This Just In: Pendleton Wool Black Watch Hat

$16 @ eBay

Every now and then, I like to try out new things.  I wouldn’t say that I’m jumping on a bandwagon so much as seeing if something fits in with my style.  Believe it or not, I’ve only been wearing pocket squares for about two years now.  There was a time when I found them a little awkward, but now I can’t imagine not wearing one.

I wear a hat everyday in the fall/winter.  It’s usually a watch cap or a trapper hat.  This is my first “serious” hat.  Of course, it’s Black Watch.  Don’t be surprised.  I think it’s a fedora, but it may just be a bucket hat.  It has been misshapen in it’s travels in the mail.  I’m not sure how or if I can reshape it.  Research later.  

My wife hates it and thinks it looks ridiculous.  I like it, but I’m not crazy about it right out of the box.  I may need to size down a quarter inch.  Also, I think it would look better if it had more structure to it.  Hat’s are pretty cheap on eBay so I may get another one soon.  So, what do you think?

  3. rafiel said: I think it looks like the crown is a bit tall (sorry, don’t know if that’s what it’s actually called, I just know it’s not the brim). Try pulling the hat back a bit on your head, might make it to look like it’s not as big.. Hope that helps.
  4. evolutionofagentleman answered: Eric, once you get it sized for your head it is going to look fresh as hell. You can definitely pull it off.
  5. theunbuttonedlife said: Roll with it. Now you can put in a bag or jacket pocket with no worries.
  6. addtodictionary answered: The idea is great and you’re definitely bold enough to carry a hat! Keep trying I think.
