Wandered up the hill with the Boyf to check out a gym last night. We’d both thought to apply hattage before leaving (it’s getting cold, and any excuse will do), just after we’d left M&S i look at the Boyf and think to myself – wow he really looks like a Muswell Hill dad in that baseball cap. You know the sort – a moneyed type who dresses well and youngish but chooses to top it off with what he thinks is a cool young persons cap.
The Boyf clocks me looking at him and says ‘so what do you reckon’ whilst smoothing the front of the cap. So I say (diplomatically), ‘i’m not really into baseball caps’ and he replies ‘this isn’t a baseball cap, its a military style hat’. So i say ‘oooo-kay, then i’m not really into caps like that’. he replies ‘but you have the other Carhartt one that I gave you which is really similar’ at which point i replied ‘yeah but that isn’t your military style Carhartt hat’. He removes the hat and exclaims ‘what tha…?’. Turns out he had grabbed a crappy ole baseball cap he got free at a conference instead of his really nice Carhartt hat and up until that point he’d been thinking he was looking prettty coooool….. I’m still laughing about it this morning.
