I noticed the hat-wearing culture is getting bigger...before I knew it, I already have 5 ball caps and 3 skull caps...

How about you?

Those are not hats. Those are, as you correctly identified them, caps. There is a distinct difference. Caps fit close against the skull, a proper hat has a brim all the way around it and the crown does not touch the top of the wearer's head.

I have two, an all-purpose leather hat (sometimes called a cowboy hat, but that's not correct stylistically) that I wear regularly and a fedora.

Main Entry: hat
Pronunciation:hat
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English hæt; akin to Old High German huot head covering -- more at HOOD
1 : a covering for the head usually having a shaped crown and brim
2 a : a distinctive head covering worn as a symbol of office b : an office, position, or role assumed by or as if by the wearing of a special hat

I would say a cap is a type of a head covering....wouldn't you?

..I have a bunch of hats but usually wear my Outdoor Research (OR) element sun hat. Has a broad brim to protect me from the sun and is made from breatheable material so it doesn't get hot. I also have a rain hat version. Hats are good.

I'm wearing a Longhorns hat right now.

i wear a hat pretty much everyday. i have about 6 baseball hats, 2 beanies/skull caps, 4 kangol 504 wool caps, and 1 jager visor (ty jager girls!). also have a bandana but i hardly wear it. and at night i strap on a jimmy hat . funny thing is, i have great hair, but ive been wearing hats since i was a little kid (little league), so its just become a habit. also at work, if i forget to tell someone my name, they usually track me down by asking my co-workers for the name of the guy who wears hats.

Since there is no option for Top hat and Pirate hat, I have chosen the "other" category.

 

[thechinesehero]

Yes, and "cactuses" is in the dictionary as an acceptable alternative to "cacti" as well. Just because it's in a descriptive dictionary does not make it right.

Hmm ... I learned what a Fedora is! All along I thoght that was a made-up term that the Red Hat marketing dept created.

That being said, I still don't see the option for top hats or pirate hats

...hat-wearing culture...

• • • :roll:

I come from a generation who never wears hats. Our parents, especially grandparents did, and the kids today do, but we never did, unless it was for a reason.

WTF is the point anyway? I've seen "asshats" wearing caps indoors when it's over 80 degrees. Fvckin' looney if you ask me!
