does a man need to be before he can pull off wearing one of these? It is not the age, but rather the look of the man.

Depends on where you live, too. Might fly in Pennsylvania, maybe not in rural Arizona. Sycamore Cloth cap

Fast approaching mid 60's here. My wife say's she likes the look of that type hat when I let the beard grow, and so does my son. ... As always, YMMV  ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v149/joken2/CanonS5IS021.jpg)

Ask derby dude,
Wouldn't catch me dead in one. Nor me. I heard my Dad call that a co#k$ukker hat once when I was young. When I asked him what he was talking about he replied, "I don't know what ya' really call 'em, but Earl (our curmudgeonly neighbor) always wears a hat like that and he's a real co#k$ukker". Kinda stuck in my head ever since.
