i feel like those cloth baseball style caps w/ like a leather strap to close them are p deviod of any subcultural markings. welllll except 'dads playing golf' i guess

:D-00 (Lamp), Friday, 27 May 2011 16:55 (fourteen years ago)

and considering hipsters have already appropriated the golf dad signifier du jour -- the button up polo shirt -- i dunno

sarahel, Friday, 27 May 2011 16:59 (fourteen years ago)

i'm kinda partial to those cloth "fishing" style hats with a brim all the way around, for exactly this reason

sarahel, Friday, 27 May 2011 17:02 (fourteen years ago)

those cloth "fishing" style hats with a brim all the way around

this signifies "i am at a outdoor jam-band festival" to me, culturally

burberry kush (elmo argonaut), Friday, 27 May 2011 17:02 (fourteen years ago)

i am not joking, i don't see any hipsters in collared knit shirts

burberry kush (elmo argonaut), Friday, 27 May 2011 17:04 (fourteen years ago)

the bucket hat signals to me "I like to watch home improvement"

dayo, Friday, 27 May 2011 17:05 (fourteen years ago)

this is why i moved to england, where bucket hats are free from association with jam bands or tim allen

40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Friday, 27 May 2011 17:06 (fourteen years ago)

my opinion of the bucket hat may be slanted by the fact that i just re-ordered 36 tie-dye bucket hats from one of our vendors

burberry kush (elmo argonaut), Friday, 27 May 2011 17:06 (fourteen years ago)

xp - maybe it's more of a west coast thing?

sarahel, Friday, 27 May 2011 17:06 (fourteen years ago)

west coast - hipsters wearing knit polo shirts w/buttons

bucket hat - Gilligan's Island

sarahel, Friday, 27 May 2011 17:07 (fourteen years ago)

haha i like how the bucket hat is soaking up derision for being lame and mainstream when the thread is specifically asking for hats that stand outside subcultural style

40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Friday, 27 May 2011 17:12 (fourteen years ago)

anyway per usual the correct answer is a top hat

burberry kush (elmo argonaut), Friday, 27 May 2011 17:13 (fourteen years ago)

in 2k11, mainstream is a subculture

iatee, Friday, 27 May 2011 17:14 (fourteen years ago)

i'm not being derisive of bucket hat at all! I am just concerned about the Gilligan's Island connotations in re Hoos' vertical challenges.

sarahel, Friday, 27 May 2011 17:15 (fourteen years ago)

bucket hats arent really 'mainstream' (lame works tho) they just have multiple subcultural associations including but not limited to:

- 90s ravers
- jam band stoners
- foul-mouthed sitcom oldsters
- depressed sitcom oldsters
- actual old ppl
- little girls @ the beach
- dirtbags (non-rocker version)
- early 00s alts who want to look like sitcom oldsters

:D-00 (Lamp), Friday, 27 May 2011 17:16 (fourteen years ago)

yea identifying cultural significance is not the same thing as rendering a value judgement

I think a New Era fitted standard cap worn straight up with no sticker and a slightly curved bill is about as non-committal as you can get. And they go way beyond just sports affiliated hats now.

i used to have a black army cap that was my favourite hat in the world, but lost it in japan and could never find the right fit again. clearly there's only one soulmate army cap out there for any of us.

this is why i moved to england, where bucket hats are free from association with jam bands or tim allen

alas the association of these hats for me is THE STONE ROSES, as growing up i knew them as "reni hats"

not too summery, i mostly wear it to combat pnw rain, but i don't think there's too many subcultural associations unless you are a Greek fisherman.
