Good call Stat.
I was thinking that hats today is just yer ordinary working class bloke versus someone who can wear a top hat unironically, when, in fact, we need to deeply consider the sad obsessive and, indeed, the hipster w@anker.

All completely true but does it HAVE to be a baseball cap? Shove an Englishman in a flat cap or a bowler so that we know his class status FFS. Or a trilby. Or beeney.
Now this is a very different debate, unfortunately the trilby has been commandeered by weird Incels who watch My Little Pony and who have never spoken to a woman. However I’d firmly support a move away from baseball caps - mainly as despite being 28 I instantly look like a 45 year old divorced dad of 2 who is trying and failing to bond with his teenage son when I wear one.
I think men should be made to wear tops in supermarkets, largely as I want the odds of somebodies armpit sweat touching my food to be as small as possible. I also don’t think blokes should walk around with their cocks gayly flapping around like a windsock in a stiff breeze before you ask.

Anyone over the age of 13 wearing a baseball cap deserves a good shoeing.
And if its a NY one, they should be publically flayed in Trafalgar Square.

I’m 65, currently on vacation in the Algarve, and wear an unflattering baseball cap because I am as bald as a coote and don’t want skin cancer. I accept that the sun doesnt shine indoors but I sometimes forget to take it off…which is also a result of me being 65!
All depends on one’s dress sense.
If one shops at M&S and wears their Blue Harbour range, the addition of a shapeless cloth baseball cap perfectly tops off the Miami Pensioner look. You don’t want that if you’re under 65. Perfectly acceptable for the older gentleman.
An overweight and balding 50 yr old in a Hockey Jersey and sports branded SnapBack screams they wish it was still 1998 and Limp Bizkit we’re still Rollin’.
Keep the branding on the down low. Nobody needs to look like a Pole on Pay-day at TKMaxx, yeah?
Then there’s the only way to do it. I enjoy clean, crisp lines when it comes to garms. Keep that beard trim. Laundered cotton shirts done up to the top, a one tone baseball cap with branding detail rather than emblazon can really smash that outfit home. I rock a cap like a ‘kini on the hood of a ‘ghini. Namdayin’?
But let’s not forget that there are always exceptions to the rule. A person with a healthy degree of flair and confidence can carry off any look they choose. They don’t care what others think of them. Admirable.
But if you slide a cap up in the restaurant I’m in? You ain’t eating at my table. I don’t want you to starve but I ain’t passing you my bread, get me?

Over to you Whitechapel?
If any man needs to be told to put a shirt on before entering a shop or bar, then the only way to tell them is with a shovel to the head.
Is this the Mondat Drinking thread(s)?
My advice is like pearls before swine.
Post #23 he has replied
Agreed. And I’m first in the queue to give this particular buffoon (seen here blowing his own trumpet as ever) a damn good booting-to-the-balls.

It’s almost like you realise that ‘hats = bad’ isn’t a compelling argument

Manners was more the argument and I guess we'll just have to disagree .

My reply to you wasn’t whataboutery, but a question on standards.
Not wearing a hat indoors, in public is by some, seen as a level of a “standard” or maybe even good manners, as is wearing a shirt when shopping, and not just about getting sweat on your food!!!
As per always on NSC we can but agree to disagree.

Is it ok to wear a baseball cap in Spoons? Just asking for a friend
I thought it was obligatory?
