*struggling up from the dusty catacombs*

*whew*...took a bit to find a couple, as they hide...in fear I'll wear them again! ..Or maybe my wife hides them....hmmm...

so...an assortment

The left two on the top shelf are military surplus (from The Yard Store, John!..I used to work there in 1973-76) one is a "yardbird" hat like you'd see on *M*AS*H*, the other is a navy flight deck cap with fleece lining and a neck cover for bad weather. Below them are Winter caps which get worn maybe a few times each winter... The 'baseball' type, I use mostly to keep stuff out of my hair when mowing of leaf raking...the 'cowboy' type are also seldom worn, but I carry one with me in the summer to outdoor events...(Scots ancestry...sunburn)
...the one collapsed under the weight of the badges was worn for 17-18 years at our local folk festival, where I was staff...mostly photography...it got a new badge or two each year and for the last two or three, it was only worn for a short ceremonial period. The hard hat was also worn during work there.

The ones I wear mostly now are the 'Greek' types in front, with the leather one being my favorite..

(John...a couple of those hats have been to Winfield!)
