Had one of these for the last 20 years, very faded now, been all over the world with me.
But need something tidier.

Ooh, I like the tarp hats - suitably shabby. I wonder if the Fidel hat is too "Coldplay".

Battered old medium brimTilley here, worn Popeye Doyle style. Reckon it must be approaching 20 years old. Liking the hemp version, but the damn thing is indestructible.

My dad was out in Cyprus for his national service. He is now having seemingly non stop treatments for some really ugly looking cancerous growths on his head.
Hats are a good idea. No matter how crap the hat it's better than what my dad has on his head.

I used to wear baseball hats all the time, kept my thinning top from getting sunburned, and a decent, well curved peak to keep sun and rain off my glasses or sunnies. Then got one of those Castro, forage-style caps, but a Trek one, as I rode a Remedy 66, and it was free, now I wear Tilly hats in the winter, a Canadian Winter one, and a waxed cotton one, but most of the time I wear a cheap six-panel duckbill, who's started black, and is now sort of slate grey, and is fraying a bit round the bill. Dead comfy, does everything a baseball hat did, but is a bit more conventional and understated style-wise.
something like these:

A bit like the old-skool flat 'at, but head-shaped. 😀

And most recently one of these (from Cotswolds Outdoor)for motorbike weekend duties, and work.

Almost forgot... there is also one of these for special occasions (and cos I used to be an archaeologist)
