what hat

[JohnTheHat]

I bought a cheap hat in marks and sparks. The shape is it goes up at the front and back and down at the sides. What sort of hat is it

How do I upload JPEG. Does it have to be on a site like photobucket and linked?

Thanks

Yeah, you upload your shot to photobucket or similar, grab the "direct" link or however they term it, and above your post window here, there's a little mountain icon, click that and paste the link url into there and you're set.

This is is. Not sure if pic shows but it goes down slightly at front and back and up slightly at sides.
Have I done it right should the pic show instead of the link?

You didn't get the right URL to show the image.

Looks like an Outback or Slouch type hat to me...

 

[JohnTheHat]

Thanks
I googled slouch and it seems to go up more than mine. I have an outback but it goes down at front/back up at sides, the opp to this

How did you show the image in your post?

Select "quote" option under my post above & you'll see the url string.
Are you describing the top of the crown shape or the brim? [huh]

Copy and paste the IMG code for any given photo from photobucket to your Lounge post.

Brim, the pic is taken from the front.

OK got it thanks forgot the IMG tags

Brim, the pic is taken from the front.

Many fedoras are shaped with the brim up fore & aft. From the photo, this looks like a fabric type hat with vent holes in the sides, which to me fits in a slouch/safari hat category. Brim shape doesn't necessarily define the hat style, just shows how the brim end up when you bought it.

That looks like an outback or slouch style to me, also.

That is right

That is right. It is rain resistant and sunblocker too, says 50+ sun protection on the sticker. Has vent holes

which to me fits in a slouch/safari hat category. Brim shape doesn't necessarily define the hat style, just shows how the brim end up when you bought it.

Oh i see, thanks It is a nice hat, the pic is not very good

I've considered getting a cloth hat similar to the one you have there for casual, day to day wear around the house. BUT they're also suited to wearing out and about, provided you're not wearing it with a suit or anything!

Oh, and also, welcome to the Lounge!

. Brim shape doesn't necessarily define the hat style,

What do you think defines the hat style then?
I would like a hat like J Depp wears in the movie Public Enemies
