There are several ways to wear a hat or a cap. A man may express himself in the pitch or tilt of a hat, but not with a helmet. It won't go on any other way. It sits level on the head, low over eyes and ears, low on the back of the neck. With your helmet on you are a mushroom in a bed of mushrooms.John Steinbeck
About This Quote
The same applies to a cap. The brim ought to be straight and level, not tilted forward or backward. It should sit level on the head, not higher or lower. If you tilt a cap, it looks like a mushroom on a bed of mushrooms.
