I'm not concerned about others' opinions unless I've requested them (or deserved them 
).
I wear a hat regardless of popularity or acceptance, just like I wear boxer briefs without a second thought. I disapprove of most folks' outfits and attitudes, but I let them keep on anyway. I expect the same, and I ignore the loudmouths. [huh]

Those are my main reasons too.Mobile Vulgus said:Hell no. I am an attention seeker, anyway!! LOL.
Seriously, I think that many of us here (if I may be so bold) are into looking different than the other drones around us. We want our own style and don't want to be like everyone else. These days a fedora DEFINITELY makes you stick out.
Like I said, I don't think I am unusual here at all. I'd guess that most of us are like this to one degree or another.
So put on that fedora. Don't let 'em forget ya!!
I find that if I have a hat built that is not too eccentric or "fly in your face" that people will accept your attire as normal.
I would not wear an animal hat and not expect to get noticed in a negative way.
You can't please everyone, but you should at least please yourself.
I strive for quality, not flash. I like to blend in with the crowd while accenting myself just a bit. A hat is just the ticket. I strive for a hat that can be worn with jeans and a nice shirt, but also with a suit.
I also derive some courage to wear my hats because they are of good quality and craftsmanship, not $10 hats.

Careful ... there are still some great $10 hats out there. You just have to look harder to find them!

Great thread. I have yet to buy my hat, currently saving up for it (whatever it may be (it changes daily)), and it is great to see people being who they are.
