Re: hats/headware
If it's a situation where a hat is needed but baseball caps are not as useful (like tomorrow's range cleanup day where I'll be in the sun for a few hours), then I wear the DCU patterned boonie hat I was issued in the Air Force. I do, however, prefer baseball caps when playing baseball. They're better at keeping the sun out of your eyes than a tricorner hat.

Put a couple of pouches or MOLLE straps on it, make it black or coyote brown and voila! Tactical fez!Aegis wrote:A fez.
Most definitely a fez.

Re: hats/headware
I was planning on the hat and I often carry the dosimeter, but if you want I can bring out the "CDV-720 Radiological Field Survey Meter" just in case things get hot.

Re: hats/headware
I have three of four Fez's, I use them for weddings. Don't ask.
I have all sorts of hats, Jackaroo, Fedora, Viking Helmets, even got a Panama hat from my EVP he picked up for me on his trip the other day. He figured I needed a token that I neglected to obtain from my last trip there, in 1989.
As for Le Mythbusters, I got that all the time in France, but not Italy. I cannot wear a hat at all when visiting San Francisco, and I still get it at lot.
Here is a very expensive version of a Panama hat I got at Marks and Spencer the previous trip to London. This photo was taken on the road trip back from Florence to Marseilles.
Edit: SH the hat in the photo of me on the train (vs the boat I just realized) is properly a pork pie, the larger brim, like the panama is a fedora, but those are felt unlike the straw in the photo below.

Savage's hat looks like a Porkpie. Anyone know for certain?

I'm usually ballcaps, but I have a woodland pattern boonie for in the, well, woods, and I have what SeekHer called an "English driving cap," but which picked up the term "Go to Hell hat" from a friend (long story.) I normally wear it backwards, it just seems to look better most days that way. When it gets cold, I normally switch to knit beanies or knit headbands with earmuffs.

Nice hat! I suppose they gave you a rental car with Paris (75) plates. If you were in Paris and I didn't hear about it, there will be ructions!!!CombatController wrote:This photo was taken on the road trip back from Florence to Marseilles.
