I’ve been wearing something that looks very much like this for many years – and well before Peaky Blinders was born. It doesn’t have razor blades in the peak and my trousers are not ‘half mast’
I was going to buy one similar to that from Debenhams but they sold out so never get to wear one. It’s for winter only. 😀
In a bar with colleagues tonight. Two dicks thought they were the stars of Peaky **** Blinders. Looked like divs. By all means wear a flat cap but not in a late license bar in a large city. Very efforty…
OH has a couple of flat caps, one Harris tweed flat cap and something else. He rocks them rather well. He enjoys a baseball cap too, but they’re all pretty old and beaten up and way nicer than those stupid flat peak, pulled down over the lugs, chump lids the kids are wearing nowadays. Goodness me, I’m old…
I have a variety of beanies as they can easily be stuffed into a jaikit pocket when inside (and therefore not forgotten/lost).
In the summer I wear a baseball cap of some sort. Usually Animal as I quite like their shape. Which I need to stuff down the arm of my jaikit when inside to avoid leaving it… 😳
But then again I’m an al’ mannie wi nae hair who burns in the sun so needs protection from both extremes…
I like that Perchypanther, in order to make a point, uses an image of someone that’d look cool even if he was wearing nothing but a lump of festering dogshit on his head.
In a snap poll taken a couple of weeks back at a KTR night out in Newcastle ( Ed Banger & The Nosebleeds/ Nikk Gig ) it was found that only 1in8 of our group wore any head gear ..admittedly a flat cap, his whippet out of sight under the table and his pigeon fanciers news tucked away in his back pocket … he is also the only non mountainbiker pictured 😉
I’ve had many hats but I am perhaps best known for my bowler.
In spite of the OP, aerodynamically it is incredibly stable so quite suitable for cycling.

Not true. Even Brad looks like a dick in one of these…..
Most of the time I wear a six-panel duckbill cloth cap, somewhat like Brad’s wearing in the first pic, if cold any one of a large-ish collection of knitted beanies, and if it’s wet and cold, either my waxed cotton Tilley hat, or Canadian Winter Tilley, which is wool, with neat little flaps that fold down to keep the ears and forehead warm.
My favourite duckbill I bought from a market stall selling hats at the local folk festival around six years ago, plain black cotton, and just really comfy to wear. It’s now a sort of mid grey, and holes are starting to appear along seams, so I’ve found several almost identical replacements ready for the day it falls apart.
Looks like this one:
I have a black bunnet with ear flaps that can be folded down for everyday use ( sound as a bunnet – with the ear flaps folded down very practical but you look like a pervert), I have a fedora for going out and I have a panama for whan its sunny. I also have a clooection of mountaineering hats ie fleecy things
But I also have luxuriant locks so only need a hat for warmth when I cut my hair very short
Of course there is this – very warm hat – its was somewhat cold that day [url=https://flic.kr/p/21DYGfJ]11224714_10152851261858388_6866801339639029809_n[/url] by TandemJeremy, on Flickr
