I worked in a coffee shop and there was a gentleman that came in every single day in a nice perfectly fit suit,(he loved blues and browns) and a different fedora style hat. He was easily my favorite customer. Never came in not looking perfect, in a world of drones, he figured out how to stand out.... and get free coffee from me 😅
@@RealMenRealStyle It's a very tough call. I think what it comes down to is preference. Since I take advice from the both of you, I can't answer the question because I'm constantly pulling advice from you and his channel.
@@RealMenRealStyle That's a tough call for me because both of you are stylish in your own way. All I know is that I have to synthesize and fuse the information from both of you to create something that works for me.
Ladies love the classic hats. No matter if it is a flatcap, newsboy, panama, fedora.. women find it very unique and interesting sight in today’s age. They instantly think of the 1920’s gentlemen, and I think that is a great association!
Do it! I started balding in my 20s and became a baseball cap guy for a decade. I transitioned to flatcaps and it feels so much better! Mature and classy.
That hat brotherhood thing is actually very nice :D .Can lead to friendships or even a new way to networking.Also, you can tip your hat when you encounter a woman you like who also wears a hat in a outdoor bar or sth.Hats should make a comeback!
Finally! Flat caps are getting the respect they deserve. I own about 2 dozen mostly from Kangol that I rotate seasonally. So many styles and colors to go with any sartorial choice. Been wearing them daily for many years. Baseball hats are for children and baseball players, all else is for the dapper man.
Having gotten bald in my 20s, I became a baseball cap guy for a decade, which I hated. Discovering flatcaps has been a game changer! I finally could look elegant and mature from spring to autumn.
I definitely need to amp my hat game, maybe even customize a few. Already told the cap head vibe to kick rocks, its now time to slide on the gent’s hat. Most definitely thank you for this video!
Thanks for the great video giving a worthy shout out to the hat wearer. I know you have touched on this a few good videos in the past. Good on you for trying something new and it does look great! I agree with all that you said. The flat cap is becoming fashion forward in it's own ironic way. I have rocked two different flat caps for years now and I rarely leave the house without one. You can also use subtle pins, etc. to customize your look/shout out to a brotherhood or groups you belong to.
I started making flatcaps a few months ago. When I wear them I find that people treat me more respectfully and clerks call me sir. Was entering a building today with the flatcap on and a young man coming through from the other side, moved aside and said, "Come on through sir." Very noticeable difference. Your video is right on!
What a unique video Antonio!!! This is by far the best video I watched from Real Men Real Style in 2020. Glad to see that you brought value & importance to the flat cap. I intend to purchase a couple of flat caps that can be worn for the summer since I live in a tropical country. Glad to see that you went all the way to Atlanta & getting along with your old friend, alpha m!!!
I guess you watch videos from this channel because something in you after all does want to stand out. And why not? Why be "the others" who already exist? Don't be afraid of failing! Becoming sure of what you want and what to do for it is a process and no one will tear you apart if you make "mistakes". You can stand out in a positive, memorable way, and then you could experience that doors open, which otherwise remain closed, just because you did it.
I have been wearing a flat cap for three years every day, I don't leave the house without one, all seasons. Very good starting headwear for young people too.
Im 15 and I'm starting to get interested in flat caps. I've got one at home but my friends say that I'm embarrassing myself and them 🤣, and that's why I never wore it again. I would really like to wear but i don't have confidence to wear flat caps :(
@@milang393 Once a dude tried to steal my flat cap, when I took it back, he started a fist fight, i got myself pretty little scar at the lip but i still have my cap and he's my mate now - of course you will stand out and attract unwanted attention, your ability to pull the style off depends completely on your self-confidence, no garment will make you a proud man if you don't act proud and manly, you can just submit to pressure and wear street wear it's no sin, no amount of intention, thoughts or words is worth anything if you don't enact it in reality, in body. But I hope you will find the strength to make the traditional style your own. Remember that all your colleagues will grow up and start dressing more seriously with time, your decision is whether to be on a forefront or be average. 15 is to young to wear business suits, one has to know their time and place, but flat cap is wholly appropriate.
@@10hawell My friend attempted to steal my flat cap too, because it was too "embarrassing", we nearly got into the fight.. But I guess I will just try to be myself.
As a teen boy I used to wear my grandpa's flat cap spending months in a village. Loved it. Then a beret in my 30s. Definitely one day..be back to hats.
I’ll give you a new challenge, Antonio: wear a BOWLER hat for a week. I shave my head and commonly wear a hat ( my Landlord’s grandson is just starting to talk and sees me leave each day, and his name for me is ‘Black Hat’) and of all my hats I get far more compliments on my Bowler. Vintage or not, people love that hat! Btw, I think with the shape of your face snd head you’d look better in a Newsboy than a flat cap. That flat cap is nice but looks too small for the frame of your face.
Love my flat cap I even wear one at work all day. Recently when I've posted stuff off to guys on yt I pop one in the box and it's great to see one of their videos wearing it 👍
Hey Antonio, I feel so validated by this episode of RMRS. I spent years mourning the demise of the hat and the hijacking of sartorial gentry by grunge types who have equated practicality with laziness and disdain thus butchering the beauty, skill, and art of traditional gentlemen's style. Thanks for striking one for the silent but sartorially more profound minority. Not sure the flat cap does it for you but you look killer in the Panama or Trilby. My collection consists of summer and winter Fedoras, Trilbys and flatcaps and as long as we are able to accessorize without flashing (after all, the clothes don't wear us; we wear the clothes), life is good and balanced. Great episode. Cheers - P
I wear my cowboy hat almost everywhere...because I live in El Paso, TX a.k.a. “Suncity.” Very functional! Plus I feel like a champ....and smart. I’m wearing a big hat because I live in “SUNCITY!” I hope other dudes start wearing a nice hat after this vid. It’s a nice addition to your style. Go buy one! It’s late. I should be sleeping.
I don't have to worry about my hair while wearing a hat, either. If I don't keep my hair short, it acts a bit like a lubricant and makes it highly susceptible to being blown off in the wind. One thing that I have noticed is that I seem to be more approachable while wearing a hat. One woman having car trouble last year chose me out of a large number of people to ask for help. And one of the greatest looking woman I've seen in a long time walked around taller people in a store to ask m e to help her get something off of a top shelf.
More compliments and attention: confirmed! If you want to get a "real" hat instead of a cap, I'd like to encourage you to stay away from Trilby hats. Compared with a Fedora or Panama, which usually have a wider brim, these can look incomplete or even ridiculous. Sure, if you have never worn a hat before, it is difficult getting used to a more "visible" hat, but it looks - on most men - much better! This is especially the case if you are generally more in to classic styles. It requires a bit of confidence to wear a hat, because only few younger men do and you might think you then are one of "the old ones", however you can lift your style instantly by putting a hat on.
Great hat! I have a few Goorin hats. Been wearing hats for 20+ years and am definitely known as the hat guy. Keep collecting and wearing I think you could be part of the hat brotherhood.
Hi Antonio. What would you recommend to wear to a beret? I hope to use the one i got through my military service, just without the badges of course or is that a bad idea up front? Thanks
I, myself use a flat cap each day got into the style this early summer. And you do get alot of compliments and respect. Not to mention eldery people approach and repsect you much more, because they don't think i am that annoying 20 yr old with a long normal gangster cap and no life. But i do like this style and it fits me. I am 20 years old wear this cap with normal jeans and a thin denim like jacket with a polo shirt underneath, wich makes the look of a manor house owner i think the word is. it's just a nice country style however i must say flatcaps are useless at stopping sunlight because they're short. where normal longer caps easily blocks the sun, from getting in the eyes while driving or walking.
I wear a Western/outback hat almost all the time. It's a style I found worked for me, how I dress, and how I present myself. It's different, no doubt. Ain't too many fellas out there rocking a leather cowboy hat. But... It gets noticed. It gets compliments. It's iconic, and people love it. Strangers on the street, folks working at the shops, coworkers, etc. all love it and comment on it. Every now and again you gotta be prepared for someone who's gonna give you a funny look or crack what they intend to be a mean joke, but that's fine 'cause it ain't gonna be for everyone. It ain't gotta be for anyone other than me anyhow. A nice hat will absolutely get attention.
Excellent video...I M leaving my house right now..wearing a gray fedora....have to run a few errands..I am always wearing a hat....wearing a hat transformed Walt Frazier to clyde..the hat was a borsalino..peace..
Thank you for a fun video! I like hats and caps, yet prefer caps because they don't react to wind gusts and can be folded and pocketed when necessary. Please do a video on (hat and)cap etiquette. I feel caps are more acceptable for indoor wear (meaning I'll wear a cap to comfort my bald scalp from air conditioning) than hats. I'd like to see your authoritative take on the matter.
I'm bald so I wear hats to keep the sun from burning me or to stay warm. But in the military we had to wear a cover in uniform so now its second nature
I have the same problem. Especially when going into a restaurant to eat. It may be vain but I do not like having messy hair LOL. But I do love the flat cap and have a few.
Funny, i bought one 3 weeks ago because i wanted to try something new and i love it. It fits my style i also noticed how peopel are looking at me especially girls it must have a gentlemens touch i guess. Greetings from Austria.
Great hat Antonio, I have two hats that are a similar style! And what's funny is most guys worry and cover their head if their bald, I don't worry about that too much! Also there's a guy in my school who always wears a tricorner hat.
I also have two flat caps for the casual days on Fall and Winter, two Panama hats for the Spring and Summer, four fedoras on brown, light gray, charcoal and navy for when I wear more formal attire, been thinking on getting a Top hat for the black tie events How does the tricorner hat looks in real life? Can it be brought back on or it is a piece that belong past? You kinda got me curious in the tricorner with your comment
@@11shiroineko I think it could if enough people brought it back, but if not, it might have to be combined with other hats. So maybe like a, not sure what it's called but a cowboy hat and the tricorner combined might be pretty interesting. Just for pieces of designs combined, not physically wearing both. And by the way, that is a very impressive hat collection you have going on for you. I do not have nearly as much hats, but you make it up for the both of us. A top hat could work for you by the way, I don't see why not. :) ~Gabriel Paige
I worked at Goorin for years and that’s when I found my love of hats, now I rarely leave the house without one, they are always in style and I feel you have to have some real style and confidence to pull it off well ❤ take the plunge, you will be glad you did 👍
I really like the video. I’ve always worn a hat because I like them and they’re functional. So I’ve always been the hat guy for several decades! I agree with all the points you made. Also, as a historian, hats have always been integral. For me they still are!
I used to be a hat guy, wore a fedora style Stetson but it was too unique. Now I wear caps and beanies, I just don't have the face for a flat cap. Side note, I used to chat a lot with a guy who ran a hat stall and actually teach him about different types
I wear hats all the time! I wear cowboy hats and Trilbys with casual clothes I wear felt hats, fedoras and homburgs with formal clothes and suits I wear panama like hats at the beach I LOVE HATS! I am thinking about getting one like the Irish hat you wear, what can I match it with? What works best for it? It looks to me it is on the casual side and more for late September to early spring
As a guy who has been wearing hats everyday for 5 years (a combination of newsboy, flat cap, wide brim fordra) I would agree with much of your experience. Although I would still recommend combing your hair a bit even if you are wearing one since otherwise it can be a little deshebold when you take it off. (Such as: when your sitting for periods in a restaurant/pub, meeting in a more formal environment, at chapel, and etc). It also redistributes the oils in your hair which is good for scalpe
3:20 OK I am being hit on by WOMEN online and you are saying my family style is making me a target of this unwanted attention? Not I do NOT GET COMPLIMENTS anything but and they make me a target for stupid reactions and anything but friendly but I stand tall for a style I love and will NEVER BACK DOWN FOR ANYONE. It is my style and it is set that way for life and even FOREVER. You can not change whats meant to be
When I wear my Fedora in town while going for a walk, people will roll down their window and make various comments passing by. Some complimentary and some mockingly. I dressed Western one day and went into a grocery store, and several people encircled me and were acting like they just saw an alien land from outer space. You definitely have to wear one with confidence nowadays. I.E. Johnny Depp.
A) It's good to wear a cap as long as you don't have to take it off -----> Hathead !!! B) Note: Whenever you go indoors for anything other than retail, good manners says that you always take off your hat.
I'm from the City of Veracruz and there most Accountants, Layers, Goverment Staff, Businessman or Profesionals wear Linen Guayaberas on their everyday, so as a Profesional from Veracruz I wear my classy Linen Guayaberas to the office in Mexico City while most wear their Average Poliester Suits 🤙🏼
I have lived in tropical climates for over 50 years and now live in Arizona. I see my skin oncologist regularly thanks to many benign skin cancers so my face looks like a patchwork quilt. I regularly wear a nice tan Stetson straw cowboy hat to protect what is left of my wimpy Irish skin. Surprisingly, not all that many folks wear cowboy hats around town but if you can't wear a nice cowboy-style hat in Tucson, where can you? I do get a lot of compliments on it and it's fun to wear a different style hat from the usual common ball cap.
The next time I go to the city, I'm planning on getting a new dress hat and leave my current fur felt hat for every day use in the winter. (I have a straw hat for the summer.) I'm thinking about a Stetson Open Road. I don't wear my flat cap very often -- mainly if it is cold and windy enough to give me troubles with a western hat.
I typically wear a hat, usually a fedora, though occasionally a cowboy hat, or a Panama hat if it's hot, and I always wear a nice felt hat when wearing a suit - I'm old-school that way. And yeah, I've gotten compliments.
The best part of retiring from the military was no longer having to wear a hat everyday. Maybe in a few years I can get back to them. Still need a bit of detox from the polyester uniform special…
Hey Antonio, being an ex Serviceman you would have taken on your previous persona which ups your presence, confidence and general alpha. People notice this. Love your videos
Im going to have to disagree. I'm with groot on this. Hats are dumb. Well every day hats. Functional hats like helmets or sun shades for hiking is fine.
