The official DOOM hat thread

[thatguy]

Aside from a couple of knit caps for the cold and a wide-brimmed straw hat I use in the sun, I have a fedora. Wearing it is very conspicuous and I feel a little foolish in it. I also have a brown leather rain fedora. I feel equally foolish and typically wet in it. I have a bowler that was my grandfather's (my mom's dad). It could use a little restoration on the ribbon and brim lining, but it has it's shape and fits my head...Somehow, I don't feel as conspicuous in it. I have a fez. Mike Roman bought them for us for Bashi Bazouks performances. We only played 3 times, very conspicuous, but I do like it as a keepsake...I have a porkpie hat (I think that's what it is). I got it from a boutique clothing store's warehouse clearance for $5. I think I look best in it and consider it my "party" hat. I also appreciate the value. If I wear it, I'm expecting to party. My most recent purchase is a leather cap. I'm not a fan of baseball caps. This has a more jazz or brit look. I'm trying to convince myself that this hat is not conspicuous and is acceptable and normal.
