    The only hats I’ve ever felt okay wearing are the floppy canvas bucket hats. I have nothing against beanies either, but the fuckers always crawl up my head over time.

    All other hats feel like I’m wearing a shitty disguise.

      That’s because beanies are sold as “one size fits all”, when they clearly don’t.

      Couple that with companies trying to save material costs by making their “one size” hats as small as they think they can get away with and we end up with beanies that crawl up anyone with an average or above average head size.

      You can get tailor made ones though, which if coupled with real wool instead of synthetic wool, should last a near lifetime.

      I think I even saw one posted on one of the buy it for life communities a few months ago.

      Beanies are supposed to be worn with a gap between the top of your head and the fabric, it creates a pocket of warm air to keep your head warm in winter
