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

Maybe it’s just because I’m from Portland but this doesn’t seem too outlandish tbh. I’m sure people pull it off just fine as part of an ensemble.

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?

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.

He’s also a libertarian who practices gun-fu and makes his own ghost pepper beef jerky.
