My concern is the reaction I'm going to get.
I always say that I have finally "outgrown" baseball caps-
The comments thing for me is kinda strange and unexpected. It never occurred to me when I started wearing westerns full time that people on the street would say anything at all or even notice but they do. Mostly women, sometimes 3 or 4 in less than an hour will say something like "nice hat" and occasionally I'll be in Costco or whatever and some guy about my own age will ask where can you buy hats like that around here. Get a lot of people asking me where I'm from as well - usually they think I'm visiting from Calgary...lol
Never had any negative remarks not that I'd care - but if it happened I'd probably laugh and say something like "what no mirrors in your house Jim Bob? You oughta have a look at yourself sometime; I can take this hat off whenever I feel like it but you!! ... well you're always gonna look like THAT!! ... and take it from me dood, you ain't got nuthin to laugh about"...lol
...I come all the way from Tennessee to then see someone in a "Daniel Boone" hat!
I've ordered a very nice Indy Fedora. I really love the hat.
I have never worn a hat other than a baseball cap, and plan to wear the Fedora as my standard go to lid.
My concern is the reaction I'm going to get.
Any advice/comments would be appreciated.
At onetime, everyone here donned their Fedora for the first time in public and I'm quite sure with a little trepidation.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
They got some serious wind and cold out there though. I lived in Edmonton for awhile - we got nuthin like that here for winter. Pretty much toques and ball caps everywhere - don't see too many westerns but fedoras seem to be around a fair bit now.
Be brave and ballsy.
Dress up sharp as a tack. Smack on the Feddie and head out into the world.
If someone gives you evil eyes or any kind of lip - Just tell yourself that you look awesome, because you do. They're jealous because they don't have the dedication, balls, courage and chutzbah to dress up as amazing as you're decked out.
Confidence, my friend. Confidence.
Do that often enough and it will become second nature.
If you act like a sheep when you're doing it, people will notice.
Don't be afraid. Be brave. Only bravery gets you anywhere.
WELL SAID! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap
