Camo baseball cap. I only wore it to go dove hunting. Only other hat I wear is a beanie if it's cold.

I wear a Tilley Airflo pretty much any time I am outside.

I need a wide broom to protect my eyes from the sun (early cataracts). I need a hat that is useful for outdoor fun but also looks good around town. I do not want to worry about rain or have a lot of upkeep.

I wash my Tilley in the machine. I get compliments everywhere I go. It works great on the trail, and looks great paired with a sport coat for a country-boy-on-the-town sort of look. I can't recommend that hat enough.

Does a bike helmet count? If it does, then that. Otherwise, warm beanie whenever it was last cold.

Plain grey ball cap every time I step outdoors in anything less than smart casual. Slip slop slap and slide, kids.

I wear a cap every day

This while hiking, but have been considering a switch to this.

ID: A blue baseball cap with the Walmart logo, a stylized yellow asterisk, embroidered in the middle. It is part of the employee uniform

This sexy little thing

Stetson straw wheat gambler hat

A Stetson straw wheat gambler hat. I have a lot of hats, but this one allows for maximum air flow.

This old thing - a Barmah Squashy hate, made from Kangaroo leather. I clearly don't regularly treat it with leather conditioner like they tell you to.

This hat is my constant companion whenever I go camping. We're literally tomorrow leaving for a three week trip through the Outback, so it's about to get a lot of use.

A beanie in the fall because I look cute in it

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

If head wraps/scarves count, then that.

I frequently wear a flatcap.

United States Forest service baseball cap.

Baseball cap! Wearing it now actually. It has a mesh back and a gray front with my state's shape on it patterned with a rainbow 🌈

[–] CodingCarpenter@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Trucker cap I got when I saw the dead south

Quite a while ago, actually, maybe a month or so. It was a straw hat that I got from Italy.

A beanie in the winter because it was cold outside

I bought a Frankenstein costume hat from Amazon the other day.

elope Frankenstein Plush Costume... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GSC43S8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

An Akubra which I have had for about 18 years. It's like a cowboy hat but Australian and made from rabbit fur felt.

Usually a ball cap of some variety, I have a couple.

It was probably my favorite, a custom one a friend got me that has "Mrs Lovett's meat pies" on it. Custom because my giant dome made the ones that were available from the show itself look ridiculous lol.

There's also a pride hat, a pirate hat with "surrender the booty" stitched in small print above the back band, a random ebay find with Bacchus on it, and one that's just plain black.

I've got a boonie hat that I use when it's raining, and a couple of dressier ones that look nice when I have to/should wear a suit.

After my hairline started receding and I got my first sunburn, me and hats became friends lol.

Not sure. Either my 1890s mailman cap, my medieval nasal helmet or my cowboy hat.

Strawhat in the Summer

[–] Shdwdrgn@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Green felt top hat with a size tag stuck in the band. Oof that's been about 20 years ago now.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

wide brimmed bucket hat, for sun protection.

[–] Sumocat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Kangol flat cap, gray. I alternate between that and a beige flat cap with a closer fit, which is the one that got me into flat caps.

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Baseball cap! Been getting more into them lately after never really wearing hats. I started because a friend said they’re useful for hiking, but after getting compliments I started just wearing them in general as well.

baseball cap yesterday while playing disc golf

OMG. I was playing today but I don't know what the hat is called. It has a brim and little holes for air. I guess it's kind of like a Safari hat.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why weren't you wearing a disc golf cap?

[–] comfyquaker@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

what constitutes for a disc golf cap? Honestly didn’t know a thing existed

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Well if there's a baseball cap and bowling shoes and tennis bracelets then there's surely some sort of attire unique to that activity

Military style cap, black, everytime I leave the house because I'm bald. Beanie in winter.

[–] Vanth@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

Ball cap while hiking. Not for the sun so much, more for the ticks to keep them out of my hair.

[–] ZapBeebz_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Baseball cap at a baseball game over the weekend, or a hard hat at work last night, depending if you count that as a hat

[–] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I wear a Cadet/Radar cap most of times I'm out. I have a flat cap I wear sometimes.

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Last night. It was a Bass Pro Shops hat I wear in the yard or on walks. They go to shit real fast, but they are cheap as shit.

However, I have a rope brim hat I bought at Tootsie's in Nashville. That's my fancy hat.

Rainbow Pride Parade sunhat

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Tie-dyed baseball cap.

It was a beanie and also quite some time ago. I don't really like to wear hats.
