    Can't make heads or tails of it. Too casual and too dressy all at once. Especially sockless, with the Allen Edmonds tasseled loafer.

    I wear a Brooklyn Dodgers cap only when canoeing or when I ride my bicycle on the Erie Canal towpath.

    I concede your point. It's even worse now with a four-inch long beard.

    I've been thinking this for a few years now. WTF is up with how kids today wear they ballcaps?

    The flat-as-a-dinner play brim is just a hideous look. When it makes a gunslinger like Colin Kaepernick look uncool, YOU KNOW it's uncool. Just hideous.

    I'll take the style from my mid/late-'90s youth (the brim curled up like a horseshoe) any day.

    WTF is up with how the kids wear their ballcaps? You know what I'm talking about: The hipster uniform headgear. How the brim lies flat as a dinner plate. Just hideous.

    I can only imagine what adults were saying when I was kid, when the curl-your-brim like-a-horsehose look was considered cool.

    I've always been partial to the backward cap, as homage to Junior (Griffey, not Earnhardt).

    Loved that show when I was a kid. But damn, what kind of drugs did the Krofft brothers do?

    It's not a Borsalino but I have one that looks very much like that

    Bought it in a cool men's store in a small town in Ontario. All wool, quilted on the inside and it has ear flaps for those cold winter days.

    I call it my "Metrosexual Mennonite Hat"

    Best thing: no fucking logo

    Cost $80.00

    IJAG, I know downtown Atlanta isn't like the rest of the South, but you realize outside of it you'd be hard pressed to find a guy NOT wearing cap!

    I'm a skin head (not Kojak; think first day of boot camp) and usually wear a cap this time of year when I'm outdoors and in early summer before I tan to keep from burning.

    I have a few that are in normal rotation: a Harley cap I keep in the bag on my bike and a school cap (both black and orange) and an NHRA gimme.

    I also do have an old work cap when I'm out on the farm and a straw hat I wear when mowing or at the beach.
