I find it amazing that with the narrow exception of ballcaps and cowboy hats, hats have been shuned for maybe 45 years. I guess it's changing which is great - I mean how can you dress nicely in hot sunny weather if you can't wear a decent hat?

I don't understand why hats fell out of fashion. Some of those dress hats like the fedora or a bowler didn't look too bad... Is that Stymie as an older man? A good hat can last many years.

does a man need to be before he can pull off wearing one of these? The perfect driving cap. Any age will do.

I heard my Dad call that a co#k$ukker hat once when I was young. I've never heard them called anything else.

Outside of a baseball cap and my black Stetson the only other hat I would consider wearing, would be a Fedora like Indiana Jones wore.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,

My hats generally have about a 4" brim (as recommended by MD's in this region of skin cancer), but I use a ball cap when the wind blows too hard. I really don't want to end my life ear-marked! Mark
