Should I buy this hat

[Obs]

http://www.hatsandcaps.co.uk/Borsalino-Leather-Flat-Cap-P160046/

I just want a yes or no answer. But if you have ideas for what could go well with it, that's cool, too.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Only if you want to look like an Irish detective.

[Il Medico]

No. Its 97 bloody pounds. Thats like an almost $160 hat, fuck that. You can find one way cheaper. shop around.

[Tablo]

No, just no.

[Magón]

What is with people nowadays and those hats? I see people wearing them all the time.

[Omi]

Looks like the hat your avarage alcoholic hobo would wear, but for a ridiculous amount of money. Go for it.:cool:

[Sasha]

only if your an 50+ scruffy prole as fuck cabdriver or docker (i imagine devrim is the only person on this board who could wear something like that), if your anything remotely hipster you need to be put down for the sake of humanity.

if you go leather i advise you something more like this:

I'd go with no because it's hella expensive and also leather.

I have a hat like that. But I lost it and when i bought a new one, i grabbed the wrong size so it doesn't fit. Mine isn't leather though.

no

maybe if it wasn't leather and black...

you see, that makes all the difrence, when i was still an skinhead (and a bit of an plastic paddy) i would wear an scally cap quite a lot too. but in leather? you really need to be overweight, have an mis matching leather jacket and an fat golden chain and look like you might have an shotgung in your trunk

[Ele'ill]

Or steam punk goggles with high cheek bones.

:lol: This. I own two similar hats (this one (http://www.flcrooks.com/menskangolcarrimaccap-camel.aspx) in dark brown and this one (http://www.kangolstore.com/p/216960/Tropic-504-Ventair.aspx) in black), but neither are leather. Unless you're a biker or one of The Village People there's absolutely no reason ever to wear a leather hat... Like ever.

instead, you should get this (http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=20272092&navAction=jump&isProduct=true&parentid=MORE%20IDEAS&isProduct=true&cross-sell=true&guide-bn=true) or this (http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=20818886&navAction=jump&isProduct=true&parentid=MORE%20IDEAS&isProduct=true&cross-sell=true&guide-bn=true). imo.

This first one is pretty much mine exactly (well different color but same material from the looks of it)

[Blackscare]

call me old fashioned, but this variation looks better to me. I just don't like leather, though

[KC]

It's hideous.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Jesus Christ, 97 pounds? NO!

fuck high-fashion, buy it cheap like the prole you are!

Everyone in this thread was so rude about his hat! :crying:

You can wear it during the two week winters we have down here. But you live a bit farther north, you you might be able to rock it for 3-4 weeks! :w00t:

[Tablo]

Crazy Florida people. We get plenty of cold weather in Alabama.

Its was the same in Georgia. Though I always imagined Louisiana to be similar climate wise to Florida, seeing as both are basically very large swamps.

You can see people with those types of hats on nearly year rounds here in California. Doesn't matter if it's North or South Cal, they'll still wear it.

[Aloysius]

Get a top hat.

[gorillafuck]

No.

[Kuppo Shakur]

Get a top hat.
And a monocle.
And a factory.

[Os Cangaceiros]

and proles

[RedStarOverChina]

My hat cost $2 and it's probably more socially acceptable too.

[Lyev]

Does even LG pull it off?

This is the longest discussion about a hat I've seen... Ever.

You know, with warm weather on the way, you should pick yourself up one of these bad boys:

In the summer, Straw Fedora's and Cuban Fedoras are the shit. Cool both temperature wise and style wise.
:cool:

Nothing wrong with spending that much on a hat.

[Quail]

I have no idea why anyone would wear a leather hat, ever.

OP: Don't do it! There are far better uses for £97!

[Obs]

Straw Fedora's
You have terrible taste. This is coming from the guy who wants to buy a leather cap.

[Il Medico]

People who read Twilight always tell me how much of a bore Wilde is. Those adore Billy Joel always ridicule Chopin. It is natural for those with no taste to attack finer things.




:p


In all seriousness though, Cuban Fedoras are wonderful summer hats, don't hate.

(plus my fedora cost me $10, not $160)

[Lyev]

lol who says peng stillIn this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiiqqBw47HU it looks like a snapback, I dunno, I'm no hat expert, looks peng though.

[Taikand]

It reminds me of Stalinist-period fashion in my country...

...damn, can't find any images.

[Ms. Max]

I like it, but too expensive.

[Le Libérer]

Its was the same in Georgia. Though I always imagined Louisiana to be similar climate wise to Florida, seeing as both are basically very large swamps.

I prob can rock it a total of a month here. But it will be a very happy month and should last until I retire. :D

Are you an exotic dancer? If yes, then get the hat, but make sure you get a good pair of clear heels to go with it. Otherwise, no.

As I said, Batman villain, however an exotic dancer sidekick might be interesting. At the very least she could distract Bats while I run into the bank vault
