    My father has taken to wearing a flat cap when going to the races.....

    Please tell me he only dons such a garment at national hunt meetings and doesn't frequent The Curragh wearing this thing.

    Wearing a hat would mess up my hair... it's greying and receding enough as it is without looking like I was dragged through a bush :P

    What your average neckbeard doesn't get is that fedoras and trilbys were worn at a time when men wore three piece suits ALL THE TIME. Wearing them with your "vintage" sports coat you bought for €160 in a "thrift" shop and skinny jeans is just silly.

    I always thought fedoras were great, liking how well people dressed back in the earlier half of the 20th century... and ofc Indiana Jones, until them ****** reddit trolls completely tainted it forever...

    Hats are cool as ice-cream. I have a collection becoz I look good in hats. But some people can't wear a hat at all and no matter what they put on their head, it looks like a tea-cosy.

    I think women who wear men's hats look quite sexy.

    Attractive woman wearing a top-hat, bowler, pork-pie, or military style cap looks great.

    Don't wear hats myself. They make my head too hot and my hair is curly so when I take the hat off I look like there's a bird's nest on my head.

    I'm bald so I have a collection. Women always nick them and whilst I admit they look sexy, I want my hat back.

    Instead of a hat, offer them your helmet... See if they'll take that instead

    I have a Russian submariners leather Ushanka lined with real fur, great for the winter.

    My head is too massive to wear anything other than a woolly hat to keep the cold off.

    I wish I could be like Leonard...

    I use a nice tweed flat-cap in inclement weather, and occasionally a standard GSX-R Hooligan's black wool monkey-hat.

    Wear a hat in this country (other than a beanie or baseball hat) and you're guaranteed some eejit will nab it off you in the pub and place it on his/her own head.
    For 'the craic'.
    Only ever happens here. Like wtf?

    Flat caps, caps, woolly hats and the like are fair enough, anything from the brimmed hat world which leaves you looking like a homeless Amish person is not advisable in this day and age.

    Brimmed hat, hipster facial hair and braces should be enough to warrant said person being ejected from any most bars and restaurants. Should I ever be elected president it'll will warrant a short sharp stint breaking rocks somewhere cold and unpleasant.

    And if I'm elected president any hat wearer will automatically be allowed give you a kick in the liathróidi....
