comfort hat

A hat that's permanently worn in public by men in their 20s and 30s that are going bald, but aren't ready to show the world that they're bald.

Person 1: "I haven't seen Larry without a hat in 5 years."
Person 2: "It's his comfort hat. He's not ready to show the world that he's bald"

Person 1: "He should just go bald sometimes without a hat. Bald is beautiful."
person 2: "He should be like Jeff and just accept that he's bald. Jeff doesn't wear a comfort hat. Sometimes he wears a hat--but he also goes out in public bald and hatless."
