SUBURBAN SUPERDAD
SUPERDAD EATS HIS HAT ABOUT, WELL, WINTER HATS THEMSELVES
T
his winter, my latest fashion accessory is a warm hat.
Those who know me may suspect that’s a setup line to a joke. For most of my four decades-plus walking this earth, hats and I have had an, um, “on-again, off-again” kind of relationship. (Insert snare drum and groan here, sure. But really, please stay with me.) For many of my teen years, and well into college, my eyes and crown were regularly well shaded, thanks to the ball caps that were quite often perched atop my noggin. It was the best I could do. My admiration and
envy for the men who could pull off a proper Stetson cowboy hat has never wavered. (As my moniker indicates, I am far too suburban.) And I’ve written previously of my interest in fedoras — but I am told (mostly by my wife) that they look funny on me. But ball caps? Now we’re talking. In any event, they largely were left on the top of the dresser or in the closet on weekdays, and far too many nights and weekends, thanks to that pesky “dress code” mandated by the companies who paid the bills and apparently frowned on ball caps in the office and on assignment.
