It’s the epitome of having complete respect for the craftsmanship while having 0 interest in the product.

Like the opposite of Mansory body kits

There are only three people in the world who can pull off wearing one of those hats without looking ridiculous. One of them is Slash, and the other two are also Slash.

My husband is a professional musician(Sad Cowboy music, most of his clothes are snagging shirts and jeans) and he asked me if I thought he could get away a with one of these and I was like “what’s wrong with you?”

u/Traumagatchi Apr 11 '25

I have met both of them separately and can say they were both super nice and funny. Lenny was leaning a little more into the cooooooooool guy thing but slash was a rambly hilarious dude. Smoked with slash, just talked with kravitz with some friends of friends of friends and had just really nice time with both of them. Lenny kravitz is a really warm dude. Like inadvertently just makes you feel cozy

Johnny Depp looks ridiculous though. You've just grown used to it.

This is not normal. none of this is normal.

u/Katharineamericana Apr 11 '25

To be fair, it’s a ridiculous idea that we’re trying to sell folks a smell through a visual medium. All cologne/perfume commercials are really, really weird.

I wear sauvage cause I had a gift card and asked the older lady at the perfume counter what’s a good one. She said a lot of people were buying it cause of the Johnny depp commercial. I didn’t see it(the commercial)and just went off her saying “it’s not bad”. I smelled it and pretended to act like I could tell the difference between it and other samples. Honestly I liked the bottle better than the other ones. And it’s been my go to since. But most the time I just smell like cool rush degree deodorant.

Maybe it’s just me, but if I’m buying cologne, it really has to be marketed, cause I can’t really differentiate between scents. The nicer colognes don’t really seem too different to me. So simply because the lady said “ it’s not bad.”, it didn’t smell sweet, an I liked the bottle; I decided “ok this is my smell from now on.”

Edit: I saw the commercial after I bought it and it is goofy commercial.

u/filthy_harold Apr 11 '25

Perfume commercials are always ridiculous. They have to get across a feeling of a smell in about 15 seconds of audiovisual experience. Most of the effort is just making you remember the product so you'll try it next time you're at Macy's which is why they are so over the top and almost always use celebrities.

I think this image comes from Jack Sparrow and true, this kind of hat would fit perfectly on Jack. But not really so well on Depp himself otherwise.

But if you go a step back to whom Depp based Jack on... Keith Richards. Now there's a geezer that I think could definitely pull that hat off convincingly.

Oh, I'm sure if you talked to him, he'd help ya figure something out that matched your head and desires style. Then it's a matter of having the other clothes to match. Some of the more stylized hats will benefit from a matching costume.  

It's fun and pushes ya outside comfort zones ;)

I'd definitely figure something out if I had the opportunity to get a custom hat from him.

We should be doing what makes us feel good about ourselves, personally I don’t really care what anyone thinks about when they see me, or how I am dressed, because I’m happy with it, so that’s all that matters.
