I understand that modern outer layers are more functional. A leather jacket, for example, can be dressed up or down so as to be worn in a variety of situations. It is also better at keeping you warm.

However, I think capes/cloaks are more aesthetically pleasing garments. It also feels good to have the fabric flowing around you as you walk. But what do you think?

Surely you know there are other options than just "fedora" or "yarmulke."

Cowboy hat? :-P

But I am open to suggestions if you have any...

In addition to the usual ubiquitous collection of random baseball caps, I also have a top hat.

I figure if I'm going to be lumped in with somebody, I'd rather it be the steampunkers than the neckbeards.

Here's a few that I think are probably more fashionable than a fedora:

Baseball cap, pork pie hat, knit hat (e.g. skull cap, watch cap, beanie), docker cap, scally cap, newsboy hat, ivy cap, ascot, bucket hat.

That's a great list.

And almost every one of those is likely to work better for OP, work with more outfits, etc, and have less of a stigma than a fedora.

Just a quick note that in the USA, unless there is a sports logo on it, cap = MAGA hat, sorry, dems the rules.

cap

But Breaking Bad hat, now that is a damn fine argument that you made there!? :-P

it
