If you want to get a head, get a hat.

Very sunny with outbreaks of bullets and shrapnel. Something in Kevlar would be sensible.

I have. I already posted the hat I got there.

I love my herring bone flat cap.

I love hats. People don’t wear enough hats and there are not enough pictures in this thread.
My dad used to use the “if you want to get ahead, get a hat” line. I use it. My kids have started using it.
The world would be a better place if more people wore hats.

I recently got back into hats after burning my fivehead in San Francisco and needing to keep the sun off my face. So I have a snapback for sun and rain to keep them off my face or when I can't be arsed to do my mohawk.
Have always been a beanie guy in winter because they are practical and for some reason I get really painful earache when it's cold and windy.
Proper serious hats though... I mean I usually wear a hoodie and dickies so my dress sense is not grown up enough for that unless I'm in work mode. I think I'd get a lot of stick from the lads in the office if I tried to pull off a fedora.

No, you’ve lost me, but apparently fedoras have an ‘image’ problem now. Can’t say I was ever aware of that.
Only worn one once anyway, for a vintage look event.

If I saw someone wearing a trilby not as part of fancy dress, I’d massively cringe. It’s not the 2000s anymore, you’re not Pete Doherty.
Straw hat or caps on holiday are fine, warm hats in winter also fine. I don’t get this whole trucker cap fashion, I thought that died a death too.

Tricorns and capes would make the world even better still.

having very little / no hair I rely on hats to protect the old noggin

Panama hat or wide-brimmed floppy hat (not sure what they're called) in the summer and (fake) fur hat or beanie in the winter. I have a ushanka but it's never been cold enough over here to wear it. I wore a silk balaclava as a base layer when I visited Norway. I also have a fedora.
Here in Aberdeen it doesn't normally get that cold thanks to being on the coast, but inland it can get seriously nippy.
The big problem with hats is not in wearing them but in taking them off: you have to store them somewhere, so unless they can be left in the car or folded up and put into a pocket or backpack they're a nuisance when you go out.

Actually, the west coast is milder because of the Gulf Stream. My family live in the Outer Hebridies. Frost and snow are rare.
I was there at the end of August. It was lovely. But the landscape is pretty wind-blasted. You get the winds straight across the Atlantic. Aberdeen is significantly sheltered.
