Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

“You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

I've lived by this quote most of my adult life, but that's actually the first time I've ever heard it, lol.

I’ve always loved hats.

The cap in my avatar pic is the one I wear every day.

Have you also practiced stringing together $10 words into semi-nonsensical word salad?

Well, he is a lawyer or something like that, right?

Finally receiving a Kickstarter that is somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 years late is a heck of a way to gift future you a surprise present. Thanks past me!

The trick is figuring out what looks good for you. Actually, that’s the second trick. The first trick is finding a place to try out different looks.

Because I’ll let you know, there’s definitely some hat styles I’d LOVE to try out but strongly suspect they’d make me look funny (boleros and campaign/“lemon squeezer” hats), and others that I already know look better on people who don’t look like me (stingy-brim fedoras, trilbys, etc.)

This guy made my blue felt fedora, and also makes boleros & campaign hats…

Even some of the flat cap styles won’t work as well for me. This one has kind of a 1940s-50s motorcycle cop style to it, and it’s…a challenging wear.

And the 1920-30s style ones that are very broad and sometimes featuring intricately folded fabric, like those made by this dude who works with period patterns & cloth.

(I swear I’m going to get some of these anyway…eventually.)

A fellow enthusiast of the flat cap, I see! I would doff my cap to you!... but I prefer not to take it off...

(Disclaimer: That photo is from very, very, VERY long ago...)

Did Marcus Aurelius really say "worked up"?

I mean, he said "excitatus" if I'm not mistaken. So... could be a number of things, but "worked up" certainly fits

As a $325 backer of the failed Masks of Nyarlathotep Prop Set kickstarter back in 2016, I salute your luck!

Holy crap, I just realized that KS was 10 years past due this January!

I've made a few leather flat caps for friends but I'm more of a wide brim guy, myself. If I'm not wearing my Tilley, then it's likely something in leather that I've made myself.

I went in for about $175 on the Fairy Tales Battle Royale miniatures KS, and after all the crap that went on with that, they apparently didn't even have a record of my pledge...

My jealousy knows no bounds. I’ve just started dabbling in some hats but I don’t always feel they fit me right or I look good with them. I’m trying to just push through that because damn, I just love the way they look. They make the outfit sometimes.

I relate to this, I like them (and I'm bald now) but I've got too much millennial angst about hats. If I put anything besides a baseball cap on, I just flash back to the guys who walked around wearing the cargo short/graphic t/trilby combo and take it off.

I wear trucker hats, and knit caps mostly when I wear a hat. I used to have a straw cowboy hat growing up as a kid in Texas, got in Eagle Pass. Lost along the way, dirty old thing, I miss it.
