Hats: Modern Classics

[Servo2000]

Sort of an obtuse thread title. I figured this would be a decent place to post hats people like / want / have that aren't of the "SUPREME 5-Panel Box Cap" variety. Frankly, I don't know shit about hats, so I just grabbed some from some recent designers collections. Shitty photos, at that.

From newdandyism preview.

Dior Homme

Same hat, different colors. Left out "The Doherty" because I hate looking at his face.

CdG

For when you need a hat that fucking sparkles.

Lanvin

Costs about as much as a nice dinner might, except every day for like half a year.

This thread is also a very shallow excuse for someone to find me a goddamn hat. I fucking love that new dandyism one, just wish the brim was firmer.

I've got a couple of vintage Stetsons, my personal preference for fedoras, I'll post pics tommorrow. As for MODERN classics? The fitted baseball cap, of course.

What can I say, I have a penchant for obnoxious wordplay. Let's leave the fitteds out of this one, eh?

If I could pull off a fedora, I definitely would, but there's been something of a shitty-fedora renaissance here in So. Cal. It's painful, and I don't want to encourage anyone.

yeah servo, i seen it too. The weekly street fair in Ocean Beach has this stand that sells some pretty interesting looking fedoras but like you said everyone in so cal seems to have them.

I don't know how to wear a hat. I put it on my head, then my hair poofs out and my ears look silly. HOW DO I DO IT? HELP ME?

Cut off all your hair, that's what I'm doing:

I've always had longer hair, hats have never worked for me, either.

I don't know if you guys have noticed yet, but I like Raf Simons. I bet his hypothetical hats would be amazing.

Lock & Co. Hatters

Mostly classic fits, look like quality. Fairly pricey.

those are really nice, I like caddy hats alot, I'm really starting to fuckin despise baseball hats of any variety

[emaze]

Servo, I love StillLife... I've got 3 hats made by them. But I haven't been able to check out their store since they opened in the LES.

The hats pictured on the runway models don't impress me, they appear to be placeholders or a way of saying, he's wearing a hat. When I think of a hat, I'm not thinking 1920-30s when a man had to wear a hat, I think of Brad Pitt in Snatch. The Still Life NYC line is great and I'm sure I'll be adding one to my waredrobe soon.

[Servo2000]

I'm dissapointed in the lack of contributions to this thread.

[minya]

I think it's very difficult to wear a hat and look good doing it if you're under 40.

but if I were going to buy a hat, it'd be a Still Life.

The baseball cap is the source of casual cheapness and ugliness.

Another vote for StillLife here... I've got a wool Wetherby from a couple seasons back that has been my faithful companion 3 outta 4 seasons of the year... hope to get something lighter-weight for this summer from them. Might be a challenge, as I'm actually trying to grow my hair out. Also, I like too many different models...

I found this posted on The Sartorialist today to be a fairly classy way to wear a baseball cap.

I find the plain black cap works quite well in this look, and it certainly would not were it logoed in essentially any manner. Might have to try and find a plain black cap, now that I think about it.

even if i got a nice-looking hat like these, my head+hair is hella big. are there any companies that make hats for people who wear 7 3/4-7/8 ?
