That means there is still time for him to escape. Guys who are confident in cowboy hats are the biggest douches on Earth.
As someone from Texas, this perplexed me for a few minutes.
Imagine having the same problem with pants.
Don’t let that out of your mouth. We’re barely holding as is.
Is that David Faustino?
He was 15 when UHF released, so no.
I’m gonna go ahead and blame schools for being so strictly anti-hat. Kids would get in trouble for wearing them. Head-coverings in general were forbidden unless they were religious in nature, so many kids never got a chance to get used to wearing them.
It made me feel strange seeing so many kids’ shows with characters that wear hats all the time. Hats were like a forbidden accessory in my childhood, and now even though I’m out in the “adult world,” they feel too weird to even try.
See you know what’s funny? In my early school years, hats were mandatory. I got bought a dorky thing that got me made fun of, and I hated it.
I now have a complex where I feel weird about wearing hats.
Nah, my school didn’t care about hats. But my head’s always been pretty big. Not figuratively.
My daughter’s k-8 school here in California actually allows hats. Kinda blew my mind.
Can you explain what you mean “being anti-hat”? In my school they just had an issue with hats being worn indoors, which i think is reasonable.
What’s wrong with wearing hats indoors?
Comes from the same origins as removing your shoes at the door, I’d imagine. Considered proper guest etiquette or some other Victorian era nonsense like that.
I do prefer people taking shoes off at the door.
Okay but shoes are about not bring dirt and mud from the ground inside. Whatever is coming in on my hat is also coming in on my shirt and pants.
Hats are older than floors? I guess?
No it’s just nonsense
I get an uncomfortable moment through basically every door and have to remind myself it’s ok to wear hats indoors.
I genuinely have no idea where this comes from, but it’s super ingrained. It feels vaguely connected to hospitality and has a chivalry vibe.
I’m fairly new to being a hat person though, so it could be gitters.
I don’t usually correct people’s spelling, but seeing jitters spelled with a G gives me the heebie jeebies.
I was taught, as a child in the '70s and '80s, that only women could wear hats at meals and in church. Later, in the military, it’s a rule while in uniform that hats must be worn outdoors and may not be worn indoors unless you are armed.
It still strikes me as very unprofessional when police leave their headwear in the vehicle, and a little “off” when people are eating indoors with hats on.
Not to mention all the hat etiquette in Western countries up until the '60s: https://youtu.be/zePIkXSB1kA
kind of like wearing sunglasses indoors. It’s unnecessary and can cover your eyes
Can’t speak for OP, but where I lived there was a big problem with gangs and specifically youth gangs. Certain hats could be a marker of affiliation with one gang or another, and people at school got targeted for it… Thus, in the infinite wisdom of the public education system, hats were universally banned. We had the same issue with solid colored shirts, but at least then it was just red and blue that were forbidden.
It ultimately did nothing to address the problem, because gang affiliation markers would just move on to the next thing. If they couldn’t find a way to express it through obvious clothing, it would be with accessories or jewelry or hairstyles, etc.
I haven’t been a hat wearer for decades now.
But getting ouside in full “farmer dad” mode away from the computers and phones and content, and having my toes in the grass while wearing one of my sun hats with the big-ass rim all the way around like a floppy mini sombrero to protect me from the daystar, now that’s the stuff. Then I’m ready to get some shit done.
Aside: I see you, person who is thinking about moving my hyphen. 😏
It’s nice to feel seen.
I’m the opposite. I feel like I’m naked if I’m outside without a hat and everyone is judging me for it.
Hey guys, check out Mr. 1850s here!
If you don’t know about the history of hats, it’s surprisingly fascinating lol
You aren’t fully dressed until you’ve got your hat. Send me back a century its difficult to find good quality hats these days and the sizes are more generic.
In my village we have a quality hat store. Most are handmade and >100€. I am not a hat person but if I wanted to become one, it would be a huge investment 😅
Oh lordy yes, I used to have a trilby that fitted me perfectly and got positive attention from the ladies, it was made in the '30s.
When it eventually wore out they were fashionable, so all the vintage ones were expensive, and all the new ones were rubbish.
I miss my trilby :-/
Especially uncomfortable when my hair is grown a little too much and haven’t had the time to shave yet
I have long hair and thats half the reason i wear a hat. Keeps it under control and the wind pushing little strands around on top of my head and in my face really bothers me.
So how do you keep your hat on in wind?
yeah this is me with a beanie on for decades now,
but its like the master sword, i only break the hair out when its needed! ( to get attention from cuties!)
Sounds like this
pretty much!
Ho ho, a wild fleem in their natural habitat
Interacting and shit!
I gotta plan for that, the rats nest of hat hair doesn’t always win them over
That, plus I’d rather have hat hair all over my whole head than just one dent across the middle from my headphones.
Just gonna put this here:
I knew this would be here. Thank you for your service 😌
I’m doing my part! 🫡
Oooo it’s not often I see a Brian David Gilbert reference in the wild
Me either. This is his best song in my opinion.
Caterpillars is pretty fire too
Means you don’t need to wear a hat. If it’s super sunny or it’s a key part of your attire you’ll know exactly what you’re doing and won’t feel awkward. I never liked wearing hats always felt just like you said, rarely wore them. Now im heavily balding and a hat is the most comfortable thing in the world, because i know exactly why i need to wear this hat lol
I can do beanies and such just fine, but put a brim on it, yes, awkward.
I decided that being a father allows me to look more silly. Now the hats (and their protective properties) are in my arsenal.
The hat goes on the head!
Head-on. Apply directly to the forehead.
Banana! Banana! Banana!
Question for the hat experts. I’m looking for a good hat with a full brim for sun protection that uses no animal products that doesn’t make me look like I want to use phrases like “M’lady”
Get a straw hat! They are nice, fresh ‘n’ fashionable
Bucket hats are cool
I wear a hat so often that my employees did not recognize me the one time I didn’t. They were saying how my hair wasn’t how they expected lol.
Similar things happen to me and I don’t even have hair lol
“holy shit! You’re bald???”
I get shit like that for being left handed from people who’ve known me for years lol
I’m left handed as well but I don’t remember the last time someone noticed. Guess it was while playing the guitar or something
That might be what does it for me actually. I play right handed but everything else is left. That and I write with the paper upside-down which def looks weird.
Floofy curly hair?
No, very straight but a side part and huge cowlick
I think the fundamental issue is that I’m a T-shirt kinda guy and nothing except a baseball cap goes right with a T-shirt. A lot of the other hats need something like a suit to make sense.
A Gilligan bucket hat would be fine. Or a gardening-type straw hat.
Go shirtless!
But also, I wear my Aussie hat with a T-shirt - it’s a little more subdued than a cowboy hat*, so it works I think :-)
* My friends still call it my cowboy hat.
I used to wear skater beanies/egg shells with tshirts. I also used to dress more like a skater though.
A bucket hat can work. I can’t pull it off personally but I’ve known people who rocked it
I love hats so much, and don’t understand why they aren’t more popular (apart from baseball caps, which I also enjoy)
