Flat caps are brilliant. Mostly.

 

[Hi-ASL]

"lol - its moi tuuurrrrn next orn our sistuuuur."

 

[onenameshelley]

I just need to get some new cords and a nice sweater now - it doesn't really work with jeans and a hoodie

Thats what i wore mine with at Endorset, i think LTC you look gorgeous in your flat cap, I love my flat cap it smells of my dad

 

[Griff]

Next stop the Barbour shop then?

 

[bluestreak]

I haven't worn a flat cap since i was 8, but now i've seen your pics, clyde, i'm thinking it might be time to return to the look.

 

[Boycey]

Oh your ginger? that chnages everything. You are lowly enough to pull it off.

dave

agree with the ginger making it work, but not cos ginge's is lowly

Next stop the Barbour shop then?

eeek barbour. When i was little i always wanted to unpick those quilty coats so all the fluff went to the bottom and then the people would just look like they had huge bums

 

[N_igma]

Look like a culchie.

 

[dodgepot]

why?

because i said so

Used to be ok, now inextricably connected with Hoxton twats and Guy Ritchie types.

So guilty by association, I'm afraid

bollocks.

 

[scifisam]

They're better on women than men, I think, but you can carry it off. Er, not that you're feminine or anything.

 

[cliche guevara]

It looks good on you LTC. I like flat caps, but mine is pretty plain, doubt I'd be able to pull of a tweed one.

 

[cesare]

Depends. Looks OK on you LTC

 

[tarannau]

I'm afraid Jefe's right. Strictly only for dog walkers, rugby spectators in the surrey suburbs, or Guy Ritchie alikes

Anyone under the age of 40 wearing a flat cap tends to fall into the latter category unfiortunately.

 

[dodgepot]

fuck you tarannau!!

that really hurts

good job i've not got you a christmas present yet. fucking hell.

 

[dodgepot]

me and my cap

 

[cliche guevara]

There's that shirt again...

 

[Hi-ASL]

Yeah, but you look Northern. Shirt possibly aside.

So you're cheating a bit really.

[Paulie Tandoori]

flat caps ftw!!!

 

[dodgepot]

yes

 

[N_igma]

me and my cap

What sort of flat cap wearing culchie bastard drinks Champagne?

Dunno bout England but people who wear flat caps here are usually seen knee deep in cow shite!

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

he's a proper class act is dodgers eh?

(and he prolly is knee deep in cow shit, you just can't see it)

 

[Orang Utan]

me and my cap

My ma and pa used to wear hats like that to watch me play rugby, or for the occasional dog walk round the common.

Lil' Tarannau even got a hand-me-down version of a flat cap, a quality number from Dunn&Co. iirc. I thought it was quite cool myself, but then I was about 11.

 

[Griff]

number from Dunn&Co.

Got mine from there. The Rutland County Cap I believe it was called.

 

[El Jefe]

I must say I think dodgepot gets away with it because it's part of a look it works with

 

[Orang Utan]

And I don't?

 

[El Jefe]

And I don't?

it's not how it looks, it's the associations. And cos you don't wear it as part of a particular look, I'm afraid you fall into the Ritchie / Hoxton camp


Sorry
