bob Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I can't stand to wear anything on my head. I don't understand why people would wear a hat indoors either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieZ Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I think it's down to context and personal preference. When I wear a baseball cap, I look like a bald man trying to hide the fact that he doesn't have any hair—despite the fact that I'm not bald. I have hair. Needless to say, caps are a no-go, unless I'm going to run for hours in direct sunlight; then I've got a trucker-style cap I can just about get away with. But if you are a bald man trying to hide the fact that he doesn't have any hair, it might actually be a pretty good idea. I think as with anything else in fashion, before wearing what everyone else is wearing, it's good to stop and consider, "Does this make me look like an idiot?"

Vancvillan Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 At the age of 40 I bought my first one during C19 lockdown because my wife didn't want me shaving my own head and I was sick of having the same haircut as my mum. I only wear it outside when it's pissing down and I've got an hour of toddler-walking ahead of me. Under the hood of a rain jacket it's life changing. What's got two thumbs, a big smile and a dry face? This guy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I have a cap as I am a bald man hiding the fact I have a cold head. Its not a baseball cap. More Foggy off Last of the summer wine than Eazy E off of NWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 30, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2021 I also wear them in the summer. Half because it stops my bald head getting burnt, half because they look cool. I'm sure the hiking shoe, combat trouser and Regatta fleece wearing VT fashion gurus will be along soon to tell me how stupid they look 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Lockdown haircut means I've got little choice some days even though I don't like them I actually need a new one to increase my colour range Problem is I only like the new era 39thirty, that's the one with no clip or gap at the back, they're really good quality too to be fair to NE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic09 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Is there a good way to get rid of sweat marks on baseball caps? Has anyone figured out how to do it? Google seems to give plenty of advice, none of it any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first thing that came to my head when I saw this thread (I've never seen it before), was this song. Have to wear a baseball style bump cap for work and I bloody hate it. Never, ever wear one away from that. Not even on the golf course, wear they seem rife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
