Ha, look how controversial baseball caps were 16 years ago!

Man, in 2005 I was all about the New Era fitteds. My goal was to have my closet look like this one day. Good thing I was poor.

I think it's down to context and personal preference. When I wear a baseball cap, I look like a bald man trying to hide the fact that he doesn't have any hair—despite the fact that I'm not bald. I have hair. Needless to say, caps are a no-go, unless I'm going to run for hours in direct sunlight; then I've got a trucker-style cap I can just about get away with.

But if you are a bald man trying to hide the fact that he doesn't have any hair, it might actually be a pretty good idea. I think as with anything else in fashion, before wearing what everyone else is wearing, it's good to stop and consider, "Does this make me look like an idiot?"

At the age of 40 I bought my first one during C19 lockdown because my wife didn't want me shaving my own head and I was sick of having the same haircut as my mum.

I only wear it outside when it's pissing down and I've got an hour of toddler-walking ahead of me. Under the hood of a rain jacket it's life changing. What's got two thumbs, a big smile and a dry face? This guy.

I also wear them in the summer. Half because it stops my bald head getting burnt, half because they look cool.

I'm sure the hiking shoe, combat trouser and Regatta fleece wearing VT fashion gurus will be along soon to tell me how stupid they look

Lockdown haircut means I've got little choice some days even though I don't like them

I actually need a new one to increase my colour range

Problem is I only like the new era 39thirty, that's the one with no clip or gap at the back, they're really good quality too to be fair to NE

in the UK, baseball caps are for words removed.

 

It's like US citizens wearing cricket helmets - stupid

 

It's Chav culture and I **** hate it

Yikes!

I'm currently sporting my Boston Red Sox cap to hide my completely overgrown lockdown barnet.

Is there a good way to get rid of sweat marks on baseball caps? Has anyone figured out how to do it? Google seems to give plenty of advice, none of it any good.

I think Prince Andrew has some useful tips.

The Merrell and Craghopper crew are being remarkably controlled so far. @Bickster to the thread please!

Did you see the stylish kids in the riot

We were shovelled up like muck

Set the night on fire

Wombles bleed truncheons and shields

You know I cherish you my love

 

But there's a rumour spread nasty disease around town

Caught round the houses with your trousers down

A headrush in the bush

You know I cherish you my love

How i cherish you my love

 

What can you want now you've got it all

The whole scene is obscene

Time will strip it away

A year and a day

And Bill Bones

Bill Bones he knows what I mean

 

Yes it's eating no it's chewing me up

It's not right for young lungs to be coughing up blood

Oh it's all

It's all trouble in my hands

And its all up the walls

 

Well the stale chips are up and the hopes stakes are down

Its these ignorant faces that bring this town down

Yeah I sighed and sunken with pride

I passed myself down on my knees

Yes I passed myself down on my knees

 

What can you want now you've got it all

The whole scene is obscene

Time will strip it away

A year and a day

And Bill Bones

Bill Bones knows what I really mean

 

There are fewer more distressing sights than that

Of an Englishman in a baseball cap

Yeah we'll die in the class we were born

That's a class of our own my love

Were in a class of our own my love

 

Did you see the stylish kids in the riot

We were shovelled up like muck

Then set the night on fire

Wombles bleed truncheons and shields

You know I cherish you my love

Oh how I cherish you my love.

 

 

The first thing that came to my head when I saw this thread (I've never seen it before), was this song. 

Have to wear a baseball style bump cap for work and I bloody hate it. Never, ever wear one away from that. Not even on the golf course, wear they seem rife.
