While cowboys in Westerns are usually portrayed wearing a cowboy hat or sombrero, the most popular type of hat in the West at that time was actually the bowler. A bowler hat was less likely to blow off when riding a Horse in high winds.

This one is super random but it’s something that’s going through my head so I am going to share it like the oversharing doofus that I am, run on sentences and all.
Hats. Should I have a go-to hat look? I have been a baseball hat guy since I was seven years old. Unfortunately as an adult I have a SUPER large head and it is hard to get baseball hats that fit. Those one-size-fits-all bastards? Not even close. Liars. I found a store that sells sized, licensed baseball hats (actually, I think Jen found the store) so I have a Red Sox hat that fits, though it feels a smidge too big post-weight loss surgery. I think my skull might have lost a little weight along with the rest of me.
Anyway…
We were watching The Gilded Age on whatever streaming service it’s running on… Max, maybe? Whatever, it takes place in the 1880s or 1890s and all of the men wear top hats. I asked Jen if I should wear a hat like that. She said yes. I think she was kidding. It got me thinking though… should I be a hat guy? Should I have a hat look? Maybe like a bowler hat like the characters in A Clockwork Orange? What about an Irish Scully Cap? My red hair makes that a pretty obvious choice, doesn’t it? What other types of hats are there? Not a cowboy hat, screw that redneck noise.
Is this something I should research? Is this something that I should make happen? With Jen’s approval of course. I don’t want to decide on a look that she wouldn’t like. The idea, as with all things, is to impress her and make her want to keep me around. You know how it is.
Thoughts?
