I'm the opposite. I feel like I'm naked if I'm outside without a hat and everyone is judging me for it.

Hey guys, check out Mr. 1850s here!

If you don't know about the history of hats, it's surprisingly fascinating lol

You aren't fully dressed until you've got your hat. Send me back a century its difficult to find good quality hats these days and the sizes are more generic.

In my village we have a quality hat store. Most are handmade and >100€. I am not a hat person but if I wanted to become one, it would be a huge investment 😅

Oh lordy yes, I used to have a trilby that fitted me perfectly and got positive attention from the ladies, it was made in the '30s.

When it eventually wore out they were fashionable, so all the vintage ones were expensive, and all the new ones were rubbish.

I miss my trilby :-/

Especially uncomfortable when my hair is grown a little too much and haven't had the time to shave yet

I have long hair and thats half the reason i wear a hat. Keeps it under control and the wind pushing little strands around on top of my head and in my face really bothers me.

Interacting and shit!

I gotta plan for that, the rats nest of hat hair doesn't always win them over

That, plus I'd rather have hat hair all over my whole head than just one dent across the middle from my headphones.
