    I was born in the '50s and grew up in the '60s, and I constantly saw men in my community wearing hats to the office, church, and family get-togethers. I love wearing hats. Thanks for sharing this video!

    Love it….I’ve been rocking my grandfather’s fedora for years! And purchased a couple of my own….now that I’m officially above the 60 mark, I wear a hat for function, warmth in the winter, and to keep the sun at bay during the hot months…hats are essential to us OLDER,OG’S

    I'm a 60 year old, white, American man, and I still wear hats. My everyday hat is a navy blue Greek fishermans cap.
    I also smoke cigars, tobacco pipes, and drink Scotch.

    Bespoke hats are my go to when I’m out and about. I got into hats in my late 20’s and now I’m almost 56 and usually never go out without one. However, I just purchased three flat caps and really do like the style and how they do accentuate what I am wearing. My fedora is a GREAT all around style that should be a part of any man’s wardrobe. Cheers

    Great video Jeff
    I wear a wide brim hat everytime I wear a suit and tie. It just completes and compliments the outfit. As far as celebrities who frequently wear hats, you've got to remember Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. They were sharp, in their suits and hats!! People say that I resemble them when I wear my suits and hats.

    PS - I love the Panama and Fedora, but I can't get myself to wear them.

    Great topic. I rocked a fedora style for years until the baseball caps took over in eighties and nineties. I had tennis hats in 70s. Also loved straw hats. The short brims are popular,but don't provide good eye protection. Hats disguise baldness and give a youthful look as well to the players!

    @Zofer-1920 2 дня назад +2

    Hat Squad! lol I have a great wool flat cap I wear in the colder seasons and a nice straw panama hat I keep at work. Every time I have a break and go for a walk to get a coffee or snack… I use it during my stroll. It gives me confidence and surprisingly gets me more engaging interactions with people I meet and see. Highly recommend wearing hats for more regular occasions.

    Style OG, I have been rocking the Homburg and Porkpie hats for years. I saw my Grandfather during the early 70s never leave the house without a hat; that man was Class Personified. I was always an old soul and my style (once I was able to financially procure my own style) was always in the style of what I saw as a lad. Hats NEVER went out of style for me....and never will, my brotha. Thank you for bringing this to light.

    This is historically correct. You hit on all contributing points. Hats no longer became practical or generationally fashionable. By the way, you're killing that hat. Not everyone can pull those off.

    I really appreciate this video. I feel like I've been waiting on it for a couple of years. I own about 75+ fedoras, skimmers, homburgs and derbies. I've always felt like my outfit was incomplete without one and the accessibility of hats online really helped to build my collection.
    To your point, it takes a bit of confidence to pull it off because you will stand out and catch stares, but it's all good! Great episode!

  • @superskills1017
    @superskills1017 2 дня назад +2

    I think it's also that hats used to functionally go with and style those older outfits.
    They used to complete them, but these days, it's just not like that anymore and I feel in some sense it's because people forgot how to style themselves around hats.
    I personally have very long hair, so it's either tie it up and style it with hat.
    But there's so many hat personalities people can present.
    That simple cold environment/athletic wear, topped with a beanie is always a chill, familiar look.
    A classic black snapback with a black shirt and a bit gold jewellery feels timeless, sharp, yet relaxed.
    A bucket hat with a colourful button up says laidback and fun.
    A leather rancher hat, with a duster or flanel is such a unique fit that demands attention and tells everyone who the law is.
    And a blazer or suit complete with a trilby or a fedora screams elegance and class.
    Also, your fit is absolutely on point. A hat that matches the outfit for colour, it flows perfectly, people seem to often forget that a hat should compliment everything else that's going on not fight it.

    For me, my running down the hat rabbit hole was a bit like trying to find a holster that you like. Even the littlest bit of a difference can actually be a lot. I started off with fedoras, then a derby, then flat caps, newsboy cap, an Irish walking hat, beret. It is./was fun. They gp with some waistcoats that I bought too. Along with a vintage pocket watch.Also, I am so tiered of seeing grown men walk around in public with pajamas on! I always keep my bartenders/ waitresses guessing! Salute! Happy New Year!

    I never stopped wearing hats and never leave the house without one. I have a collection of fedoras, panamas, flat caps, newsboy caps and baseball caps. They are an integral part of my wardrobe.
    They are very practical as well. Last time I checked it still gets cold outside. People are still wearing coats, gloves and scarves so why not include a hat too?

    I wear an ivy cap. It's to keep the sun out of my eyes while driving, because I do not wear sunglasses, ever. I can move it as I need to in order to block the sun. I match ivy cap to coat or clothing color, and generally only fall into winter and early spring.

    Good video.I have a good collection of hats but rarely wear them. I live in a super casual southwest city where people dress like crap all the time. It’s a style desert where wearing a tie is seen as being overly formal and a pocket square blows people’s minds. Now that I’m retired, I plan on wearing my hats more often and won’t care what others think.

    All points on check! I started wearing fedora hat around 2006. At first it was panama straw hat in summer, than felt fedora hat in late 2006. I wore it for 2 or 3 years until 2008 or 2009. Hat is a nice headgear to wear in cool weather. It protects you from cold and elements like rain. It is more formal headgear than beanie. It goes very well with a suit. Since most people started to wear casually since mid 20 century it lost it's appeal. In formal or semiformal occasions I could rock a newsboy cap, trilby or a fedora, . I would wear fedora with a blazer or a sports coat and especially with formal suit, but not with casual outfits like casual jackets. And when I wear hats my ears are exposed to cold. So in very cold weather I usually wear beanie to protects ears from cold. But in cold in more formal occasions with a blazer, sport coat or suit, I would rock a classic hat like newsboy hat, trilby or a fedora hat. Summer is of course for panama straw hat.

    I like your content. However, I really enjoy when you infuse history into the narrative. This video was on-point. I really like hats. Actually, I wore baseball caps often until I let my hair grow longer. Thus, I don't want to groom it and allow the hat to mess it up!!! Grooming my hair is a chore!!! LOL!!!. On the other hand, however, I just don't know where to start with choosing dress hats. Thanks for giving some pointers. I will use them and, at the same time, figure out how to rock a hat on my lengthening hair. Keep up the good work.

    @Dao4deuce День назад

    I love hats, always have. When I had hair, and especially now that I don't. I'm fair skinned, so they provide invaluable sun protection for me, but also provide plenty of style for different occasions. Scally caps are my go-to, for most occasions, as a good one from Boston Scally can work in business casual, to fully casual and far between. For more formal, sunnier or colder weather, I rock a felt or pelt fedora to provide more protection from the elements and to go with a wool coat or light jacket. For summer sporting events, it's a ball cap or a beanie for winter sporting events. Just make sure you take your time and purchase a quality fedora or scally cap that fits you properly, and always listen to that brutally honest friend if a particular hat just isn't working. Some hats like trilbies can be really cringy on many men, especially if it's cheaply made or doesn't fit perfectly.

    • @Dao4deuce
      @Dao4deuce День назад

      My favorite hat makers include Goorin Bros (especially their fedoras and pork pie hats), Boston Scally for scally caps or newsie caps, Stormy Kromer for winter hats, and Churchill Ltd. for more vintage or classic styles.
