When I was in the East I wore the hat I bought in Venice.
It was a college trip for my daughter, I went as a chaperone, having loved Italy while training there in the National Guard. The school does trips in January, as the costs are much less, but it was COOO-OOOLD; Venice, of course, being right on the water.
I'm not much of a hat guy, but I asked a recommendation of the hotel desk clerk and went to a mens' store and bought a hat and gloves. It is amazing how much a cheap hat will warm you up.

I am not much of a hat guy either, but sadly I don't have as much sun protection on top as I once had. Therefore I am now the proud owner of a Tilley Endurables hat.
Baseball hats don't protect the neck, although I still own a lot of them. The Tilley hat is even insured against loss.

I own a fedora, several tams, cavalier hat, stetson, and a medieval helmet. I suffer that same lack of sun protection as I have grow up through my hair, the rest is at home on a shoebox.

I have a nice fedora that I have worn as Master in the past but I have always liked porkpies (I almost purchased the "Frank Sinatra" porkpie but they didn't have my size), and the wife likes how I look in them (I guess) , so a porkpie it is .
I would wear my Stetson Tyler cowboy hat but it has been stomped by horses , dropped on beer soaked floors more times than I care to count and I have even slept on it (passed out) so it is not the best hat to be wearing in lodge . I reshaped it to suit my tastes and love that hat , a lot of good memories go along with that old hat .

LOL , the wife complains about my hair loss . It is not bad YET , but it is getting there .
I have worn ball caps since I was 7 years old and have a massive ball cap collection . I have 2 boxes that those old "fat back" 36" TVs came in filled to the brim with ball caps and I have all my favorites all over the house . I figured it was time to wear a hat (porkpie) that looks good when "fairly" dressed up .
