Title: How do you wear your ball cap?
Post by: _33 on July 08, 2010, 10:59:28 PM
I am writing a paper on how people wear a ball cap.  (https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ft2.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3APo7Ke1N8Eum0YM%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.emofaces.com%2Fen%2Femoticons%2Fb%2Fbaseball-cap-emoticon.gif&hash=915210c4006703dbe48cce4c6904f3a4ca861790)

Man, have been feeling like kind of a loser because I don't think I can pull off the flat bill.  I'm still stuck in the 90s frat boy look with the super curved bill.  I know this is old mannish but I just can't break it.  99% of the time I don't wear a hat though.   :frown:

i only try the strait bill w/ my black ksu hat and michael beasley eilite jersey.  wife does not like.  probably didn't look good w/ beard.  global warming this winter might end need for winter beards and i could look much better.  i'll revisit this topic then.  tia

I refuse straight bill.  Refuse.  Like SD I go with the super curved 90s look and i won't change any time soon.  Back then I used to work the bill relentlessly and I stored my hats with the bill wrapped around a baseball with a rubber band for ridiculous amounts of curvy-ness. 

Frankly, I don't care how old it makes me look.  Wear hats often, especially in the summer.

I think if you grew a beard you could do the flat bill.  Not positive though.

I have a royals chowder-blue flatbill that I only wear when I go to the K, or if I'm wearing gym shorts.  Otherwise, no hat for me please.

your poll sucks because it is in 2D.

The amount of lift on the hat is also important.

I almost never wear hats (do not own right now) but in the past I wore both straight and curved slightly askew to the right and back on my head a little so that my forehead was out and about.

It's actually all about the lift. Lift is the name of the game kids.

I naturally go tilting back and to the left a bit. Graduating college really puts a cramp in your hat game.

Can also be worn forward as long as you have broken in the hat and you don't have the mushroom top head effect. Can either be flat bill or curved.

This is always true.  The extra low super bent look was/is as horrid as the flat bill look

It is also ultra-rad and completely ridiculous looking to tuck your ears underneath your flat-billed ball cap these days.

wear a hat 24-7 and not even balding.  Feel weird and no before backing out of the garage if i don't have a hat on. Forward with a slight bend or heavy bend... depends on the hat.  always wear it forward and straightforward, because the old joke.

Q: you a catcher or welder?

 neither why?

A: cause those are the only two professions i know that wear there hat backwards besides a male genitals sucker....

ZING!!! then proceed to punch them in the face
Title: Flat Brim Hats
Post by: j-von on April 07, 2011, 11:04:23 PM
What do you guys think about this trend?  

I have been wanting an official New Era Royals hat for a long time but every time I'm determined to find one at Lids, 90% of them have the huge front and even bigger brim that make me look absolutely ridiculous. The other 10% look pretty shitty and I'm not a fan of most flex-fits.  The hat is so deep on the 59fifty I would have to put my ears inside the hat for it to go all the way down (which some people do for some reason).

I actually started hunting on ebay to find an older version, but couldn't find anything.  Eventually I found out that New Era makes a 59fifty low crown version which you can't find anywhere, but they sell them online so I crossed my fingers and ordered it.  Came in today and it's actually pretty nice.  Fits my head perfect, it's not too deep, and the brim is still oversized and flat but after bending it some it's looking better.  The huge front is gone so it fits more like the old style.  Here's a pic:

(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fidn.efashionsolutions.com%2Fasset%2Fimage%2Fformat%2FNE-ex%2Fid%2FNE-LWCRNPERFKAN_lightroyal_front&hash=b958e700e936475dda58873a8d3d3fe258e0742f)

Anyways, I'm not sure if anybody else has been frustrated by not being able to find a good hat lately, but just in case I figured I'd share my thoughts.

I'm sure there are going to be hat haters out there, but I don't need your douchey opinions on why adults shouldn't wear hats on a regular basis.

Biebs but even whiter which is why I can't pull them off.  That hat he has on is a good example of what I was trying to get away from.  In the CB picture you can see how he tucks his ears inside too.
