| 1423953 | 2016-08-03 05:43:00 | Also good for hiding the bald spot = real reason most wear em :-) I have often wondered why members choose the name that they do when they sign up. After your confession as above the bells began to ring :) 1101 could be expressed as.... 1 = hair, 1 = hair, 0 = bald spot, and 1 = hair How is that for a theory? Ken :banana |

| 1423955 | 2016-08-03 08:23:00 | My reply may be seen as very politically incorrect, but as I see it, there is a very definite 'culture' to baseball caps. Some would argue a 'sub-culture'. Why do so many people wear them, and wear them backwards? Monkey see, monkey do. I've never met anyone of substantial intellect wearing a baseball cap. I'll stop there before I get into deeper water. |

| 1423956 | 2016-08-03 08:25:00 | Actually, I'll add another thought... Who is more likely to wear a baseball cap? A Trump supporter? Or a Hillary supporter? The answer says plenty. |

| 1423957 | 2016-08-03 10:36:00 | How about if you need to wear earmuffs when operating machinery ie. Driving a tractor. A baseball cap works just fine for that. | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1423958 | 2016-08-03 19:52:00 | Why buy nice $100 shoes, $20 gumboots do a much better job. Why buy expensive shirts when a $10 t-shirt does the same thing Actually nice $30 shoes are fine. Are they so special because they are $100? Tshirts and shirts are not the same thing.....or blouses and tshirts for that matter. I don't like tshirts and never wear them. |

| 1423959 | 2016-08-03 20:38:00 | $30 vs $100 shoes - if you are buying for durability rather than fashion, the price can make a big difference. I have a couple of pairs of expensive (more than $100) shoes that I have had for years and they are still perfectly good looking and serviceable and comfortable. I would not expect to be able to say the same about $30 shoes. I wouldn't be buying $100 jandals though. The protective qualities of baseball caps can be questionable. A few months ago I saw a completely bald man who had obviously been wearing a baseball cap out in the sun. He had a perfect half-moon of red at the back of his head, presumably from the gap for the adjusting strap. |

Cheap leather shoes can last (most dont though) . The issue I found is with shoes that are glued, not stitched . The glue doesnt last . I go for stitched shoes now, but even they are only good for a year. While it will still do its job,as a shoe, after a year or so the leather upper is starting to look not as nice as a business shoe needs to $30 sneakers do last years ,they dont fall apart . Ive some $30 sneakers 15 years old. A cap isnt a safety protective , 100% UV body armour against UV . Its just silly to ridicule a cap because of that. It is better than no hat at all. It keeps the sun off my face . Even with a stupid lookin wide brimmed hat, out in the sun all day I'll still get burnt . But really, anti cap : its all about a grumpy old man rant.... look at those young people. Look at what they are wearing. Back in my day .... or : I dont like the modern fashion/trends , so therefore they are stupid. Back in my day...... :punk |

| 1423961 | 2016-08-03 22:31:00 | Quite right Tony, I walk every day with a friend who buys $20-30 shoes to my $100+ shoes. I get 2 years with great comfort out of mine. He goes through around 4-5 pairs in that time and is always moaning about his feet hurting. 'nuff said!!!! Ken :) |

Sorry if I touched a nerve. |
