At what age does someone become old and start wearing flat caps and a scarf

[fossyant]

Seriously.

One BIL started late 40's and my other BIL is 60. Thought you only did that if you were really old.

Mid 40s for me, only because Mrs D detests my grubby baseball cap habit.

I recall my father wearing felt Ascot caps when he was as young as about 40. I found a white flat cap like golfers wear by the cairn on St Sunday Crag when I was about 37, and occasionally wore it as a sun hat, but other than that I use woolly hats and/or hoods.

Never for me!

Horrible looking things.

Lots of young lads got a bit excited bt Peaky Blinders and started wearing them, look stupid, but all think they're Brummie gangsters

nowt wrong with a flat cap and muffler, when you take the whippet for a walk to the pub,

Around 60 when I started regularly wearing a cap - a Stihl trade cap. When it's cold I wear a beanie. When it's hot I wear a wide rimmed safari type hat. I love being an old fart and annoying the grandkids. However, I've not reached the age where I have to keep telling people - any people - what age I am. THAT'S the true mark of someone who's old.

About three years ago,due to the cold on my bald head.

Early 40s, though this is less to do with my age and more that one of them was my dads old hat and I wanted to wear it to be reminded of him. Bit soppy perhaps but that's why!

Never worn a scarf though, too much messing around.

I started wearing a flat cap five to ten years ago, so 46-51. I sometimes try to get away with wearing a proper hat, a Trilby or a Homborg like Churchill wore.

The problem with caps is I keep losing them.

I thought that was telling people how old you're going to be soon, as in a 79 year old saying "I'll be 80 soon"

At 63 I still have a full head of hair so no flat cap necessary. 😛
