Go for it.

I wear a flat cap, which makes me look like a right ****, I don't see why I should be alone.

I never knew you were into line dancing, btw.

Stick it on the parcel shelf and drive through Liverpool.

Far better than those leather Australian bush hats I see lots of people wearing, get a black one, and it's really little different to a fedora.
Not a whole lot different to this one:

Do you have a farm the size of Surrey?

Do you now, or have you ever lived in Wooolamoolooo station?

if the answers to either of those questions is no...then Yes. Yes you will.

Get ahead get a hat. Definitely, I'd wear proper hats all the time if I could carry them off with a degree of aplomb.

I do have a flat cap though, is it OK for a Southerner to wear it?

At the risk of breaking your heart, your achy breaky heart, it's an emphatic Yes

Nothing wrong with a battered Akubra.

A brand new one with an equally gleamingly new Barbour and Hunters, however.....

Of course, CG.
Classless innit?

As a ****less youth I briefly affected a trilby, until one wag in the Stretford End fondly opined '****ing hell, Sherlock's turned up again'.

Harry, I too have pondered your hat dilemma. Tell you what I will if you will, how about that?

I like a hat & regularly brave ridicule from my friends and workmates .
When I wear the flat cap I tell them it's part of my cultural heritage . ๐Ÿ™‚
I think that one up there would be a step too far though. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Are you growing a mullet?

Be honest, we're all friends here.

As a big fan of the mid life crisis expressed through a totally unsuitable barnet, I feel your pain.

The fez or the bush hat?

The reason I need a hat is that I'm taking the cub pack camping in spring and feel that a daft hat would be appropriate rather than my usual Team SKY baseball cap. The other leaders have those waxed cotton jobs.

I don't think it matters what hat you wear it's how you wear it.

Wear a Monmouth cap, explain the history and why it's a lost piece of their culture

Felt ones are rubbish, get a proper leather one.

I loved mine until I left it on the car roof.

You may or may not look ridiculous, Only way it could be unforgivably ridiculous is wearing it while driving a crap german SUV ๐Ÿ™‚

More people should wear hats. I have a few, all of which I almost never wear.

felt far better than leather - but buy a fedora not a bush hat. Great in the rain - keeps it from running down your neck

There's always the Tilley hat, in a choice of materials, I've got a waxed cotton one, and the Canadian Winter hat, which is a wool mix, and both are good for keeping rain from running down your neck.

Not so bad if you are in the bush I suppose. Round UK streets a bit silly looking, each to their own and all that.

We look pretty daft in MTB gear, mushroom helmet, man leggings and mixed florescent colours!

I just wish I could get a hat that fitted me.

My head is absolutely massive. Nothing of any use in it though, pah!

What's wrong with leather? I've got a distressed buffalo one which is great, pretty battered by now but still comfy and keeps the rain off.

I do get Glasgow urchins calling me Indiana Jones, but that's not a bad thing.

Hats are awesome - I have a selection!

Go for it - felt, leather, cotton... even straw at a push... all good. But for the real shiz then it has to be fur felt.

(I have an authentic Indie hat from the folks that made the ones for the film... but I was an archaeologist once so it is kinda allowed!)
