Ok I've seen a couple of major league players wearing their caps with the bill almost flat .... and most of the kids do too ... not mine that national championship hat came home as if it was folded in his back pocket Me.... even though I'm at the shore I bend mine down not with a baseball but by eye .... to keep the sun / rain / sand at bay ...... How about Y'All

I wear a giggle hat, which has cover for the ears and back of the neck. Sometimes called a bucket hat.

Sounds like the immortal Floyd R. Turbo cap.




(now to sit back & see how many people actually get it, & how many wonder WTF I'm talking about.)

Wondering WTF you're talking about. I bend mine down as well. Course, I've seen people who have the flat bills that wear them not only so that the hat isn't straight, but it's pushed so far back and that it wouldn't do anything anyway. Must be a "gangsta" thing, cause those same people are wearing the 3x shirts and 5 sizes to big jeans and a belt that doesn't even come close to holding their pants up.

Was the Turbo cap a deerstalker or a Radar O'Reilly coldweather cap?

We call that a bucket hat.

Floyd R. Turbo American.

Not the best angle for the hat, but his "editorial replies" rivaled Emily Latila for disconnected satire.

Gotta bend it down or else you'll look like a duck! Granted, if you have a big, orange pecker then that's ok. :p

When it's raining,I wear something that looks like the "giggle" hat-It's called a
"Boony" hat!It's from VN,it's camoflage & has alot of mi on it!I was discharged
in 1965,so it's nor exactly NEW.Most times,if I wear a hat,it's just a camoflage cap that says-POW-MIA on it! Irish :thumb:

The Bucket hat mentioned here was always known as a Floppy hat 'round here....ie...Orioles Natty Boh Floppy Hat night !!!!!

I bend my baseball caps in a semi-circle now....as a kid I used to fold the bill inside my glove and put the glove under my mattress....that way I could "season" both at the same time :)
