Vision of the future?

[Snrbfshn]

In the latest edition of the Hat Life e-newsletter, there's a teasing piece about a clothes designer who has combined the look of a visor or ball cap with that of a fedora to create a new kind of dress hat. The designer wouldn't let Hat Life use a picture, but if you go it his incomplete website, there's this:

I can find no other information. Whaddaya think, will it catch on?

Pretty ugly to me. I don't care for the Half Breed Hats either.

No serious hat wearer would go for it. A hat is a hat period !!!

What Brad said. Very Legionnaire. All it needs is the neck flap.

 

[Matt Deckard]

The fool!

 

[KR]

Uhh..... no.

Ugly hat. I wouldn't wear it if someone paid me.

 

[DanielJones]

Gack!! No thanks...

It looks like an old style WAC military cover or an old style stewardess cap. They can't be serious. Not in this or any other lifetime would I defile my noggin with that.

Cheers!

If I wanted one like that, I'd get me a cuenca and a pair of scissors...

...but I'd have to be stinking drunk to go through with it.

However, I don't know that there's enough Wild Turkey in the world to get me to actually wear it.

Hi,
it isn't a bad hat,for me. It's a hat for the market, probably a lot of guys would wear it, for a period...until its fashion be alive.
Then, these guys will forget to wear an hat, they aren't hats lover,and everyone will forget it.
It might be only like a meteor!
Regards.

Riccardo.

Kind of goofy looking.

It will probably do about as well as the urban sombrero that Elaine came up with, for the Peterman catalog on Seinfeld.

Maybe Jerry could have worn it with "the puffy shirt".

 

[Uberneot]

Maybe it's a bit harsh but...bloody hideous...

 

[Quigley Brown]

But as soon as some rap performer (notice I didn't say 'artist') wears one...with the visor on the side or backwards...it will be a raging trend. Buy stock in that company now!

 

[riccardo]

mmm i'll post a pics of my two yorkshire in my hat...

 

[Mycroft]

....There goes my dinner. Why would anyone where that other than to satnd out in a crowd, but then no one really wears hats anymore (mainstream I mean)?

 

[jamespowers]

Hehehehehh! This guy is kidding right? A baseball cap with a crown block? Give me a break! What do designers do nowadays to think up new fashions? Get drunk for three days and then it comes to them? Please.

Regards to all,

I agree with that. But this hat makes me cry :cry: that someone wasted materials on it and then it makes me angry :rage: .
