at your local hat store.

    The very hot very dry summers where I live have made Panama hats something I've worn since I could afford a good one. They look great over everything except a dark suit.

    • @masterkamen371
      @masterkamen371 5 месяцев назад +1

      I'm trying to explain this to my family and friends. A wide brimmed Panama is truly the only appropriate headwear in these extremely hot summers.
      However, they just laugh when they hear that a proper one costs 110€. But there really is no other option, the cheap hats are either paper garbage or plastic toyo straw (imagine wearing a plastic hat at 45°C). A baseball hat is useless even though it's what everyone wears. My uncle literally has burns on his face from wearing one instead of a hat while working in the field all day.
      I'm kept decently cool even at the hottest temperatures by the hat and a summer-appropriate wardrobe. Meanwhile everyone else is constantly complaining how the sun is burning, meanwhile they're wearing a black baseball hat and dark (usually poliester) clothes. Suffer then if you are so stubborn.

    • @maniak942
      @maniak942 4 месяца назад

      You can gift someone a hat if its a big issue, if they are so conscious of price tags. Having an ally in that fight can make the difference. A straw farm hat from Vinted can cost you 5€ and it would maybe convince your uncle to just throw it on into the field works. Then there would be 2 of you convincing everyone 😅​@@masterkamen371

    I keep getting compliments on a Panama hat I purchased at the flea market. The thing is made in China and cost me 3 dollars but it has gotten me more compliments then any garment or accessory I have worn. It's amazing how many people love that hat style. Off white with a black band and the best 3 dollars I have ever spent bar none.🤠

    I have two palm leaf hats from Sunbody Hats that are made in Guatemala and they are very good quality and supposed to have SPF 50 sun protection. One is a top hat so not for everyday wear but works with my historical outfits. I also have a straw Trilby. After getting slight sunburn on the back of my ears and not wanting that again (I was wearing a newsboy cap at the time so didn't cover my ears), besides sunscreen,I have opted for hats with a wider brim to cover the top of my ears and face from direct sunlight when not wanting to wear a bucket hat.

    The panama hats are my favorite summer hat. They have a tendency to become discolored from sweat stains however. I also have linen and cotton newsboy caps. I prefer the linen because it is lighter then the cotton which can be a bit heavy.

    For working in the garden I like wearing a straw gondolier's hat (you didn't mention these!); I don't have the courage to wear it out on the street, though. I've got a boater I originally bought decades ago (found a hat stretcher at an antiques store that I use to keep it sized), but there are fewer and fewer occasions when it would be appropriate to wear it nowadays without engendering snickers. I did find some cotton/linen scally (flat) caps that make decent street wear.

    Personally, I am against wearing a hat in a car, but when I am the driver and the sun is low in front, I prefer the use of a baseball cap to the car's sun visor.
    When I am looking around, such a cap has the advantage of automatically pointing in the direction I am looking. Also, I only have to nod my head to adjust the cap to block reflected sunlight from windows of other cars etcetera (quicker and safer than having to adjust a sun visor by hand each time).

    My Dad owned a hat shop here in Detroit called LOUIE THE HATTER. It was a very successful store, but declined after the riots here in 1967. This was a good video, very comprehensive & accurate. I gravitate towards pork pies and trilbies. American men need to cool it with the baseball caps. I wear my Olde English D cap to a ball game only. Hate to see them in places like restaurants. That's not only rude, but low class.

      @TheRealFeechLaManna 5 месяцев назад

      @@gentlemansgazette One can dress adaptively without falling below certain standards. I will give you, that there are regional differences. You live in the US, where it is common for adult men to wear baseball caps. I live in Europe, where nobody above 18 would consider doing so. To us, caps are for kids, and even for them not all that common in comparison. You can easily walk around downtown in my Scandinavian capitol a whole day and not see a single cap.
      But the ideal and way of being well dressed, that you yourself believe in, has its roots in European culture, and thus, I find it reasonable that you too should shun such unclassy headpieces. A well dressed man, or just any civilized man, in fact, wears long legged trousers and some form of buttoned shirt or atleast a polo, at all times, unless in a swimming pool or sports-playing scenario. How can one imagine paring that with a baseball cap? What do you think Jeeves would say, if Bertie Wooster wanted to wear a baseball cap? No sir, one does not have to be formally dressed all the time to be well dressed, but one should try to stay atleast somewhat classy at all times.

      the darker brown color is pretty common for that model, etc. Not sure how many cowboy hats are made from actual straw, but probably a lot more than the trilby or other Carrib style ones.

      Pith Helmets are TOTALLY classic; just good luck finding them in sizes large enough for average American men's heads these days.

      Also, the "bucket" hat and the "adventure" hat or whatever shown are basically the same hat, except the one had snap brim and both had wider brim than standard BUCKET, which has smaller brim than even the coconut one he is wearing [although not the stingiest brim possible there, etc.]

      so we're calling coconut "straw"? I'm still pretty sure they GROW on PALM trees.

    Okay… how much I love the GG team and Preston, I can no longer keep this just for me; Preston you need to wear your hats better! Hats are supposed to sit level on your head, not tilted backwards! It certainly does not look stylish and gentlemanly, more like being a boy-scout..

    Who is wearing these, at age < 60 especially? I love classic style but these hats are dead, save the odd flat cap and, of course, the baseball cap.

      Panamas are of great interest, save for the price (the unintentional play on words amused me, too). ;-)

      Jack here, UK-based, age 31. Interestingly, flat caps are seen as an "old man's" hat, and I'd say the Panama in either Trilby or Fedora styles are some of the most popular summer hat choices that span the age groups. Perhaps classic summer hats are dead in your part of the world, but there's certainly demand for them in London!

    If you are wearing a straw boater hat in 2024 it better be because you are on the way to or from a community theater production dress rehearsal. Because it's a costume. I'm sorry, it just is. I know the founder of this RUclips channel secretly wishes it were 1924 instead of 2024 so he could dress like Fred Astaire, but reality has a way of always winning. No one needs to like it, just understand it.

      We're more than happy to be dressing in Classic Style in 2024, and we've previously spoken about the fine line between classic and costume. We're also huge advocates for dressing in a style that suits you and makes you feel happy - for some, this means never wearing a boater, others will be happy to wear a boater on the odd occasion where it "makes sense", and there are those who are happy to wear a boater wherever. In summary, if wearing (or not wearing) a straw boater makes you happy, then go for it 😉

      In Spain we have a hat called cordovan hat, that it's like a boater but with a wider brim. It's popular especially in the south and they look really cool. I suppose that these would seem more costumey to you than the boaters because of the wider brim...
