I'm the opposite. I feel like I'm naked if I'm outside without a hat and everyone is judging me for it.

Hey guys, check out Mr. 1850s here!

If you don't know about the history of hats, it's surprisingly fascinating lol

You aren't fully dressed until you've got your hat. Send me back a century its difficult to find good quality hats these days and the sizes are more generic.

Especially uncomfortable when my hair is grown a little too much and haven't had the time to shave yet

I have long hair and thats half the reason i wear a hat. Keeps it under control and the wind pushing little strands around on top of my head and in my face really bothers me.

yeah this is me with a beanie on for decades now,

but its like the master sword, i only break the hair out when its needed! ( to get attention from cuties!)

I gotta plan for that, the rats nest of hat hair doesn't always win them over

That, plus I'd rather have hat hair all over my whole head than just one dent across the middle from my headphones.

Head-on. Apply directly to the forehead.

There’s been a purple and black oversized beanie on my head for every single day for about a year now. I love this hat.

Why indeed, always feels wrong

I tried being a hat guy back in my early twenties. Didn't work. Dunno why.

I went through a flat cap/pipe smoking phase. :/

Honestly, not my worst phase, but far from my best.

Lol at first I thought you meant flat BILL hat and was super confused. I wasn't sure if you were an old timey guy who happened to like limp bizkit, or a crackhead.

I think you have to pick a hat type which fits your head shape, but I wouldn't know how to do that. But I think a skinny face would be weird in a bowler hat for example.

This site has nice guides on how to tell your face shape and what hats work well with a given shape
