Stealth Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Cmon Basschat its getting cold get them beanies in the shop before our bonces freeze. Quote
Kirky Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 I heartily recommend Marks and Spencers' range of flat caps. Always on stock, and always stylish. Quote
Earbrass Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 but do they sell the matching whippets? Quote
CamdenRob Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) I'm unable to wear a flatcap... I'm not old enough or northern so can't get away with it as genuine headware... If I was to wear one I'd look like I was trying to be one of those guys from shoreditch with tight jeans and pointy shoes... Edited October 17, 2014 by CamdenRob Quote
jmchich Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 The issue is it's difficult to find a piece of clothing that hasn't been "hipsterised" now. I get people assuming my beard is a fashion statement as opposed to a hatred of shaving... Quote
fumps Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 I'm northern & often wear a bowler hat at festivals. thinking of getting a top hat next Quote
allighatt0r Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 During OldGit's ancient hat thread, this website came up. It's a good'un. http://www.hatsandcaps.co.uk/ Quote

No bowlers or top hats around brick lane on a friday night, everyone wears a flat cap to indicate their individuality and nonconformity... Edited October 17, 2014 by CamdenRob Quote
CamdenRob Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Although i did sell a bass a while ago to a guy off gumtree who turned up in a purple velvet top hat..... Quote
BILL POSTERS Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) I wouldnt be happy wearing a flat cap. First because my old man wore one every day of his life and it would feel like taking the piss. And also, for some reason they usually look a bit camp nowadays. Trilby or a pork pie every time for me. Edited October 17, 2014 by BILL POSTERS Quote
Johnm93 Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Wot no titfers? Um, didn't 'we' had any... Still, let us know when we do... Quote
Big_Stu Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 I saw a guy in the street the other day wearing an American Civil War soldier's "forage" cap. Didn't have the badge on top though. Quote

ped Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 I can get our embroiderer to do hats, but it would take a minimum order to get the ball rolling. I'll speak to him and confirm prices etc - in the meantime, how about a show of hands of those who would like one? Cheers ped Quote

Meanwhile... [attachment=174162:Show_Hand.jpg] One for me, please; any colour, any size, as long as it's warm (winter draws on... ). Edited October 19, 2014 by Dad3353 Quote
ahpook Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Being concerned about [i]not[/i] looking like a 'hipster' or being trendy is just as bad as following a trend - you're letting what you think other people will think about you dictate what you wear. Wear what you like...it's just a hat, unless [i]you[/i] invest it with more meaning... Edited October 19, 2014 by ahpook Quote

[/quote] Well I wear what I feel both behooves me and isn't too much hassle - what people think? at an interview or something like that, sure I'll try to impress - otherwise I couldn't care less... It is just a hat. A wonderful item for sun, rain, or snow. Especially freezing rain and hail now that I think of it. But not always the same type! Something with a nice broad brim is perfect: etc. Quote
Subbeh Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Not normally a hat person but I'd definitley get me a nice BC one. Quote

[/quote] Me too! Mine is an Australian bushmans hat and it does for all weathers: http://www.bushgear.co.uk/index.php/default/hats-and-headwear.html I don't wear it for gigging though, maybe I should and then stick some corks round it and include "Horse With No Name" in the set. Perfect. Quote
TheGreek Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Put me down for a white one...possibly a black one too Quote
