What you look like = Magilla Gorilla fedora and no trenchcoat. He's doing it wrong. :)

I was joking about getting your ass kicked, but you should be expected to be hassled by youngsters for wearing those hats.
Not my experience.  But then i am not a greasy looking fedora atheist with scraggly facial hair.

And if they do think it odd i will give their opinion all the consideration it is due.

Some people are just douchebags.

I got this hat as a gift from my dad, I do wear it a bit in the winter months. I get lots of comments from women that are 15-20 years older than me how nice it is.

and yes I get comments about how crappy it is from the high school/college kid crowd.

Won't they just get "Abby" to enhance the image?  (then zoom in, change the perspective to get around an obstacle, and enhance it again?)   :rofl:

Dang fine looking hat.

What the heck sort of high schoolers is Iowa producing these days? 

I live between two public high schools, both about a mile away and encounter them all the time.  Yes, the females from one dress like they aspire to hang off a brass pole and the males from the same HS like they want to be their bouncers.  But no smart talk in over ten years.  The other HS is more upscale and dress better, but still no lip.  I don't give them a hard time, either.  I figure they are dressing for their peer group.

I won't count the nearby college due to its heavily technical focus.  That crowd hardly notices their own clothes, let alone others'.

I've got a serviceable WWII Era CD helmet (WW 1 surplus) I need to clean it up and repair the head gear.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Given what they call "style", I'll take that as a compliment.
