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?
Oh, yes, we also have hoodies, but it drives me absolutely crazy how useless cotton is in the rain and the cold.
I have a waterproof hoodie that looks like cotton. Unfortunately it doesn’t breathe or stretch like cotton, and most importantly the hood doesn’t stand up enough to keep the rain off
