hats on...

[grumpybaldy]

With the weather changing, the twin aims of, first, keeping warm with no top-cover (the clue's in the name) when smoking outside and, second, embarrassing my kids (!) led me to buy this - great success on both counts! Made me wonder what idiosyncratic headgear others adopt for these colder, shorter-cigar evenings...? Or am I the only wuss here?

Handy if a bit thin on top.

Being "follicly challenged" myself and entering into my first winter of al fresco cigar smoking I have nothing to offer yet however will follow this thread with interest to see the solutions that the more experienced have found!! The ears may still be a challenge though, a nice pair of fluffy ear muffs may finish the ensemble off nicely...........is that a step to far?
I can safely say though that I think you have fulfilled your second aim admirably, hats off to you !

Get off my lawn!

I submit that you are NOT a wuss if you are willing to wear this thing in public (funny how one looses self-awarenss as one grows older). And no doubt your grandchildren will surely disown you when you do.

As far as headgear for cold nights, I prefer the hoodie.

Nice pick up, grumpybaldy!

Kev - you're right: the fluffy ear muffs are probably a step too far -unless they're in tweed! Better (if you've got the nerve) would be this - protection for the ears and, under the brim, for any cigar up to a petit robusto (see pic). Chris

I'm not a hat person but I bought this baseball cap to shade my slowly enlarging forehead from the sun

My local has heat lamps under cover in the beer garden which is ideal.

Petit corona - at least - safe from the rain under that peak I reckon. What we need's a Stetson...anyone?

[ValeTudoGuy]

The only hat that looks right on me is the Beanie, I wish Flat Cap's, Homburg's and Bowler's did.

As you may have seen in my various photos, I'm partial to top cover.

Mostly I wear a soft felt Stetson (the make, not the shape), as it's warm, shady and waterproof. But for fancier gettup, I have a nice Fedora, which goes well with a navy overcoat. If it gets really (really) cold, I have an Ushanka I traded a camera lens for in Russia. It's too warm for almost all weather but snow, and needs confidence I don't always have!

Cigars are vegetarian, we should all remember that. We're *being* healthy!

Cap man myself , of which I have many and generally wear all year round, cashmere, wool and tweed for winter, linen and cotton for summer
You wanna get ahead, get a hat!
And the man who says hats don't suit me, as tj coro said it all comes with maturity and being less self conscious.

Have to agree with you there oskihen used to think the same ,then the older we get we think differently.

I have lots of baseball caps and woolie hats , but in the colder months I retreat to my man cave and sit by the fire, so no hat there.

Good thread

I've about eight baseball caps, two ascot caps, a tweed flat cap, a few woolies (beanie type), faux leather flat cap (with pull down neck and ear muff) an old camo hat with pull down ear bits and a skull cap. I think that's about them all.

I like caps
