Today, since it's snowing and sleeting, a Tilley Endurables winter tweed hat with the flaps tucked up -- it's not cold, just messy.

On cold days, fur earmuffs and the hood of my sheepskin coat.

At the office (which has large west-facing windows) in the afternoons, an ancient long-billed ball cap with the NATO compass rose and NATO-IFOR Bosnia embroidered on it.

Most days it a cycling helmet. Depending on the weather I generally wear a bandana as a head band if it's cold but not wet. A baseball cap with Meatloaf logo if it's wet & windy, an aussie style bush hat if it's wet but not windy.

All my other hats are for decoration purposes and I wear them as seems appropriate........ I don't have anything that flashes though.........

I have a cupboard with a shelf full of hats in it, so I am spoilt for choice, my favourite though is my genuine Akubra.
I have also recently acquired a Jimmy Rodgers brakeman type striped hat, I'm looking forward to wearing that one.

Actually, I tell a lie... it was a reindeer shaped thing with a flashing nose.

Again... don't ask.

I see a lot of those glitter hats in my part of the world Liz and I know why they are being worn too.

But I'll keep that knowledge to myself :-)

The last hat I wore was a red glitter plastic cowboy hat, in church.... it's probably best you don't ask why.

A bunch of baseball caps, all but one with stuff on them. Stuff like a fishing fly and the words "Bite Me" or a fishing fly and a fly reel and the words "Reel men play with their flies" or "Goex Black Rifle Powder" or "USS Wasp" or "Doellman Gunsmithing."

A couple of straws, a khaki one where the sides of the brim snap to the crown, a couple "Indiana Jones" types, a large old-fashioned flat-crown with wide brim, a tricorn, one of those things that looks like a cow pat with a visor.

Sometimes I wear a fencing mask, too.

I just ordered a fedora and I am anxiously awaiting its arrival (although in all honesty it is for a role I am playing on stage and probably won't have the courage to wear it regularly.) Otherwise, the occasional thong.

When it's f***in cold I have a LL Bean Mad Bomber hat.

Moderately cold I had an old beret now replaced by my Greek Fishermans hat.

Summer - Tilley Endurables or a straw beret.

I also wear an old cherished Boston Redsox beseball cap, and a CNN baseball cap.

1. Black Kangol beret (worn backwards a la Richard Thompson) currently lost but rumoured to be under 18 year old daughter's pile of bedroom debris
2. Dark brown "Australian" style wide-brimmed leather hat with plaited leather band (bought in Vancouver!)
3. Navy blue Breton fisherman's hat (bought in Brittany and worn when I can't find 1 or 2!)
4. Straw trilby (made in Luton) for those rare sunny days here

Peace

I used to have a Linux cap but after three years of faithful service it died, so now I have an RNLI one.

I own several controversial hats. I wear them with care.

So you have a Martin and a Gibson....

Does this indicate an alter ego?

Inspired by this thread...

I don't have a Greek fisherman's cap. Nor do I have a porkpie, a beret, or a newsboy. I also don't have a Panama hat, a fedora, a Stetson or a pith helmet.

What I do have are baseball caps. Lots of 'em. I wear 'em pretty much any time I'm outside because the hair on top of my head abdicated several years ago and sunburned scalps are unpleasant. I also wear them when I'm indoors if there are bright lights which may cause reflected glare from my head to blind other people.

My cap collection is of a motley nature. Most of them are "freebies" or "gimmes" with the exceptions of a few that have been purchased at folk festivals. The ones bearing blatant advertising slogans are reserved for non-public wear. A Miller Lite cap is fine for gardening, but I won't wear it in public. Not only do I no longer drink, but even when I did I wouldn't drink that swill.

When I'm not wearing a particular cap, one of my instrument cases is. I keep my guitars, banjos etc. lined up against a wall in their cases and each case is wearing a baseball cap. They frequently fight over who gets to wear which cap. Just the other day the D-28 and the J-45 got into an argument over who would get to wear the "Friends of Florida Folk" cap. The Gibson won, leaving the Martin wearing a bright jungle-print thing with "MFS" embroidered on it. I have no idea what "MFS" stands for, having found the cap floating in the intracoastal waterway.

By the way, though commonly referred to as "baseball caps", none of my caps actually bears the logo of a baseball organization and, to the best of my knowledge, none have been worn in actual baseball games.

So, what are your headwear preferences?
