Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Saracenus]

So I am cleaning up my bookmarks (some of which date from the early '00); its like opening a box of chocolates, you don't know what virus warning you are going to get. Even more fun is clicking on seankreynolds.com and being redirected to a chiropractic practice website . Evidently, Sean is the biggest chiropractor in PA... <face palm>. Note, he isn't part of that website at all.

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 always swore that I would shave my head if I ever started going bald and ended up doing it in my mid-30s, before it actually kicked in. Wearing a hat is a necessity because it's either that, or using SPF110 every day. OK, I sometimes do both.

I think that everyone has a hat style that will suit them and it's just a matter of finding yours. I long ago gave up on baseball/trucker hats. These are just a few of mine. Not shown are the wide brimmed leather hat from the previous pictures a black pig suede Flat Cap similar to the one that my friend Matt is wearing in those previous pics, a distressed red leather Top Hat, and a grey and black checkered Deerstalker.

Well, deleting this one kind of made me sad... webpages.charter.net/ericnoah/noahrpg/

The big floppy hats are probably a large part of how we managed to spend a week walking around Big Bend NP without getting horribly sunburned. (We also had good sunblock.)

My current hat is a shapeless, faded blue bucket hat with a wide-ish brim and a hole in side. It keeps the sun off my neck and out of my eyes. I've had it for seven years, which is the longest I've managed to hang on to a hat. When i was younger, they tended to go missing on travels, presumably to go live more interesting lives.

This just gave me a flashback to the first time I got a sunburn on the now bare top of my head...that was a bad weekend. You've got a nice collection of hats.

Ah, this is how I discovered that I didn't have a bald spot but, rather, hairy spots and nowhere near sufficient of those.

Spoiler: Hats!

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...)

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.

Some nice looking headgear!

Like I was saying, I mostly stopped buying baseball caps after I reached a certain age. 35 maybe? That’s when I started buying flat caps, fedoras and panamas. Right now, I have 2 panamas, 3 fedoras and at least a couple dozen flat caps.

The flat caps are from a bunch of makers (but mostly Kangol) and are of a variety of fabrics. The fall/winter ones are almost all wool, while the spring/summer ones are polyester, poly blends, linen, silk and cotton. Two I wear year round are leather.

I also have one floppy, broad brim hat.

For some reason, knit caps don’t appeal to me- at least, not as something I would wear.

I need to do that again one of these days - it's been a while.

My general procedure is that, if I haven't clicked it in the last two years or more, or can't remember what the hell the link was for, I delete it...
Although... I do have a bunch of links in my favorites list to long-gone pages and sites that are only still there out of nostalgia/fond memories.
