Since the topic of hats and the ****** rope that seems to be coming back in style for people who completely lack it, I pose the following question:
Hats: Curved or Flat Bill?
- Thread starter Chesusdog

Curved, like any straight guy would do
Curved bill, relaxed top, i.e. dad hat
No rope, no high cardboard reinforced top

Curved. And short socks if I'm wearing shorts and tennis shoes.
Curved but not extreme.
Never flat bill
Never flat bill
It depends on the hat the level of curve you need or don’t need. You can look like an idiot with any level of curve applied the wrong way.
Slightly curved. Flat looks ridiculous. As do the ones guys give that extra curve to.
A face beneath a flat bill cap automatically becomes punchable
There has been one customer that I sold hats to that specifically requested flat bill only. He runs an auto shop that specializes in the little drifter cars. When I asked, he straight said its an age thing. Young dudes will wear a flat
Flat bill and arm sleeve tattoos in middle aged men is peak douchery.
Black knee high socks if wearing Dr. Shoals sandals
I'm a 40-something dad. I'm not going to wear a flat bill cap.
Flat bills are for children and men who dress like children.
When I played ,caps were for sun and rain. A tool. Now I wear them so I won’t have to brush my hair
I think that this is actually a law.
I wear them so the top of my head doesn’t blister in the sun. I’m not balding , I just have a double crown!When I played ,caps were for sun and rain. A tool. Now I wear them so I won’t have to brush my hair
Slight thread hijack but I had some old waxed cloth hunting stuff. Vest, a shell bag, cartridge belt and it had all seen its better days so I ordered a can of fabric wax on Amazon. It made it all look brand new. I had this old M over S cap that was absolutely worn out. It was pink. I waxed it and it looks wonderful and gave it new life. Word of warning, don’t overdo the wax and don’t wax the inside. It’ll no longer absorb sweat and on a hot day the wax will melt into your hair, at least until it wears in. You can go on YouTube and make your own stuff out of Parrifin wax and mineral oil. It’s a lot cheaper.
Filson Tin Cloth hats, bought mine in 1990 mainly for duck hunting. Oil it once a year in the Fall for hunting season w/ Filson Oil Finish Wax about $20/can lasts probably 5-6 seasons. 36 years later it is still like new with the exception of some sweat stains or maybe some blood but as far as the quality i.e. stitching, leather inside headband, air holes, etc it is just like the day I bought it. They take some breaking in before they get comfortable so wear it around the house or in the yard to break it in before the season gets here. New they're about $90 now
Thats so we can use you as a firestarter if nothing else works.
Correct answer. Curved... but not too curved. Don't be the dude with the upside down U in front of your face either. You look like an igloo.
If you have a small head you can get away with a more extreme curve. I do not
This does bring up an issue I've been having lately. I've bought a couple of hats that have a dangerously-close-to-flat bill. (ordered them online so I didn't realize what I was getting into.)
What's the best way to set the curve in? They seem to be pretty resistent to my permanent curving attempts so far.

This checks out. Don't think I've ever known a farmer with a tiny head. Does not pair well with overalls.
Back in the day (i.e. high school) I'd use a baseball and a rubber band. I remember seeing Lids sell some contraption for the same effect.
The freaking pinheads around here will never understand the hat struggle we big cranium guys face.
Yeah,,,, and I know some 17 and 18 year olds that play baseball that do the same thing.
Pretty funny how many here are triggered by flat bill caps. I’m a slight curve guy, but I can think of several things men wear much worse than the hat bill:
-5 inch inseam shorts (ghey)
-the big Apple Watch
- oversized watches in general
-Nike dunks in general but especially in formal situations
-frat flip hair as an adult
-silicone wedding bands outside of work (grow up)
- Oversized water cups like a woman
-a hard part in their haircut
-flip flops not around a pool/beach
-long back pocket wallets
-bow ties
-seersucker suits

Same as the wearing jerseys or not: whatever your grown *** prefers.
