GR translation: manly crepe of an overseas cap

[Bekah]

I too was kind of wondering about if that's what the reference meant.   But the hat (not the guy) in the photo looks manly enough to me and what I noticed is that it has a "knifing forward" look to it.   The hat is on a guy in the film,  right?
