People don’t think some guy and his wife look like losers when he’s wearing a fedora. People think a single guy in a graphic tee with a fedora looks like a loser. Go dress sharp, the only people whose opinions of your appearance matter seem to like it when you wear one.
I shared a house with a partner during the pandemic. She was a gusher. So to save having to wash and replace her sheets all the time, she’d lay a dog blanket down any time she was having sex. And we are polyamorous, so she was having a fair amount between me and her two other partners.
I personally wear hats. A fedora is one of them. It can be hard to dress for, but I tend to underdress rather than overdo it because wearing it casually doesn’t make me look like an internet meme. Helps to be a bit older, too.
The trick is what you wear with it. Yeah, if you wear it with an edgy t-shirt, cargo pants, and a trench coat people will think you’re an asshole. If you instead wear it with, for example, a casual button down shirt, sturdy slacks, and in colder weather a light leather jacket, people will think you look like Indiana Jones. I know because that’s how I usually dress and random people compliment me on that. As long as the outfit suits the hat, people will see it in the way you mean it.
There’s no saving the Trilby hat though, there’s no outfit that makes it work. Edit: I was wrong. Even the Trilby can be cool.
I wear a trilby and get compliments frequently. People tell me I look like: The Blues Brothers, Inspector Gadget, Dick Tracey, and one guy called me Inspector Clouseau.
Damn, you’re right. I didn’t think about the Blues Brothers, who do in fact look very cool in trilbys. I guess it just requires the right accompaniment like any hat. I apologize.
My brother has a bowler. It can look damn stylish with the right clothes, and downright silly with the wrong ones. I can’t wear one though, I look silly in them no matter what I wear it with.
Whenever I hear the word ‘trilby’ it immediately makes me think of the song Gone to the Dogs by Squeeze because it has the line “in old overcoats and trilby hats.”
I’ve had to stop listening to his review. Not because I don’t like them, but because I’m way too impressionable with negative reviews and it turns me away from too many things. I miss it.
I wish fedoras didn’t have the reputation they do. My wife thinks I look sharp in a fedora.

What about a guy in a graphic tee with a fedora with his wife?
Depends on how greasy they both look.
I mean, no matter how greasy they look, they’re together, good for them.
I think it depends on how shitty they’re behaving.
From all the sex they’re having? Because you’re there too on the sex tarp?
Wtf is a sex tarp, and why would anyone need one?
A tarp you have sex on because you’re having a greasy orgy
Wait a second. You don’t have a sex tarp?

This was way more personal information than I was hoping to get from anyone today.
My guy wanted an example, I gave him an example.
There is a saying in German: Haste Hut an, biste gut an.
It translates to “If you are wearing a hat, you are dressed well.”
I don’t know about that…
The German saying says “Hut”, which is a less broad term than the English “hat”. And it definitely does not include that.
You’re right, fuck hats.
but its one of the best blue nile albums :(
Yea but hat also killed 23 baby’s so there’s that. I sure as hell don’t think he should be freed even if it was self defense.

I just feel like an asshole when I wear one now. Or more of an asshole than usual anyway.

You know what I like? The bowler. I’ve never had one, but I like bowler hats.

I don’t mind looking silly in a bowler.
Then get one. Live the dream!
Wear the fedora, don’t be an asshole, then you’ll change their perception an interaction at a time. Fuck the strangers
You’re telling me not to be self-conscious in public? You’re almost 47 years too late for that one I’m afraid.
Yeah there’s the rub 🤷
Exactly, I mean trends change. Who would have guessed the mullet would return, but here we are
Groaan, my 17y old sun is currently intentionally growing a mullet.
Can’t the trauma be enough? I already grew up in the 80s.
I mostly wear it when it’s hot and sunny. The wide brim is very useful in the sun.
I wouldn’t worry about it. The people who have weird prejudices against fedoras don’t get outside very often.
I wear a trilby. Most people think it’s a fedora

Ok grandpa.
Dude, it was a song from the 90s. I mean I know that doesn’t make me young, but…
I’m just playing man my bad. ❤️
Yahtzee?
No, but I do appreciate his reviews
Edit: though it would have been nice to be able to tell my old employer to kick rocks

Edit: spelling and grammar
