I look at it as a being like a turn signal, except instead of indicating the direction they're going to turn it indicates that they're a douchebag. No different than flat billed ball caps and white framed Oakley's. It says everything you need to know without a word spoken. so next shot show I should wear a flat brimmed hat and white oakleys if I want any respect? check |

LOL, I don't know about the rest of that shit, but pretending that one man shouldn't look another in the eye when conducting business, is some of the most fertile horse shit I've ever read on ARFCOM Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
*snip* One of the more noted human responses of highly intelligent people is to avoid eye contact - you have to EARN it with a proven relationship that has no backstabbing or constant aggression to establish dominance. Why? Because that is how they test YOU to see if you are smart enough to recognize it, and respond in kind, parsing the meaning of the spoken word. Not posturing, chest thumping, and blading at 45 to establish rank. *snip*. Lack of eye contact is a sign of highly intellegent people? I call bullshit. |

I have a Kangol wool flat cap I stuff in my bag when I go to work (I work nights) when it will be cold in the morning when I leave. Keeps my noggin nice and warm when it's chilly.
I've got a couple of the Kangol Ventair caps that are pretty nice in warmer weather, but I still don't wear them all that much. Thinning hair and wanting to prevent burning my noggin in the sun lead to wanting a good cap. I have some ballcaps... shit, in fact I have too many. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I don't wear hats unless I'm welding/cutting, but nice try. There are so many grown men here that concern themselves of the business of others to the point that I think this is morning TV. Dress appropriately Remove your hat Don't sit down until the interviewer sits down Don't lean back in the chair as if you're lounging around Research the company you're applying for so it shows you actually giver a fuck about the company and job you're applying for. Don't swear. If you need any further help with how to act in an interview, I'll be more than happy to help.

A Flat Cap is extremely useful in that it will fold flat and you can drop it into a top coat pocket to have with you in the event of cold, mist, and rain. In the event you have to go inside, you can put it back in the pocket. Since there are no hat checks in restaurants, etc., anymore, the Flat Cap solves the problem of where to put your hat when indoors.
