Default Re: bought classic-style hat, am I a douche?

Mine is very similar, but a tan color. But why don't you think you can wear it out? I wore a jet black crushed felt fedora with a wide brim and blood red feather to a wedding and couldn't count the number of complements (the pimpness was, though, that I had a matching blood red tie against my black pin-stripe suit and black shirt). Hell, one woman even asked if she could take my picture.

I think much of the problem is that people are so concerned with standing out they forget that:

1. It looks super-pimp if you don't clown the rest of the close

and

2. Standing out is usually a good thing.

I agree, some just don't work with hats, or even specific hats, but I think most could if they paid attention to their look.

To OP:

It helps if you're brown. Don't ask me why. Also, that style is pretty specific, and I personally don't like it. You should go for one that's a bit sharper in it's lines and less Bowl-like, that has a curvyer brim, that isn't too "tall" and doesn't have too wide a brim. The latter two are just fine with that hat, but I still say you should go for a sharper style.

Ill be completely honest with you. Im already pretty much a walking stereotype, obv italian guy, wearing a nice suit, driving an escalade, with the occasional white crap on the tip of his nose, I think wearing that hat would just be too much.

Hi Eviljeff,

I think thats a pretty sharp hat, however I agree with the posters who say you will need to wear this with an overcoat and dress clothes/suit.

A cigar would look good also.

Hmm, i bought a hat like this a few years ago. At the time i thought it was an excellent purchase. But i don't think i've ever worn it out as i have no idea what the rest of the outfit should consist of.
