Nobody outside of teenagers have been seen in my area with them.

I have only seen boys wear them, not girls.
no...they are gangster-wanna-bes [img]tongue.gif[/img] . I've seen plenty of people like that wearing it...I'd never wear something like that, it's just too much

Beanies like that aren't gangsta, they're board wear, mainly snow wear, but the fashions cross over.

That's me stumped. I thought it was head wear!
You know, you could tie the strings together, turn it upside down and use it as a quaint little woolen handbag....just a thought.

More people wear them than you think. Whoever produced that hat stole it from the Andean Highlands and surrounding region.

A google image search for 'Quechua' reveals a variety of hats like that. Most are brighter though. To a lesser extent, 'Aymara', another Andean group, wears them too. My anthropology professor, who is from thereabouts, wore one lol.

It's all about culture, and maybe warmth. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Note that almost everyone wearing one has some pretty impressive mountains behind them.

LOL Charlie...note that some of the Aymara are wearing Bowler hats. Perhaps there's a hat schism we don't know about yet

Never liked those hats, but yeah I've seen plenty of guys wearing them. I prefer normal beanies.
