beanie hats - pompom / ponpon

[keltoi]

let's talk some more fashion!

 

i always thought it was pompom but i just saw this...

 

Volcom Art Ponpon Beanie - Green

 

 

so firstly, which is it? pompom or ponpon?

 

and (b), what's the general watmm opinion on pompom beanies? i haven't had a hat with a pompom/ponpon since i was about 17. i think i could maybe still rock a small pompom without feeling too much like an oversized child or christmas elf. the one above is possibly too large for me.

 

and [3], what are you keeping your head warm with this winter?

 

and finally, keep your gay canadian toques out of this thread essines!

i buy my winter hats at the gas station. they have a surprisingly extensive collection of cheap bullshit that i am free to lose and forget about forever with no worries.

[essines]

Fuck you keltoi. Fuck you for not saying toque. Fuck all of you for not knowing what a toque is. I wear toques. I even wear beanie styled toques, but toques none the less. Fuck you.

 

Toques.

 

 

PS I actually love you keltoi, but fuck not wearing a toque.

 

Also it is pom pom. Don't fuck with it.

 

I fucking hate you keltoi.

[oscillik]

it is pom pom

 

i think someone hit the wrong key when writing up that description

[baph]

If it was a ponpon it would be awesome, like

 

But it's not.

 

It's not.

[essines]

Holy shit the first ten seconds are amazing. Pon pon has been validated.

Ha, I saw the title of the thread, and was hoping essines would drop in and lay the smack down.

 

And yea, Pom pom. I think this winter I'll wear one of those douchey looking headbands. Looks good with my hair.

i have almost purchased this twice

 

 

 

but i have a nice coal brim beanie kind of like this one, it is super warm

In the United States south and midwest, especially Appalachia, it is often called a "toboggan".

 

wtf

 

[spratters]

Hats with bobbles on top or tassels attached somehow are usually warn by people who are shit at skiing.

In Massachusetts we'd call that sled a toboggan. But New England is basically just Canada anyway. Except for Connecticut. I don't know what the fuck is going on with Connecticut.

I wear brimmed beanies quite often (almost everyday) in the colder months. I have a gray one now, It's the second one I've gone through. Warm, comfortable, stylish, and functional

i'm wearing a toque...

 

canadian translation: i just came out.

[essines]

i luv u

[keltoi]

i know it deep in my heart

[Guest AcrossCanyons]

i think they are generally a bit childish (unless you ski - then it's all good.)

[essines]

I wear them all year. Some days i just don't feel like washing my hair or tying it back so a toque holds my shit down. baseball caps don't fit my head.

 

Also it seems like they are more accepted here in Canada than anywhere else. You'd get beat telling a Canadian toques are childish.

It doesn't feel cold enough for toquing just yet. I have a bulbous dome like Clarence Boddicker, but with enough insulation on top to keep my bod at a decent temperature. The hat I do own though, does have a pompom (typically, if asked, I would call it a bobble, mind you) and I am probably bad at skiing.

[delet...]

It's a beanie with a pom pom on top. As opposed to a tom tom, the direction finding beanie or nom nom, the perfect interaction with China Chow beanie.

i think he meant pompoms are childish. and that's my dilemma with them.

 

chris moss manages to carry it off though... a bit "special needs" looking but he rocks the pompom with style. (jk) i mean this in the nicest possible way.

yeah, i remember that from living in north carolina. it's funny, because the etymology is so obvious yet so stupid.

[Guest Iain C]

I'm not opposed to the beanie if it's cold... the pompom is a step too far though. Way too far.
