    agreed a hat looks ridiculous when worn with casual clothing but you can't deny a hat, suit and brogues is a fabulous combo...maybe I'm not mourning the loss of hats but more the loss of looking smart all the time and not just on special occasions.

    It is a shame. I've considered buying a fedora. My everyday 'costume' is shoes, trousers, shirt, tie, overcoat. A fedora wouldn't at all look out of place but given that nobody wears them anymore, I'm sure I'd get some strange looks. Which I could do without.

    I hope they come back tbh, although thats more to do with watching Mad Men and seeing how utterly cool men used to dress back then, three piece suit and hat, Don Draper style, yes.

    Jackie Healy Rae should never take his off anyway that's for sure.
    Hats are great, but if I start wearing on of those cool old hats down the road I'd look like a complete tosser, and nobody wants to be a tosser.

    Because the wide selection of hats in TF2 makes all other hat selections look inferior.

    There is serious $$$$$$ to be made out of the hair care industry than hat manufacturing,

    So, in popular culture and marketing its all lovely hair on tv, magazines et al no hats,

    after 20-30 years of this = today, where people don't wear hats.

    I'd love to say that I came up with that, but I didn't, I read it in a journal a couple of months ago.

    Bring back hats!

    I carry a folding M&S Cricket Hat with me - similar to this. Over the last couple of years it's kept every kind of weather off my head. I can get it out of my jacket pocket and on to my head in about two seconds. :cool:

    I wear a lot of hats, unfortunately hipsters have tainted the hat's image so most people think they're uncool.

    Yep, after watching a couple of seasons of mad men i really do wish hats came back into fashion.

    Ladies: Don Draper.

    Case closed.

    I think Don Draper looks better without a hat actually. Obviously he's beautiful either way though.
