What's with all the mini-fedoras these days?

I love wearing my fedoras, but I customize all mine. And yes, I wear them with jeans.

I am definitely not a hipster.

No.

Well, this thread reminded me I haven’t bought a new hat in a year. So I went down to Byrnie Utz on my afternoon break and bought one of these.

Think I’m a douche?

GOOD! :stuck_out_tongue:

There is no way to wear anything without being thought a douche by self-appointed arbiters of fashion. Wear what you like.

You know one of the primary traits of being a hipster is denial ones own hipsterism.

:wink:

Also, real hipsters stopped wearing hats in about 2006. Get with the times people!

I’d like to bring back the Duke of Wellington’s old hat

or, failing that, his new hat

I’ve always wanted one of these hats. A hat like that is sure to give me vigor, vim, vitality, and punch.

“Devo Red Energy Dome Hat”? I always thought they were upside down plant pots.

Nope. Jell-O molds, IIRC.

Hey! I’m a hipster! Neat!

Perhaps these are those “Urban Sombreros” I have heard tell about.

I customized mine too, and wear it with jeans. And Chucks.

Onward to hipster douchedom! Although on me it looks more faggy (which is what I’m going for) than hipsterish; of course, everything I wear looks faggy, up to and including steel-toed boots.

Don’t confuse being a hipster with being hip, is all I have to say.

I hate these hats. They’re all over a certain class of tourist in Thailand.

I have a video somewhere that I took of a guy in one of these hats, wearing a wife-beater, and yellow Speedos dancing in a club and thinking he was the dog’s bollocks. It’s horrific.

So, when I’ve been there over the past few years, I’ve formulated the general rule “if you wear a pork pie hat, you are likely to be a douchebag”. This hasn’t been proven wrong so far.

Unless by “hip” you mean “not quite ass, but close enough.”

I’ve got some bad news…

Not to worry - the closest I get to hip is, well, having hips. :slight_smile:

I liked this thread better on vinyl.
