I decided to try a hat other than the beat up baseball style hat I have worn for decades. While thinking about what style I wanted to try I suddenly thought of my dad. He has worn this style Kangol for as long as I can remember. I call it “the old man” hat. I decided since I’m old now and this style is good enough for my dad it is good enough for me. I have mixed feelings over this hat. When I it arrived I put it on and asked my teenage daughter and wife what they thought, their replies are what gave me the mixed feelings. My wife said “you look like an old man”, I can live with that, I am an old man and I like the hat. My teenage daughter said “you look like a hipster”…..WHAT THE HECK IS A HIPSTER. She filled me in about hipsters and apparently the “old man” hat is a fad at the moment. So do I wear the hat and have the kids laugh at me because they think I’m trying to look young and hip? I just wanted something different to cover my head and keep the sun out of my eyes. This hat is VERY comfortable and I don’t mind looking like my dad in the least. So those dang hipsters need to keep their comments to themselves.
