So, as my hair thins a bit I am needing a hat more and more often for watching sports, fishing etc. anything more than 20 minutes or so in the sun.
I am the least style or appearance knowledgeable person on earth, but even I can tell how much of a doof I look like in a baseball cap. The top of my head is really tall, and I have a big forehead. And a baseball cap just kind of emphasizes it by focusing on just how far my eyes and ears are below the cap bottom edge compared to normal humans. And the basic fishing floppy brim deally is even worse, it looks like I am hiding a couple phonebook under my hat.
Any body have any suggestions for those with an extra high pate? Hopefully cheap that I would have to care if it blew off on a boat, or got sweaty and needed to be replaced?
Nonsense. Trilbys look absurd on we men of large craniums. I think it is the skinny brim.
However, a nice panama hat works well on everyone. And it has enough brim to prevent sunburn.
For the boat, where being blown off is a real concern, I wear a Broner cap, I’m not sure of the correct name of the style, but it has a very long brim almost like a marlin fishing cap and a neck flap. It had a drawstring to tighten across the brow. My wife refers to it as the “Ass Hat.”
Straw cowboy hat. Inexpensive, easily replaced at your local western wear store, lightweight and cool, you can adjust the brim in several styles til you find one that suits your head shape and face.
