The horror! The horror!

[Effingham]

So... a lot of young guys -- hipsters -- have taken to Trilbys and fedoras. But they really don't seem to be doing it right.

And then... there's this:

Mother of god

Oh lordy...

What in heavens name do they call that abomination? They call Ballcaps 'Snapbacks', so that would be knows as a Button back? Click-back hat?
How about "The Clicker-backer!"

 

[Hoyt Clagwell]

I wonder if they make one with velcro?

 

[Captain Lex]

That's phenomenal. It's like wearing a clip-on tie with a wing collar on purpose. It's like what a redneck would wear if we didn't already know rednecks wore better hats than those. It may be the crowning achievement of hipsterdom -- the worst article of clothing ever made.

 

[Benny Holiday]

What the - ??? I wish I hadn't looked at that picture right after lunch!

 

[this one guy]

Maybe next will be a ponytail option - or is that passé? :fear:

 

[Effingham]

And I bet that -- like a ball cap -- they wear it with the clip on FRONT.

Hi All

That is horrible however it maybe a start towards finer head wear. (vintage fedoras). LOL

Best regards

All it needs is a pinwheel on top.

The horror! The horror!

Once upon a time the fedora was greeted with similar disdain.

 

[Walt]

So who makes this abomination and are they having success selling it?

 

[Walt]

All it needs is advertising on it like the typical not sports team baseball cap.

 

[Hoyt Clagwell]

One of those along with a pair of those pajama jeans and my Christmas shopping for Mrs. Clagwell is DONE!

 

[seabass]

aww just say it !
LOOKS LIKE CRAP

 

[GoldenEraFan]

Even without the baseball cap band, those hipster fedoras are ugly to begin with. I thought it was bad enough when they put the adjusters on yacht and civil war caps.

 

[splintercellsz]

I think I found a contender... The sequin LED Fedora...

[Shangas]

Sweet merciful heavens...

I think I'm going to be sick.

 

[Brian Niebuhr]

Oh god, I really hope to see one of those in person so I can laugh inside. And maybe outside. Next thing, kids will be asking us where our snapper's gone!

This might be a contender for the most clueless item of clothing ever.

Not in the same league with trousers that you have to hold up with one hand just to walk but that's patently stupid.
This, on the other hand, is clueless.

The flashing LED fedora, however, is obviously a safety item. So you don't get run over in the dark.
And it interrupts the transmissions. Better than aluminum foil.
