I guess if you can pull one off, go for it! Wouldn't blink twice at an older guy wearing one.

I sure couldn't pull one off, that's for sure.

I guess my disdain for them stems to some people wearing them during college who I didn't enjoy very much, so my view may be a bit slanted.

Reminds of this picture, which always cracks me up.




That is too funny.

The hat subject has been covered before, and I will again say I am not a fan of ball caps. Hats are made for a reason, and it seems to me most are not used for a purpose, especially ball caps. Ball caps were made for baseball players, and are part of the uniform. I don't know when it morphed from purpose to fashion statement, but I just don't care for it. I really dislike when a person is wearing one in a restaurant, there's no need for it.
If you're using one to hide your head, lose it. You're not fooling anyone!

I will wear a cap when I have need to; out in the sun for long periods, yard work, ball game (where they most belong), beach, Disney, zoo, etc. You get the picture.

Whatever happened to removing your hat when you sat down to eat.?

Didn't really wear hats until I joined the Air Force.  Learned the hard way that they weren't just for on duty when I was stationed at Nellis AFB NV, right next to Las Vegas. 

I like boonie or bucket hats the best for knocking around in the summer.  If I wear a baseball hat, you can be darned sure I'll burn my ears.  In the fall I switch to either a fedora (I'm from Chicago originally, what can I say?) or an Irish Driving Cap.  In the winter I wear a watch cap or my http://www.stormykromer.com/.

Next I want to get a right proper Derby.
One definition of "surrender" is, "To join the winning side."
