Did your dad ever wear a hat when he went outdoors.?

I think that custom ended in my generation (I’m 78).

My father got me into wearing a hat. Now I wear one everywhere I go. My dad had all kinds of hats…fedoras, Coassack hats, boonie hats, baseball caps, just a lot.

He wore an old ball cap. Maybe it was a truckers hat. My roommate wears a hat.

Oh yeah. My dad is very casual, but he typically wears a baseball style cap if it’s sunny out.

My dad was bald and never wore a hat. He is very down to earth.

I used to wear fedoras a lot but I didn’t want people thinking I was a gangster. Plus a lot of hipsters started wearing them.

Gosh, I didn’t know gangsters and fedoras were connected. I hope my dad wasn’t one.

When I was in the Marines we had to always wear a hat outside. We called it a cover. I was in the Navy and the Marine Corps for over 26 years. When I was in the Navy we even had to wear a ball cap inside the ship all the time.

I hate hats. Someone asked me what I was going to do when I got out the Marines once and I just told them I was going to get a job where I didn’t have to wear a hat.

Oh I doubt your father was a gangster, I’m sorry if I triggered you.

It’s just out here in KC most people who dress up nice in suits and fedoras are probably connected.

No need to apologize, @Montezuma If the shoe fits, wear it. It just opened up my mind to myself and my family in one more way.
