It's like a cuddle for yer napper.

One of these...

Have a couple of Harris Tweed ones and a natty waxed cotton number.

At what age is it acceptable to wear a flat cap? Beanie or nothing for me but have been considering a flat cap. Just not sure I'd pull it off.

Who cares?
It keeps my head warm and breaks up the unrelenting tedium of my face.

At what age is it acceptable to wear a flat cap?

When you're too old for a baseball cap. They're like more comfortable baseball caps for grown ups.

Yeah, i thought about flat caps....not sure they'd be great with a round face shape though. Will have to try some on. Also thinking about

this kind of thing, which is [i]slightly[/i] more grown up than a baseball cap. Or a waxed cotton baseball cap which I feel has a slightly wider demographic

Your thinking about it way to much.
🙂

You want one.
Get one.
They're great.

No one stylin’ the Kangol beret like Samuel L?

these are good.if you are not ready for tweed.

Good Lord no, unless you're a colonial or really rate William Hague's wardrobe.
🙂

Just get a proper flat cap and be done with it.

I forgive you.

See how nice us cap wearers are, even to scum like you.

😀

I used to vaguely read and try and understand your stuff. But now you've admitted you wear a flat cap, I don't need to try any more. You're dead to me.

😐

You need some less aggressive headgear.

Dem beanies is messing wiv your head bro.

Did someone say something?

flat cap. darcy, stick to flooring. flat caps are warm, hard wearing, comfy, smart, casual, country, urban...a cap of many colours. Beanie? really? pfff.

As a man of ....thinning head fluff, I need a cap in the winter, a have at least 4 flat caps.

YOUR HATS OVER YOUR EARS GRANDDAD.

We'll get you a new one for Christmas.

Cotic beanie is quite light and perfect for autumn amd spring
As above Barbour cap.
I have dozens of sailing caps too inc some in a waterproof material - more oractical than an umberalle

I've been wearing flat caps since I was 18.

Not everyday of course, but when your'e standing on Seaham North pier in the pissy wet rain in December, this fleece lined ugly mo-fo is the dogs.

Otherwise, a beanie or a BB cap.

Various Failsworth flat caps in Harris tweed, corduroy. plus a few by Cheaney in moleskin and tweed, current favourite is a narrow snap brim fedora (more of a trilby) by Stetson in houndstooth wool.
Been eyeing up narrow brim fedoras by LaRose and Borsalino, nice but a bit £££'s

Monmouth cap, it was the law

I've found Village hats to be good on service and price, plus a good selection.

I fancy something new...a newsboy cap maybe...but I know my OH doesn't like the style.

Walz Caps VeloCity. Like a cycling cap, but a bit smarter and subtle colours. It is fairly thick cotton, quite warm. https://www.walzcaps.com/collections/the-velo-citi-collection

Jes Suis Napoleon!

I thought flat caps were only worn by old blokes in NE England!Can't believe it's a national trend.Nobody has suggested just putting your hood up.Or even better,hood up.with beanie underneath.

I've been wearing something that looks very much like this for many years - and well before Peaky Blinders was born. It doesn't have razor blades in the peak and my trousers are not 'half mast'

As I read that, I thought it was going to say 'Brian Johnson from Test Match Special'.

It keeps my head warm and hides my thinning scalp - so all good

that's a newsboy cap, I like it

I was going to buy one similar to that from Debenhams but they sold out so never get to wear one. It's for winter only. 😀

Well, I am effortlessly cool as f***.

Don't copy me.

In a bar with colleagues tonight. Two dicks thought they were the stars of Peaky ****ing Blinders. Looked like divs. By all means wear a flat cap but not in a late license bar in a large city. Very efforty...

Whatever I'm wearing on me bonce, I pair mine up with a pair of headphones to keep my ears warm/ stop it getting blown off.

These are great for this time of year.

You'll only look like Elmer Fudd if you go for the check pattern.

Used to wear a flat cap or something like that newsboy cap from Muji, dunno where they all went though. Couldn't find them after we moved house.

Now just wear one of my many woolly hats in the cold, baseball caps in milder weather.

Lowe Alpine mountain cap if its raining.

OH has a couple of flat caps, one Harris tweed flat cap and something else. He rocks them rather well. He enjoys a baseball cap too, but they're all pretty old and beaten up and way nicer than those stupid flat peak, pulled down over the lugs, chump lids the kids are wearing nowadays. Goodness me, I'm old...

I have a variety of beanies as they can easily be stuffed into a jaikit pocket when inside (and therefore not forgotten/lost).

In the summer I wear a baseball cap of some sort. Usually Animal as I quite like their shape. Which I need to stuff down the arm of my jaikit when inside to avoid leaving it... 😳

But then again I'm an al' mannie wi nae hair who burns in the sun so needs protection from both extremes...

Flat Caps eh, well at least you are easy to spot.

I like that Perchypanther, in order to make a point, uses an image of someone that'd look cool even if he was wearing nothing but a lump of festering dogshit on his head.

🙂

A good beanie, woolly bucket hat or military cap are my choices

In a snap poll taken a couple of weeks back at a KTR night out in Newcastle ( Ed Banger & The Nosebleeds/ Nikk Gig ) it was found that only 1in8 of our group wore any head gear ..admittedly a flat cap, his whippet out of sight under the table and his pigeon fanciers news tucked away in his back pocket ... he is also the only non mountainbiker pictured 😉

I've had many hats but I am perhaps best known for my bowler.
In spite of the OP, aerodynamically it is incredibly stable so quite suitable for cycling.

Not true. Even Brad looks like a dick in one of these.....

Wearing hats indoors? 😐

Hand-knitted by Scottish grannies, and what’s oresently keeping my big bald bowling ball of a bonce all toasty 🙂

I wear a quality cadet cap from Village hats.

I look as sexy as hell in it.

Not true. Even Brad looks like a dick in one of these.....

Nope - still cooler than you look in your flat cap, though he's pushing it a bit with that shirt.

Most of the time I wear a six-panel duckbill cloth cap, somewhat like Brad’s wearing in the first pic, if cold any one of a large-ish collection of knitted beanies, and if it’s wet and cold, either my waxed cotton Tilley hat, or Canadian Winter Tilley, which is wool, with neat little flaps that fold down to keep the ears and forehead warm.
My favourite duckbill I bought from a market stall selling hats at the local folk festival around six years ago, plain black cotton, and just really comfy to wear. It’s now a sort of mid grey, and holes are starting to appear along seams, so I’ve found several almost identical replacements ready for the day it falls apart.
Looks like this one:

I have a black bunnet with ear flaps that can be folded down for everyday use ( sound as a bunnet - with the ear flaps folded down very practical but you look like a pervert), I have a fedora for going out and I have a panama for whan its sunny. I also have a clooection of mountaineering hats ie fleecy things

But I also have luxuriant locks so only need a hat for warmth when I cut my hair very short

Bunnet is one of these - I am sure you all know what a fedora and a Panama are

Of course there is this - very warm hat - its was somewhat cold that day

Heh

You look like a ****ing gnome...!

Hovering around zero. Smart wool Bernie

Hovering around -6 thinsulate insulated tradesmans "Tammie"with obligatory rolled up sides ala burglar.

Warmer times un or very lightly branded baseball/truckers caps. Being of longer hair as oppose the no hair camp

I've just remember OH has a Smirnoff branded faux fur Russian hat thing as well, which he also manages to pull off, annoyingly 😡

An Ushanka is a difficult look to pull off.

I have a russian made, rabbit fur ushanka and I spectacularly fail to look cool in it.

Fortunately I don't give a shit.

It is, however, so warm that I can only wear it when the temperature falls to polar extremes.

No one stylin’ the Kangol beret like Samuel L?

I have wondered the same thing. Because frankly, it looks kinda cool.

And I always like whatever it is that Bono is wearing on his head in the Unforgettable Fire period:
