Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

one of those hats

Which hats count?

Does all collar popping count?

Which hats count?

Those stingy brim fedora thingies you see on Justin Timberlake. Straw ones, but also the houndstooth check.

Does all collar popping count?

Yes. Except for Elvis impersonators. They get a bye.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I googled "douche hat" and got this. And that's what I'm referring to.

That same search also turned up Megan Fox wearing one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm getting used to it. I think I also just appreciate when people put any effort into their appearance.

You know what I don't like? When the cafeteria doesn't follow the menu that's on the intranet! It says today's deli special is roast beef, but they had that yesterday! Woe.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Fuckin' hipsters.

it seems a little like one of those "don't wear white after Labor Day" rules that doesn't mean much anymore.

This. The WSJ piece seems like, "Oh no, people don't know the essentially arbitrary rules for this piece of clothing!"

Hipster hat wearing just looks so douchey to me.

I think that's the inherent doucheyness of the hipster, which a mere hat cannot hide. Some guys do look natural wearing hats, and I approve of that. But hipsters aren't aspiring to "natural."

Hec, so not this hat? And I will defend this popped collar to hell and back.
