... Um..no...no not really.
You may be a fan of the Dead...granted, but " Deadheads" were ( more or less) the " tittle" bestowed upon those who traveled around from place to place sort of " following" the band as they toured...

No secret that many ladies prefer guys a little "metro". The average guy is a slobbering mess, so yeah a fancy boy with a scarf probably seems like a nice alternative.

I get it: i wore some pretty silly/awful stuff in high school/college for the same reason, but it doesnt make any of it any less silly...


I honestly don't understand what guys have against scarves, it adds a certain bit of sophistication when worn correctly. Obama wears a scarf and he looks aces when he does. And if the worlds most badass head of state, no not Obama, but this guy:



does it, then there is noting 'metro' about it.

I have nothing against scarves worn when it's cold, but when you see people walking around with them in the middle of July... just... WHY?!

A cape sound tacky and distinctly unhipster. Call it a cloak and you've just brought sexy back.

A cloak needs a hood.

Seeing as how through all this I've not really understood what a hipster is, I've decided this video will be my guideline.

And from it they seem decent chaps, patriotic and what not.

Scarves can be badass, if it's appropriately muted and of a sufficiently and manly enough grade of coarse wool. And of course, being below freezing outside helps.

If you're wearing a lavender silk scarf in August, and you're a guy, then you're doing it wrong and deserve to be mocked.

I wore a scarf when I was in Chicago in January last year. It kept my fething neck warm.

To do otherwise is silly and mock worthy.

I think skinny guys looks better in tight jeans, baggy jeans makes there legss look fat. Can you imagine Elvis Costello wearing "Bags".

So what would a hipster wargamer be like? Do they only play Second Edition WHFB with Wargames Foundry miniatures? "Malifaux was so much better before it got all mainstream."

Okay, fair enough. They get a pass. Do you know who doesn't get a pass? This guy:
