Here are some of the most popular hats throughout gentleman history. Be able to distinguish a Pork Pie from a Campaign hat and you’re one step closer to being a tailored gentleman. TTG

About the bolded
I’m pretty sure it’s more like some white dude saw it on a rapper and thought “I’ll be a good fan if I wear those/People will think I’m cool like him”. It’s misguided, but right now (us) white people are obsessed with gold because of Rocky, Kanye and so forth …
I think it’s really inappropriate to dismiss the personal lived experience of PoC like that. There is a LONG history of African American culture being either ridiculed or appropriated by white people in the U.S. and it’s not a form of admiration (that’s an excuse people use for cultural appropriation) it’s yet another way white supremacy forces whiteness upon people of colour; by stripping them of their identities and culture. It’s no accident; it’s racism.
I really need people to stop acting like this is just an isolated incident and it hasn’t happened before (and continues to happen).
