great out of doors is uncivilized. If you were civilized you would know
this much at least. But you are a barbarian and a savage who goes about
the world uncovered. You belong in New Guinea, not the Western World.
In the good old days, a gentleman of culture and leisure such as myself
would not be caught dead out of doors without SOMETHING on his blasted
head. I blame President Kennedy for setting in motion this penchant for
not wearing anything on your blasted head. Frank, I urge you, put
SOMETHING on that blasted head of yours, most especially when you are
riding your bike. Otherwise, you will look like the dork and the jerk
that you are.
I am also of the notion that grown men should not be wearing baseball
style of caps. They are for nerdy teenagers, not dignified men of the
world. Go back to the 1930's if you would know what we should be wearing
on our blasted heads.
I suppose that means we need to wear a wool suit, tie and spats, with
Oxfords to go along with that fedora. I spend 6 months of the year
wearing a touque outside, typically wear a ball cap during the summer,
when being active. They keep the sun off your head, the sun out of your
eyes, work well for keeping rain out of your eyes as well.
I do not like any kind of caps. Hats are what is called for for grown men.
Caps are for kids. Men wearing caps look absurd. They look dorky and jerky.
In winter, I would rather be a warm dork, then, well there has never
been a proper hat, designed for winter use, except maybe those Russian
things made from dead animal fur. They are heavy, and really kind of ugly.

jeans are especially hideous.The fatter and uglier we get, the worse we
dress. The only solution is the grave when the world will be rid of our
loathsome presence.
There is, of course, a solution to that, more human powered miles, fewer
car miles. The more calories you burn, given the same amount of food,
the less weight you need to worry about.
Quoted message said:I refer you to the good old days of the 1930's and 1940's when men looked
like men with proper hats on their heads. Apparently those days are gone
forever and we are doomed to go into the future looking like very old kids
with beanies on our heads and blue jeans on our asses. It is really quite
laughable.
If one does no physical activity faster then a walk or cycles at less
then 7MPH, and does so only when the temperature is between 40F and 75F
then clothing from those days would make sense. Mind you the
practicality of denim outside of those temperature regions, also doesn't
make sense, because it chaffs in the summer, and since it's cotton, it
simply gets cold and wet in winter.
One thing we have really gained, recently is activity centred clothing,
where the way you dress, is indictive of activity, the stuffed shirt can
wear a shirt and tie. The cyclist can wear cycling clothes, the hiker
can wear hiking clothes (other then the pocket placement, and no need of
a chamios) this is similar to cycling clothing.
