Is this chavvy?
I get why you'd think it but I think its more of a subtle modern version that the old block letter gold MUM necklaces.

He just told me to take it off because he doesn't like it. He was being petty because he brought a weird hat (that made him look like he was wearing a stiff condom on his head) last week and I politely and subtly asked him to wear the woolly hat and said it's more weather appropriate but really it wasn't because of that its just made him look so silly, its more suited for the hipster look. OH style is generally just well he doesnt care and will wear anything, doesnt care what it looks like together. I asked him to not wear this hat that he got last week.

My necklace is hidden and under my top, it's not being viewed by everyone.

What's the actual point of the those condom hats? They don't cover the ears?

Seen a few men sporting them in town

The necklace is a really good idea as it might help you remember that you have children. It's so easy to forget.

I think a few men might wear hats to cover balding spots.

@hotmeatymilk

I’ve never understood name necklaces. Like Carrie on SATC – would she otherwise forget? When your kids are saying “Mum, mum, mum, dad’s wearing his condom hat again” do you check the necklace to remember it’s you they’re talking to?
I know- what's the point? But then I don't see the point of named relative birthday or Christmas cards.

@BigHuff

I immediately thought of one of those tiny fisherman beanies (docker beanie?), but I see this is a canvas(?) version. Does it look like the one in the picture, OP? I wonder if the type of hat has a name?
I quite like that. I don't like "named" necklaces at all.

If We are going out out both my husband and I check each other's outfits to make sure we're not doing something that either doesn't work or mainly that it doesn't have dirty marks or tips where we can't see. DH doesn't have a huge wardrobe and wears his clothes, especially trousers, to death.
