Fedoras & facial hair: are they mortal enemies?

[Frunobulax]

Hell, to answer this question is simple.
I don’t give a s**t what anyone thinks about “my” hat or “my” beard because they are mine.
I only need to consider what i think about them. Anything else and i defeat “why” i wear either, or anything else for that matter. The rest is all fluff.
That’s my nice answer. Ha
Hope that helps.
Being well. Bowen

Yes, it just seems like such an odd question. Men have beards; men wear hats, so...

There was this girl, back in the mid-80s when I was just rocking a mustache, who told me, "You'd look good with a beard."

I'm going to go downstairs in a few minutes and make her some dinner.

Hey Fru:
I love that!!
You gotta love any story that starts with...”There was this girl...”. Priceless.
Enjoy the happy ending to the story for years to come.

If you don’t think it’s a lightening rod then grow a big beard & see.

It seems like such an ignorant question to me.

Sorry but I didnt start the thread. You’re missing the point.

I wasn't referring to anything you said, Jack. It's the OP I was commenting on...

If i had a beard i’d wear this hat like this guy.
But that mustache??

Here's one of this grumpy looking character wearing one of his conversions....

 

[Telemaster]

Damn it guys... you already got me buying hats left and right.... don’t make me hafta try a beard out now too.

 

[Zombie_61]

I think it's obvious which side of this fence I stand on.

 

[Just A Hat Rack]

My employment forbids beards and my wife forbids kissing when I have a mustache. Needless to say, I’m clean shaven most of the time (I rebel on my days off).

Styles and fashions change and there are no right and wrongs. These are all personal choices that some will like, some won’t like, and most wont care one way or the other.

I think the folks here at the Lounge pull off this look with ease.

My wife doesn't like beards, and she doesn't like hats. I don't know how I landed her!

If you’re like me, you don’t question the hows and whys you just thank God she does.

She was probably impressed with your taste in leatherwear. I'll bet she said: "Nice wallet, dear."

Dylan sang it best:

"Her folks they said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
Papa's bank book wasn't big enough"

I have to say that I get a lot of support from the woman I've loved all these years....just hope my wife doesn't find out.

The long beard has become so ubiquitous I can't imagine it being a lightning rod for anything other than a beard oil salesman. I like mine just fine - never was much for keeping up with fashion trends anyway.

Remember that next time you wear one of your Hawaiian shirts.

I can't imagine it being a lightning rod for anything other than a beard oil salesman.

Then you would be wrong.

Let me know when you wear out your #0 trimmer guard & I'll buy you another one.

 

[Hats Matter]

I have had a beard since 1978 and I don't think it will leave me. I have worn hats since about 2000 and I don't expect to stop. I see no reason to change my preferences and if others do not care for the combination that is fine with me. I am not in the habit of living for the approbation of others.

Oddly enough there's a story not worth telling that relates to exactly that.

I can't really blame her about the beard sometimes. I tend to let it get it bit big in the winter months. Otherwise I try to keep it a bit shorter. As for hats, she's gonna have to develop an acquired taste I guess. She used to like the fashionable stingy brim fedoras I wore back in my rock band days. They're just not me, and don't fit the proportions of my face, so I don't wear them anymore.
