When are you too old to still wear a baseball cap?

Ive never seen anyone <14 wearing a baseball cap here in the UK.
Have you?

Really no age limit but choose the hat/cap wisely as shown by…

the stath…..

then proving all hats are not made equal

😀
I’ve got the sealskinz waterproof cap too but that is for the wet days. Might wear my Aussie bush hat more .

Vondally, thats what I said you need a good jaw 😀

I’m 38

I wear a baseball cap

I wear it backwards

However, as one of my favourite quotes goes,

“There’s 2 types of people who wear their hats backwards, welders and assholes”

I don’t know what logo is on my cap…however the fact you’re specific about having a garmin/sky one.suggests an element of poser in you.

I wouldn’t wear one any more if i were you. Try a cravat and beanie, flat cap and neckerchief, bowler and bow etc.

Depends who you are:-

Mark Ruffalo – can’t help being cool, and he’s a yank which makes it better.

William Hague – not so much

Looking stylish is largely down to feeling comfortable and self confident, and I don’t think there’s an App for that…..

I wear hats alot….. Comes from having had fairly long hair from 13 -22

Couldnt give a rats ass what folk think. Im not out on the pull.

My padded checked shirt, manky jeans and tan rigger boots i mostly wear off the bike is probably offensive than the hat de jour! The pikey look.

Mrs t-r only requests i make an effort when we go out into town or out with friends.

My favorite hat is a waxed drovers hat but mostly if im out in the garage/garden its an employers branded one because it was free and is covered in oul.

Don’t understand. I too had long hair at about that age but didn’t wear a hat. What did I miss out on?

…is covered in oul.

Was that supposed to be oil or owl?

Kept my hair out my face.

And its obviously owl. I cover my hat in owl ….

If it’s good enough for Niki Lauda it’s good enough for me.

Plus as a baldy who has no desire for skin cancer on my scalp I wear various hats caps and coverings regardless of whether I look a twunt in then or not…

^ this.

Not one f### is given about what anybody thinks. 🙂

Had to yesterday as shaved head started to burn during bike building.

A decent fitted proper Flexifit hat should look ok. The one Wiliam Hague is wearing is one of those slightly too small one size fits all cheap ones, always looks naff.

Global evidence of men of all ages wearing baseball caps (some unto the grave) makes nonsense of your question.

Maybe you could ask:

‘How much should I care about what other people wear?’

or

‘When I dress, who do I want to impress?’

It certainly can’t be everyone, as opinions vary wildly. If you are really pushed for self-confidence, slap a cap on and then ask the one person in your life that you wish to impress most: ‘This hat, yes or no?’

And it must be worded exactly like that. Asking ‘do you like me in this hat?’ is far too ambiguous. Loaded, even.

And beware fashionistas who bitch about other people’s looks and recommend their own. They are the Nationalists of the clothing world.

Really comfy, and I don’t look a tit wearing them.

I’m sure you don’t.

You’re never too old…

LOL, I was just about to say I often wear a Red Sox cap ! Also a Padres one. Both are fitted ones as I have a massive bonce and the one-size-fits-all ones never do.

My age begins with a “4”. I also regularly wear baggy combats and checked shirt. Don’t care.

Cameron McNeish, silver capper. Some folks have just got it.

TBH I thought they were for kids an baldies 🙂

the age when you are too old to wear one seems to coincide with the age that you don’t give a toss what other people think

TBH I thought they were for kids an baldies

I’m immature and ‘no guard’ so I’m ok.

Ooo, get you! S’up, burn the toast this morning, or run out of milk for your cornflakes?
🙄

I’m sure you don’t.

I think that must’ve been a typo.

“I’m sure you don’t care” was obviously what he meant to type.

(-:

I don’t think there is really a cut off age, not for normal baseball caps.

I have a few made by outdoor brands like The North Face, my teenage daughter says they look fine, so I am happy to go with that.

My Dad’s nearly 80 and he wears one to keep the sun off, as with the picture of Cameron McNeish above, why not?

I could never imagine me getting away with a big cap with a flat peak at any age though.

I wear one for running, and have a wide brimmed Tilley for walking etc. I probably look a ****, but as I’m no longer a teenager on the pull I don’t need to worry about that 🙂

Now some of you might not agree with me, but Cameron’s is not a baseball cap. Bruce’s is.

So when does a baseball cap become a trucker cap?

I’m nearly fifty, wear one when it’s raining to keep the water off my glasses. They’re useful, so I’ll wear one.

Don’t like it? Here’s my arse right here. Bite me.

When you’ve discovered Tilley, of course. Not worn a baseball cap since my Tilley micro fibre. And not all caps are created equal. Never liked the high-domed ones shown above, but nothing wrong with a low, close-fitting cap.

But seriously, get a Tilley.

my old man turned 80 last month and he wears his everytime he goes out the door.. mere pip squeak me at 52 but wear one most days though i do look like some one from deliverance..

just for some clarification here is filip polc sporting enduro hat style in a manner that grown men who are not paid to wear said cap should not wear their cap 😉

reminds me of a sketch with demetri martin.

Firstly 40 is not old, it’s barely grown up. Secondly what’s age got to do with hats. Lastly does every decision now need validation from the web?
