What's the consensus on these hats? Classy? Stylish? Wack? Old man hat?

I feel like u gotta be at least outta highschool to rock this comfortably. That alone gives it a more mature aesthetic. I got my Kangol 504 and a wool one imported from Ireland. The Kangols sorta like a cross between a flat cap and a beret. Looks dope worn front or back.

Traditional flat caps go way back to late 1500s England. Worn by both working class and the wealthy.


Old school Peaky Blinders type shit:

Had over 20 different ones. Back in the 80's. All Kangol. Back then youngins could pull the look off bcuz everyone was wearing them. Nowdays the look is for the og's with the linen short set, sandals and Bluetooth phone. :imgood2:
 
Bill Burr calls it the Little Rascals hat

They say every old man goes thru a little rascals hat phase

My fellow Millenials on here talking about old man style. What u gon be wearing when u hit ur mid life crisis tho? Still rocking a fitted of ur cities sports team that's been on so long a playoff drought u started losing ur hair.

Meanwhile OG's and new G's like me looking suave asf in timeless apparel.

Straw hat and linen like any southern old head
