_puts on a hat and looks around_ Dorks to the left of me. Dorks to the right of me. Hmmm… I must be a dork. _puts hat back where he found it_ ---

Hats suit me. I have never heard it called hat face, but now I am totally adopting that term. ---

I look good in hats. I never wear them, though. ---

I’m in-between. I’d say that applies to most people when it comes to hats; they’ll look good in the right kind of hat, but not in others. ---

Hat face? No. Iron mask, maybe. ---

I have a hat face, yes. My head is freakishly big, though. So I’m not sure I have a hat head. ---

I don’t know if I have a hat-face, nor do I care. I’ll wear a baseball cap if the sun is out and I really don’t care how other people think I look. I probably look cool, since part of being cool is having the attitude you can carry it off, whether you can or not. ---

According to the few people who have seen me in hats - yes. I was also given a giant head, so most hats don’t even come close to fitting me. ---

I dont really like the way I look with a hat, so I almost never wear them. Just because I dont like it doesn’t mean I dont look good in them though. I really have no idea. ---

[QUOTE=amarinth] According to the few people who have seen me in hats - yes. I was also given a giant head, so most hats don’t even come close to fitting me. [/QUOTE] A few years ago, there was a thread about people who have problems finding hats to fit their heads…I am one of them. Although I don’t have a head that scares children, or is totally noticeably large to anyone, I cannot find many that fit me - even those baseball caps with the expandable back straps don’t fit. That thread gave a nice link to a place that sells hats for us, uh, huge-brain people. ---

My mother was a milliner in her youth. Both my mum and my sister look elegant, or mysterious, our cute or interesting in hats. Me, I look like some random thing fell out of the sky and died on my head. ---

I look about 15 with a hat. So, no…I don’t have a hat face. ---

I have a good baseball cap face, but that is the only hat I think I look good in. ---

I can totally do baseball caps or cowboy hats, but I look like an idiot in visors (but doesn’t everyone) and cutesy vintage fedoras, etc. ---

I know exactly what you mean! I do NOT have a hat face. I’ve never met a hat that didn’t make me look like a total dork. ---

I have a “hat face”. The effect is apparently so prominent that I have a set of pictures, taken when I was about to graduate high school, that feature me in an Indiana Jones hat I got at Disneyland. I also used to have a couple of fedoras and cloches that I wore when I was going out with friends. These days, I walk around outside a lot. I still have the Indiana Jones hat – hats, actually, since I bought another one at Disneyland last year – and a bunch of newsie and mechanics caps for keeping the glare out of my eyes. They go well with the Lennon glasses. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-have-a-hat-face/415462.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-have-a-hat-face/415462.md?page=3)
