do you like those trucker hats that everyone is wearing? I think they make you look like a big ol' hick!

It's the feeling of wearing a hat... without the bill taking away 1/3 of your view. :-\

Also, it makes the hat more snug, because it's tighter around the temples, but looser in the back

That's a good thing? :confused:

So, for the feeling of wearing a hat, you must:
  • Buy hats/caps with appropriately 'cool' logo.
  • Shave head, so you don't have 'hat hair'.
  • Turn backward for full view.
  • Tolerate extra heat from hat.
  • Find place to stash hat when removed.
Uh, I'll pass...

Catch up with the times, geezer ;) No one even does this anymore. At least, not that I can see. No one at my school does it and I have yet to see more than a few cases of people doing this when going out around town.

The question is, why did anybody EVER do it? Why do they wear caps now, trucker or not? Just don't get it...

Real trucker hats, as in hats that truckers actually would / already have worn? Yes, those are cool.

Those stupid fakes ones that you can buy at any Gap-wannabe counter-culture store? No, not the slightest.
