Do you wear your Breitling caps when you go out? I think having the wings on the cap looks cool to wear. I don't intend to wear it with a Ling on my wrist or else I will look like an ambassador wannabe:p But I am not sure if wearing a Breitling cap looks too cocky or loud.

Each to his own. I don't wear mine, but I've been at airshows and seen lots of others wearing theirs. It's about personal choice and what you feel comfortable with.

I have a few which hang on the wall beside my flight sim in my "Den."

I have one I wear at air shows. That's pretty beaten up. And I always wear my Emergency with it.

I think it's fine to do that. Better that than wear a Citizen and people (Who even could care less) think you are a wannabe.

I'm proud to own my watch. Don't mind if anyone thinks that might be showing off.

I don't own one, but if I did I think I would leave it at home. Not sure, but the whole cap thing in the current design guise is just a little too in my face for me. Perhaps a simple winged B on the side or very very small one in the front might get more of my attention, but being soooo large on a basic tractor cap does nothing for me.

The coolest caps I have ever seen are pictures of B29 crews in the pacific who wore what appeared to be baseball caps of the time. Talking WW2 and must have been issue. Large peak and small head fit all added to a well proportioned cap with a fit purpose. They looked cool.

First of all, I wear hats of all types. I wear sports team hats, clothing line hats, outdoor activity hats automotive, motorcycle hats and yes I wear my Breitling hat. The hats I wear are for teams, clothing lines, activities and watches that I am a fan of.

If I had an Omega hat I would wear it too. But I'm sure if Rolex made a hat it would be ugly green.. So I probably wouldn't wear a rolex hat. LOL

When your bald you gotta protect the top of your head. :) I spend allot of time outside in Arizona, hats are required wear here.

From time to time I wear my Breitling cap. I don't mind about the "showing off" thing as I think most people aren't aware that you only can own a Breitling cap by buying a Breitling watch. Non WIS people will probably just think you're wearing "a hat".

My breitling hat is still in the postage box that they sent it to me in. I have a glashutte original one as well stuffed in a drawer somewhere. So for me, not really. Its not a bad looking hat though, I've just never had any interest in wearing it.

I have one I wear when I cut the grass and only after I went over the yellow Breitling wings and lettering with a black marker. :)

I wear hats mostly on the weekends. I have a couple(Nike, Addidas, AOPA etc) but only wear my Ling hat to aviation themed events; namely air shows/when I go flying.

When I wear hats, they're usually vintage fedoras. But the Breitling cap is my usual go-to for walking the dogs in the summer. Love the size/proportion of the brim -- as far as ball caps go, I really like them!
