The Hipster Way Episode One: A New Hope... I Mean Hat.

For the first issue of The HipsterWAY (A feature that teaches you how to EXUDE hipster) we start at the top, the flex-fit hat.

The key of wearing a hipster-esque hat is staying ironic and 'original'. Yes hipsters like sports, but rarely do they wear contraband from their beloved team. Hipsters and sports is another topic all together.
Now it really does not matter where the hat is positioned, just whatever fits you. Just don't look too goofy.

Example: I am an avid TrailBlazer fan, but i wear a SF Giants, LA Dodgers, or Pittsburgh Pirtates hat.



The worse the team or more obscure the better (bonus for European sports).


This key of this hat is keeping the bill flat, do I need to repeat that? keep the bill flat. The curve of the bill is for people who play baseball. Hipsters don't play 'sports' at least competitively, unless you can roll your pant leg up. The curved bill is a symptom of playing sports like baseball, the progression from the baseball cap to a hipster statment is pretty simple.


Baseball hat>>>>Gangsta hat>>>>>>>>Hipster statement


Ok, to make it simple here is a math equation on how to pick out a hat.

(Losses-Wins)*Sport bonus[*2 for baseball *10 for NHL]-degree of hat bend+the your personal knoweldge of that team (out of 100, 100 being no knowledge)

So for a Pittsburgh hat

(95-67)*2-0+95=151

If its above 100 then your cleared to wear that hat.
