In Defense of the Hat: An Editor's Perspective

I'm a hat dude. For the last few years, if you see me, you see a hat: beanies (always Neff!) and porkpie hats in the winter and baseball caps and fedoras in the summer. To be honest, I never really wore hats prior to two years ago—I never thought it was really my thing. But after sitting next to a guy in the coolest topper at brunch (yes, I'm okay with some hats at a restaurant table, despite what etiquette aficionados say) one Saturday, I started thinking: Here's this normal person in a standard outfit (jeans, a pullover, and sneakers), but somehow he looks different from the rest and, in a way, a whole lot cooler because of that one accessory. That afternoon, I stopped at a boutique on my way home and picked up my very first real hat—and it kind of spiraled from there. Now, it's become my signature.
