What is this Ikea thing? Is it real? I feel lost.

Can I still find one of those old Nike hats, simple swoosh logo in black or the like.

@dieworkwear Do you wear hats? I am curious what you would rock.

I have a small face, which is why things like glasses and hats are hard to size IMO. The latter has been something I have been searching for a long time. Tried Larose last fall and it looks huge (Casentino wool). I wonder if other fabrics make the appearance smaller.

edit:
I remember back in college me and my buddy were gunning for the Supreme box logo hats. And one summer I think he finally picked one up off of eBay and the days that followed he kept researching whether it was authentic. Good memories.

Tabi boots can look really good in the right context.

TheRosenrot (blogger on the 1rst pic) has a good range of tabi boots... i never understood the appeal of tabi boots at first, but she build some nice outfits arount tabis that kinda attenuate the 'sheep feet' effect of tabi..
But the male version though... I'm all for experimentation, but I can't find the right context / outfit / occasion to pull it off.. Outside a dojo...

Just been browsing London fashion week runway shows... I don't know what is going to happen In Paris fashion week next week, but so far, all I've seen is ugly.. Looks like almost every brand is trying to embrace the oversized/raw edges / silly logos & captions influence from Vetements...

i suck at sales.. aside from stuff from NMWA (because hey, everything is good), most of my sales buys have been busts (not worn regularly, maybe i didn't want it that much in the first place etc)

I had the exact same thought about London shows. Londons always talked about as being a bastion of diversity and new ideas but all I see now is the same thing being turned out and praised, a bit of a Central Saint Martins circle jerk. and now theres no Alexander McQueen, JW Anderson, Maharishi, CMMN SWDN, Margaret Howell, Christopher Kane, Burberry... thats anyone who was in their own lane doing something interesting.

Sounds like you want the '86 Heritage hat

Same here. Have unchecked those boxes + saved changes a million times, but it won't stop them.

Unchecked the boxes on my Alert Preferences. Hopefully that does the trick.

I have a Lock & Co Rambler and Napoli. The first is a unstructured wool hat, but keeps its shape reasonably well (not designed to go floppy, like Stoffa's). The second is a straw hat. TBH, I don't wear them that often, but they get used on messy hair days when I don't want to do my hair and I'm just running out for errands or something.

No experience with dad caps or snapbacks, unfortunately.

I believe I tried the former once from Mr. Porter, I liked it..may have gotten a size too small. I may reconsider. What types of outfits would you wear with the hat? I am considering the straw hat from NMWA, Sublime. And same, I just need something on lazy weekends where going out and a cap could really be a life saver of sorts.

I only really wear them when I'm lazy and don't want to fix my hair some day, so the clothes aren't anything too fancy. I find them to be mostly seasonal, so straw hat for summer and wool hat for fall. The wool one, Rambler model, sometimes gets worn in the spring/ summertime with workwear though. So Kapital Aloha shirt, RRL canvas jacket, and jeans. Recently wore the straw Napoli model with a white Camoshita polo (that deep v design they call the Skipper) and some jeans.
