      1. A thread on hats & public attitudes: These are the two hats I wear. Now, anyone wearing ay hat other than a baseball cap in contemporary Britain will be viewed as somewhat of a twat, but public reactions vary and I’ll explain why here.pic.twitter.com/7htDf27Mst

      2. In the first instance, people hate difference bc it suggests that you think you’re better than other people. The more democratic a society becomes, as the UK is becoming, the less tolerant it is of difference bc it suggests inequality. That’s why the English eccentric died.

      3. A figure like Quentin Crisp would probably be less tolerated today than he was in the past. This means that any fashion statement outside proscribed corporate norms will provoke public hostility.pic.twitter.com/DJnD9pOrJ2

      4. This hat is more commonly worn, usually by older men. I bought it from a big department store. People jeer at this hat because you look rich. In 2011, the riots burned “the boss cars” (i.e. BMWs). People, rightly, hate bosses. You’ll be sneered on that basis.pic.twitter.com/2uNwsDnmXN

      5. Especially if you’re younger, bc they think you don’t really have the power your status signal claims. It’s a target for tramps up to quite middle class people. The reaction to this hat (a trilby, not a fedora) is different.pic.twitter.com/jf89AJL8cz

      6. I bought it from a specialist store. People are afraid of me when I wear this hat, because it’s so odd and different in contemporary Britain. Some people actually edge away. The reason is simple. They think, “If he’s crazy enough to wear that he might do ANYTHING.”pic.twitter.com/1nBdIAcG0e

          7. Online, of course, people think it’s a fedora and make connections to the stereotypical pedantic atheist. So you see, if you go far enough out, even in a non-threatening way, people become scared rather than cheeking you.
