Men’s fashion is dreadfully boring, but one thing we used to have was a profusion and proliferation of different hats we could wear.

I know the m’lady meme and mall ninjas have forever cursed the fedora (as well as the actually, that’s a trilby crowd), but those memes postdate the decline of the hat by several decades.

Currently, we only have baseball caps and beanies in common circulation, with impractical-for-sidewalk-use cowboy hats being the only extant outlier.

Does anyone long for the return of the hat and/or have any insight into what caused their decline?

      I wore these as my main winter hat for the longest time but had to switch to beanies when I worked in the trades. Now I’m struggling to justify the cost since I spend a lot less time outdoors in the winter…

      But man, I love these hats.
