Same reason they stopped wearing suits.

Because Lids is charging $50 for a baseball cap. No thanks.

John Denver’s Hologram sings:

“Sunshine
On My Bald Spot
Makes Me Happy!”

The Army made me wear a hat and I always hated hats ,LOL

[jroehl]

Because JFK did not wear a hat to his 1960 inauguration. Men stopped wearing hats over night.

[Telepathic Intruder]

My head fries like an egg in the sun, so it’s kind of required for me.

[Codeflier]

Because it messes up your hair and makes you look stupid. That’s easy! Next question.

P.J. O’Rourke —

‘A hat should be taken off when greeting a lady, and left off the rest of your life. Nothing looks more stupid than a hat.’

[LIConFem]

I don't leave the house without a lid. It's not a Fedora... just a baseball cap with some “morale patch” or another slapped on the front.

Who gives a rats ass. I have 50 golf caps in my collection. I always have a cap on. Looks better than my thin. What’s left, hair.

[DarrellZero]

Ball caps are still pretty popular.

Brain cooling?

[dfwgator]

I have terrible “Bed Head”, so a baseball cap is a must.

Less beaver chasing?

Not bald at all, but I live in the desert southwest.

It’s a cowboy hat, hard hat if I’m on a location, or a boonie hat (for the yard or fishing/hunting). Because the Sun is a wee bit intense here.

And then you have hat hair, and so keep wearing the hat later.

And then the question is “do you keep wearing the hat indoors”? There’s a split opinion on this one now.

I almost always wear a hat when I am outside my home or car.

MAGA hat to protect my head from the Sun and pass off lib’s. I also wear a warm hat in cold weather and I wear a Fedora to look classy at Wedding and other formal occasions.

[Liberty Valance]

I always wear a hat now. Since the surgeon took a cancerous hunk out of my face, just under my eye, I wear a hat during the day - Doc said it was a good idea. A straw Stetson during Summer and a felt one for Winter.

Do Bass Pro hats count? 😉
