Hats have never been on my list of favorite things. I can remember fighting with my mother when she insisted that I wear one to and from the school in the wintertime. I used to walk home bareheaded and put the hat on when I got to the front porch, until my grandmother caught me and ratted me out. After that I put it on when I reached the corner. :D
Nowadays, of course, hats are a necessary evil to provide protection from the sun. I decided that I really need something a little dressier than a baseball cap to wear to and from work so I finally broke down and bought my first old man hat.

I think the color of the hat suits your beard.

Razor, the hat looks great. I have a good collection of "old man" caps, too. I feel a little too old for ball caps (unless I am actually playing ball.)
My grandmother was always at the window when I was a kid. Whenever I left the house, she'd scream at me to put a hat on. Back then I didn't want to mess up my hair. LOL.

I hardly ever wore a hat before I shaved my head. Now, I wear one almost every time I go outside. Wow how times have changed! I also concur that the hat looks good on you Razor.

Looks good on you!

Hi Rob: The newsboy hat is a classic. I have a couple of those hats. It looks good on you. I have one that is similar to this one on Amazon.

I got it from Amazon. I may get a couple more in different colors. I really try to always wear a hat outdoors even though I would really rather not.
-
I wear a ball cap typically but I get paranoid about getting a funny tan line so I switched to a bucket hat from Outdoor Research for my activities in the sun.

You know it's over when people start telling you that you look distinguished. :-\

The hat does look good on you, Razor.....I prefer fitted ballcaps when out in the yard, but I have to wear a hardhat at work anyway, so most days, my head is covered for 12 hours.
-
Must say you look like college professor,distinguished you might say. >:D
Ps. I wear one myself.
-
Your hat looks good on you. Like the glasses, too.
I rarely wear a hat, but I have a few. Especially when I want to dress up.

Thanks, guys. I ordered a few more now that I know that the size was OK.

I use to wear a hatevery day to hide my balding head. I had a total of 12 hates and I now have put away in the closet. I keep around for when I am out in the sun for long periods of time. What made me put my hates away Simple, I took the plunge and joined the sly bald guy team. I now have been hair free on my head for 3 months. I grew a goote to keep hair on my face. I think now that it has grown in, I am going to keep.
Take care all.
from a fellow sly guy - bald and happy with a gootee I am proud of and love to sport my look.

I love Ivy caps. I have a rather large collection. Looks good on you.

haha.. when I wrote that earlier, I was thinking of my Home Owner's Association. Then when I got home, I had a letter telling me to clean my rusty driveway, sidewalk and pathway....again. :Xo!

Well, just think about how you could end up looking if you turned all decisions regarding your personal appearance to someone else (and I don't mean your wife. :;))

haha... that would be scary. But as far as the wife goes, I pretty much have her on my boat now... that last time she bought me some clothes, she actually bought me three v-neck t-shirts in three different shades of grey. I was very impressed. She knows me pretty well by now.

I wouldn't say it was bad.

Thanks. :) It was looking a bit unruly from driving around with the top down. The same thing happens when I'm on the motorcycle.

looks good dude... I'm not a huge fan of hats, only a wooly one in winter, but it does seem to suit you lol
-
I wear an Indian Motorcycle flat top hat in the cool/cold weather.
Do-rags in the Summer when out in the sun.

Hats are back! Get a Panama and listen to the complement's' from the girls. I never go out with a Panama Hat in the Summer or an fur felt Fedora or Outback Hat in the winter

Razor...hat looks great! I have had that "self conscious" feeling also about wearing a "non baseball" hat. I did not wear a hat as I was thinning (didn't realize I was so thin until I got badly burned playing golf once) & now have sun damage on the top of my head. So, now I need to wear a hat. I have one like Razor's and feel great in it. And I have a washable "Tilly Hat" with a wide brim that's casual for garden, pool, beach, etc. But, I'd like to wear something more "stylish" also and I am still somewhat self conscious about that. I have a summer straw panama hat, but find it "too" formal sometimes. This year I bought straw "Lifeguard Hat" at Orvis...big wide brim...love it & had compliments. Maybe this winter I will actually wear the Stetson 4X Beaver felt hat I purchased from Eddie Bauer 30 years ago (it's still in the box) & needs to be broken in, or the authentic Russian black rabbit fur hat with flaps.

I used to wear baseball hats ALL the time before shaving my head. Now that I've got a slick dome, I get headaches from wearing them. Can't figure it out?!?! I do wear stocking hats in the winter and they don't bother me. I do have a newsboy hat I'll wear occasionally and it doesn't seem to hurt my head.
-
That's a nice looking cap. I am a big fan of those caps, as I have several. Ironically when I had hair, I always wore hats, from ball caps, to fedoras, to driving caps such as yours.
Ever since I shaved my head though, I rarely ever wear them, even down here in Southern California when it gets really hot during the summer. Instead I tend to wear a bandana, with a backwards snapback cap over it. But that tends to be more for look then protection. I typically wear that when I haven't shave my head for a few days or as part of my overall biker gear. The bandana as well serves as a function to protect my head when I wear my motorcycle helmet.
