Usually a Washington National cap.
My normal winter hat is a beanie. This is not distinctive hereabouts.
Bucket hat for fishing. Fedora for workdays in winter or when sitting in the East of a Masonic Lodge. Bike helmet for riding or if wife is ticked off.
During the coldest parts of winter, I’ll wear my Stormy Kromer in spite of all the Elmer Fudd references. Outside of that, I’ll wear an occasional baseball cap but probably 90%, I’m bare headed.
Yup, mine are official, too. I have some Colorado Rockies caps and a variety of D’Backs caps.
I started wearing a hat for identification. A friend located me once at a Oakland A’s game. He was on the upper level and spotted my cowboy stile hat. Really more of a Fedora.
I have two Fedora that I normally wear. Work and dress.
Then I have wide brim Stenson that I wear if I am going to be outside much in sunny weather. I lost the pigmataion in my skin and burn really easy.
And finally my really nice dress up cowboy hat.
In winter, a woolen tuque that my sister knit for me.
On the golf course, a Denver Broncos baseball cap that I’ve worn for years when golfing.
For a good long walk or hike, especially in the spring or fall, my Stetson “Mountain Sky.” Looks great and fits perfectly.
I began to wear hats when my top got thin (now it is pretty much gone, like Riff Raff). I wear a cowboy hat most of the time. For some reason, I feel like I look terrible in other styles of hat.
The current one is a plasticized straw Justin. It’s waterproof, also protects my ears from the sun/rain, and I can attest that it will absorb quite a bit of impact when you hit your head.
Just about the only time it’s not practical is when you’re driving a car, and I don’t really need a hat then. It’s also not terribly warm by itself, but does fit over a thin hood.
Right now. I have three hats.
One is a black woolen beret. I’ve worn a beret on-and-off for twenty or so years.
Then there’s my wide-brimmed brown felt adventure hat, which looks somewhat like a cowboy hat but not really.
Last but not least, I’ve got a San Francisco Giants cap (go, Giants!) from a company called American Needle. It’s real good quality for a ball cap, dark blue with gold stitching, and I always wear it when we go to Giants games.
Too many baseball-style caps to mention, though the primary ones I wear are from the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers, and Toronto Argonauts (Canadian football team). As the hair on the top of my head is thin, I’ll always have a cap to wear if I’m going to be outside for any length of time in the warmer months.
If I’m outside in cold weather, I’ll wear a knit cap, or, if it’s really cold, I wear my fur “Mad Bomber” hat.
I also have an Indiana Jones fedora, though I don’t wear that too often.
Black baseball cap with the logo of the Boston and Maine Railroad.
95% of the time it’s a baseball style hat. I have 50+ to choose from. On occasion I’ll wear my leather Aussie style hat, particularly for hiking or rainy weather.
I used to wear hats all the time. Then I got this and I love love love it.
During hockey season I wear one of 8 St Louis Blues hats that I own, changing it only after a loss. The beginning of this year I was switching them out like crazy…Thankfully I know have my favorite after an 11 game win streak.
In the three month off season I wear one of many of my craft bear ball caps.
I also have a thick head of hair at 58 years old, but I like hats and am not ashamed of it, despite hipster fedora jokes.
I used to wear a late-era Brooklyn Dodgers cap and a Yale baseball cap, both Navy blue with white insignia…sorry, I meant YALE blue. But balding co-workers told me I had no business wearing them as baseball caps are essentially “baldy hats.”
In cold weather I wear a woolen Austrian farmer’s hat, a gift from Little Pianola during the year she spent working in Krems an Der Donau, a small city about 40 miles west of Vienna. Austria does lots of agriculture, and different districts wear various styles…more rural ones tend toward the High Romburg Tyrolean. Since Krems is pretty urban, my hat is a dark brown fedora type (although I wear the back brim down) with thick worsted yarn instead of a hatband.
In in between seasons, like now, I wear a dark brown leather Freewheelin’ Franklin style cowboy/hippie hat I found in a biker shop in rural Northern California.
I’ve had several Donegal flat caps and lost them or left them in bars one after the other. When I was in London last year I replaced them with a flat tweed cap from Christy’s, the famous hatter, costing about four times a much as any cap I’ve bought in Ireland. My standing in the IRA is currently under review.
I have a black porkpie I got in San Francisco many years ago which I am self-conscious about, as my Dad (born 1922, solid hat-era guy) told me in my 30s that it was a “YOUNG man’s hat.”
I own a pearl-grey felt bowler which is also too weird for everyday wear, but is useful for weirdo occasions. It was part of my all black/white/grey ensemble when I went to an art show opening to meet underground cartoonist Art Speigelman (who sported a black fedora).]
When the weather gets hot I wanna get myself a broad-brimmed straw hat to keep the sun off me and shade my eyes. I’m thinking about driving down to Lancaster county to find an Amish hat like kopek’s.
In the winter (and on colder spring/fall days), I wear a black ski cap which has gray and red stripes.
When I need protection from the sun, I sport either my “dog-walking cap” (which is emblazoned with the word WOOF on a paw-print background) or a Pittsburgh Penguins baseball cap. Although I grew up in Cleveland and don’t follow hockey, I was given the latter cap by someone who doesn’t normally wear hats but had bought it when she was driving in Pennsylvania and needed some protection from the afternoon glare.
A navy blue Dodgers hat? Not Dodger blue (royal blue)?
You’re right. It was a brighter blue than the Eli cap. Another reason I don’t wear it; I prefer a more somber palette.
I don’t actually have an Eli cap. I have a maroon one from the “other place” that I picked up at a conference I attended.
Plus, lots of green Sask Roughrider caps.
But no watermelon helmets.
