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 😅
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!
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.
@@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.
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 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.
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.
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 👍
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!
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
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.
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 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 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, 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 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.
I was given an Akubra hat, as a gift a few years ago and I love it. Seem's my friend noticed that modern cowboy style suited me down to the ground, and with thanksgiving in mind; I'm grateful for all of that and these videos.
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.
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.
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.
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'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 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
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!
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
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.
Antonio is actually right. I tried it on myself with a hat I bought here in Ireland that complimented my suit, shoes, tie, trousers etc very well. I've gotten compliments, looks from people, and people have said that I look like Indiana Jones and Michael Jackson..
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 love hats! I wear one all the time. I wear hats the compliment, and accent, my outfits. I get a lot of compliments on my hats. And, yes, in my family, I am the hat guy! I got 3 flat caps from Italy that I absolutely love.
I always wear a hat. Flat hats for windy or inclement weather and mostly in cooler weather, although I have a couple of light ones for warm weather. Felt fedoras when it’s cooler and not windy. Panama style straw in hot sunny weather to help keep the sun off my head and face and off the tops of my ears. And, yes, get lots of compliments. And, yes, the hat brotherhood is a very real thing.
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 love cowboy hats but if you aren't outside alot and need the protection, the flat cap still gives you style, easy to wear in a car or one a plane and definitely a couple steps up from the ball cap.
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.
5:20 Alpha actually looks great with the flat cap on. He always talks about not wearing hats because of his ears but I'll give an exception to when he's pairing it with glasses. He pulled it off!
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..
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.
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.
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…
Im 55 and i started wearing a hat at the age of 3 or 4 and had one on since mostly a high quality cowboy hat but i do sport a fedora from time to time 😊
Never wore hats until I found this one flat cap that was the right size, and ever since I've bought a couple more and actually got compliments on them. I still think it's mostly cuz people around here just don't wear hats beyond baseball caps, but who knows.
I tend to buy a hat from places I have visited, like a Cowboy hat from Texas, a Dear Stalker from Baker Street, London, a Indiana Jones hat from Disney Land Paris, a sombrero from Mexico etc. I like hats, they make good display pieces rather than functional headwear, but apart from that, I don't wear hats with the exception of a beanie if it's cold. But I do have a Lock & Co Tweed Cap that used to belong to my grandfather that i'm willing to try out. As I'm getting to a age where a stoner Slouch Beanie is no longer acceptable.
Even if you have hair you still need to worry about the weather if you are outdoors. Once when I was in Bryce Canyon National Park I actually sunburned the part in my hair. After that I always wore a hat outside.
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.
You look great in the hats, Antonio, particularly the newsboy flat caps, which have a bit more volume and they compliment your face shape better. I also wore my flat cap when I traveled to Atlanta from Wisconsin a few weeks ago. I'm wearing it in my profile CZcams profile photo, actually. Cheers buddy.
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 👍

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've worn a flat cap since I was an undergrad in university. In this part of the world it makes you stand out. Even in the teaching world.
I’ve been wearing a Baker Boy hat for about a year now and get loads of compliments, the series Peaky Blinders helped promote these caps
Antonio is actually right. I tried it on myself with a hat I bought here in Ireland that complimented my suit, shoes, tie, trousers etc very well. I've gotten compliments, looks from people, and people have said that I look like Indiana Jones and Michael Jackson..
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 love hats! I wear one all the time. I wear hats the compliment, and accent, my outfits.
I get a lot of compliments on my hats. And, yes, in my family, I am the hat guy!
I got 3 flat caps from Italy that I absolutely love.
I always wear a hat. Flat hats for windy or inclement weather and mostly in cooler weather, although I have a couple of light ones for warm weather. Felt fedoras when it’s cooler and not windy. Panama style straw in hot sunny weather to help keep the sun off my head and face and off the tops of my ears. And, yes, get lots of compliments. And, yes, the hat brotherhood is a very real thing.
I wear hats all the time.
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 appreciate that!
I bought a really cheap hat made of paper in summer. Still, I got many compliments! As soons as it gets warmer, I'm wearing it again
I love cowboy hats but if you aren't outside alot and need the protection, the flat cap still gives you style, easy to wear in a car or one a plane and definitely a couple steps up from the ball cap.
By the way, that cap looks really good on you.
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.
5:20 Alpha actually looks great with the flat cap on. He always talks about not wearing hats because of his ears but I'll give an exception to when he's pairing it with glasses. He pulled it off!
I have a flat cap, and a trilby my favourites
You should do more vids on caps mate. Lots of men will / would wear them.
That part that your friend yanked your hat and you told him to vamooze is very funny!😆👍👍
I have worn hat’s for many years (I have 12+) and for me it feels right.
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..
Check out Boston Scally company. A little pricey but well worth it for style and quality. As a bald man. hats are a style must!
I'm the guy in town who wears the hat. I have a Stetson, a trilby, the newscap, a bowler, and several others. I love my hats.
I like the hat but you should definitely rock the Panama!
I love caps, primarily newsboy caps. Its a classic look, so I believe it should be worn with a collared shirt and boots or oxfords.
I have a coat without a hood so a hat is necessary. A flat cap is easy to carry in the pocket. When it rains or is cold the hat comes out.
I love my Top Hat I always get Compliments when I am wearing it
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.
I have a dark herringbone wool scally that compliments my mid gray herringbone tweed sportcoat. It's a great look and easy to pull off.
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.
I own the exact same one !
What brand of hat is that and where can I get one online? Thanks.
@@tomczymoch2930 It is written "Derby" with a bird logo "made in belgium" inside mine. I did not get it online.
It's just a basic simple hat...an authentic hat...it looks good on everyone
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…
I love wearing a hat every day!
At the coffee shop they remember me ’cause of my hat. They remember Aaron ’cause, well ... he’s Aaron! Gotta love it.
Love my tweed flat caps. I call them grandad hats though because in my memory that's the hats old fellas wore.
Im 55 and i started wearing a hat at the age of 3 or 4 and had one on since mostly a high quality cowboy hat but i do sport a fedora from time to time 😊
I’ve been considering swapping my caps to a flat cap … just to change the look a little
Great video for guys who hesitate to wear a hat!
Never wore hats until I found this one flat cap that was the right size, and ever since I've bought a couple more and actually got compliments on them. I still think it's mostly cuz people around here just don't wear hats beyond baseball caps, but who knows.
I tend to buy a hat from places I have visited, like a Cowboy hat from Texas, a Dear Stalker from Baker Street, London, a Indiana Jones hat from Disney Land Paris, a sombrero from Mexico etc. I like hats, they make good display pieces rather than functional headwear, but apart from that, I don't wear hats with the exception of a beanie if it's cold. But I do have a Lock & Co Tweed Cap that used to belong to my grandfather that i'm willing to try out. As I'm getting to a age where a stoner Slouch Beanie is no longer acceptable.
I’ve been wearing the same hat for three years
Even if you have hair you still need to worry about the weather if you are outdoors. Once when I was in Bryce Canyon National Park I actually sunburned the part in my hair. After that I always wore a hat outside.
I love the cabbie hat
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.
You look great in the hats, Antonio, particularly the newsboy flat caps, which have a bit more volume and they compliment your face shape better. I also wore my flat cap when I traveled to Atlanta from Wisconsin a few weeks ago. I'm wearing it in my profile CZcams profile photo, actually. Cheers buddy.
My styles of hats is the Fedora, Newsboy & Akubra.
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 👍
If I may ask. Where did you acquire the flat hat in the video?
Liked for the Nudie Cohen reference.👍
I go from a flat cap for everyday wear to a Jones cap if I know it’s going to be wet and ima be outdoors all day in it.
