Since when have hats been on the decline? Hell I rock my cubs hat whenever I go out.

Since about 1945, when there began a total collapse of the sector in America.

Not a research paper, a good general analysis of the issue:

E: Key takeaway--

quote:

By the 1970s, the fedora and its cousins had gone into deep hibernation. In recent years they have begun to reemerge, largely due to the popularity of gangster movies and the importance of irony in hipster culture. Like the mustache and coke-bottle glasses, hipsters can’t seem to resist using a former symbol of the white cultural hegemony to show their individuality. Yet the hat won’t return to its perch atop the collective heads of American men- car culture is too entrenched- and the slide toward informality since the end of the 1950s has only continued to progress. The fedora died in the ‘60s. Just don’t give Kennedy the credit.

The emergence of car culture is one factor I hadn't really considered before, though that still doesn't account for the persistence of caps

Generational thing. Unless you mean caps on rich folk, in which case who drives their own car?

Also, headwear is extremely stylish in non-America. Going clubbing with my Ugandan and DRC colleagues, all of them are wearing fedoras--and pulling it off

I meant like baseball caps, golf caps (which always seem on the verge of preppy acceptability)

Wide brim hats are still stylish situationally, I was referring more to being ubiquitous for professional dress

I remember once I was wearing one of those rice hats and walking back home from the library (it was for a physics project I think) and sort of just leaning against the pole that holds the crosswalk button and some guy asks me in that really slow mildly patronizing voice if i knew English and if I needed help

And my little brother a few years back returning from Vietnam got stopped because they thought he wasn't a US citizen and he was holding one of those

Those are my stories about rice hats

Cowboy talk reminds me of the yearly Cowboys and Indians party my fraternity threw. Looking back... yeah it was pretty damned bad. Especially the part where I wore only a piece of cloth covering my shame.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
I really like it when a D&D libertarian thread picks up steam for a few days before everyone tires themselves out or it gets closed. It's the one circular argument I never get tired of :allears:

Also because this thread is oscillating between hat-chat and the long-awaited R. Mute/MIGF clash, can we also clear up once and for all whether or not tbp is a long-game low-impact troll or just happens to be generally boring?
