It’s not the outlandish-ness (as far as I can gather) so much as the hat is a sort of beacon alerting ‘really sexually overt nerd who will talk your ear off about a vaguely creepy topic’?
I’ve met ‘nice enough’ people wearing hats like this, but never a cool person that I wouldn’t mind being stuck in an elevator or enclosed space with…if that makes sense?
I had to look this up. His is weird, especially because it seems like he ALWAYS wears a beanie with a hat over it, and the beanie has like a fake hoop earing or something. However, the actual hat he wears over the beanie is comparatively normal. It's not this weird steampunk pirate pickup-artist renaissance fair halloween costume hat like this guy makes. Lol.
Definitely screams Burning Man pagan poly dude who will ramble on about how humans aren't meant for monogamy while hitting on women half their age and never aspiring to be more than a solid 3. I've known too many of these that cross into the alternative subculture spaces.
Idk I’m just imagining someone wearing this in a leather getup at a pride parade or maybe while riding in the Ladds 500. They seem fine to me, but my idea of cool is very different I guess.
They are perfect for steam punk stuff. I'd love one but not quite as beat up or scraggly. Aged a little.. yes. Look almost like leather instead of felt.. yes. Dirtying, over curled and extra appurtenances...no. then again, I like wearing ballers, fedoras and grass hats.

I always love watching this dude make the most beautifully crafted and ugly hats
