How to tell if you’re a hat guy

I do have a felt hat for winter when I attend more formal functions during that season (e.g., funerals and graveside services).  In summers, I wear a broad-brimmed sun hat when staying outside for some time. Other than those, I don’t wear one regularly. 

If you have a huge melon and want to wear hats anyway. http://www.lamoodbighats.com/ The first hat I ordered was actually too big for me. Instead of sending it back I kept it just to prove it exists.

I don the flat cap for most occasions, and a medium brim fedora for suited up occasions (or if I feel like it). I also have a big Akubra that if I wear it with a check shirt with the sleeves rolled up and jeans, I get hell of looks from the ladies.

If you aren’t a hat guy and you want to be, just wear one. Soon the comments will stop as your friends get used to seeing you in it. All men are hat men if you do it right.

I applaud the Adjustment Bureau reference, I’ve been checking out Goorin.com a lot lately and may pull the trigger come the fall.

Jason; I was gonna check out your store last time I was in Boston on my buddy’s recommendation, but the JP just didn’t fit into my schedule. I’ll hit you up next time.

I also come from the land of one size does not fit all.

A fine looking store Jason, and the perspective is greatly appreciated.  That said, and I say this with all due respect, my Butcher also once told me that there’s not a person on the planet that doesn’t like meat

The flow chart had a lot of good one-liners, but I think “Is that a movie about chiropractors?” stole the show.

There is also Hats in the Belfry in Annapolis, MD

Get good hair. Much more impressive.

I would only wear a hat if I was in the London top hats social circle. Otherwise, I prefer nice hair. I think people look like they are trying to be trendy and make statements when they wear hats nowadays. It just isn’t commonly appropriate. There are few exceptions for me on this one. I don’t mind a guy who has a hat as he wonders the streets on a Bahamas vacation, but I don’t really like it when someone wears a hat to go to dinner with friends.

For most of my life I wasn’t a big fan of hats, but then I found a cool vintage trilby in a shop in Lincoln, NE and picked it up.  Too small, so it just perched on the top of my head for a month or two.  Last fall I ordered a nice simple flat cap for cooler weather, and a decent panama fedora for summer.  As someone that often works outside, it’s nice to keep a bit of sun off my face and neck.

I agree that it’s mostly about how you feel wearing a hat.  I often forget I’m wearing it, but always try to practice appropriate hat etiquette… take it off when sitting down to eat or otherwise, indoors at anything approaching a formal gathering, briefly when meeting someone, etc.   

Wait. I never seem to look like I look right under a hat. I got a small shaved head.
Anybody on the same boat and found something to work for them?

I have a huge head, stops there haha that was funny and true

Yep. Look a little bit cowboy. The ladies love it.

I find that most baseball caps dont fit my 7 3/4+ size head.  But that good quality sized hats fit me just fine and look great.  I don’t know where that whole “big head-no hat” thing comes from in the chart.

The chart is off. “Do you have a large head?” – Its enormous, then it should point to Lamood Big Hats not JFK and “Not a hat guy”. So even big heads can be a “hat guy”. I got a big head fedora at Lamoods and I am a huge hat guy (literally).
