Gotta wear a porkpie tough... ya gotta own it... specially if you are used to wearing only fedora... porkpie is unique... unless of course you are Charles Mingus...
Then do it again and often. I don't think your missing anything here. As I said, try it with all your outfits and come to a decision and conclusion as to what ensemble (s) you most enjoy wearing it with.I'm sorry; I don't mean to be hard-headed or rude, but I don't understand what this means. I keep seeing it all over the web ("Gotta wear the hat, or it will wear you"), but what does it mean? Taken literally, I suppose it means I shouldn't borrow someone else's hat and then just carry it in my hands. But that's a ridiculous reading. Does it mean I should wear it with the utter confidence that it is the best looking thing I could ever wear? I already do that; I don't buy clothing I don't want to wear, and if my taste changes after I've bought it I get rid of it.
What am I missing here?

Bingo. It's all about confidence. If you act self-conscious because you're wearing a hat, the hat is wearing you. But if you put it on your head and forget about it as if you'd been doing it your entire life and it was just as much a part of you as your arms and legs, you're doing it right. It's not about an attitude as much as it is about a lack of attitude--I'm wearing a hat; so what?Wearing the hat and not letting it wear you just means being comfortable in wearing it. Not being self-conscious. "Owning" your look, so to speak.
If you're referring to me, I've been busy since the day before yesterday. If you're referring to T Rick, I have no idea.Where's the OP...?

Thank you everyone who answered my question about the navy hat and my confusion over the confident wearing of it. I'm going to get it, because I think it looks good and will go with a lot of things in my closet. Plus, I'm already known as the oddball in my small town, so a pork pie hat will go right along with that, I think.
Thanks again.
