    I'd like one of these. I used to have a Swedish Army surplus winter cap, but it wore out a long time ago.

    I think baseball caps should only be worn by baseball, and then only while actually playing baseball.

    I do have a hat somewhat like the first one forestleaf posted, which I wear only in the summer to protect my head.

    Winter up here, well it's wool toques, but I don't think that's what we're talking about.

    I kind of dislike hats - would love to wear one but I have pretty thick hair-thanks Mum & Dad- and I don't like squashed hair.

    However I bought a leather Stetson last week as they were being sold at a incredible price.

    My wife is nonplussed and in a way so am I.

    My son brought me back a leather Crocodile Dundee hat from Australia, complete with croc teeth.

    But...no.

    For hats, there are 2 keys.

    First, make sure the hat is appropriate for the outfit. Around here that means if you can wear your Justin or Luchase boots, Summer = Resistol Straw and Winter = Stetson felt (10x or better please). Shorts and a t-shirt = ball cap (fitted). You get the idea.

    Second, you absolutely have to own the look. If you are at all timid about your look, it will come off as a DLV.

    I like baseball hats, but they give me aa bit of a headache.  I hate seeing guys in their thirties or older wearing them backwards though.

    That's the key. I realized my leather Stetson is Harrison Ford. Need to work on the confidence to wear that ;-).

    On a good day though.....on a good day....! B)

    I have a 15 year old, battered light brown one of these (band has fallen off) which I wear when there's a risk of sunburn. Of course, this is Australia and once you get out of town this is normal attire. Might be time to find a replacement http://www.jacaru.com/index.html

    I'm a big fan of flat caps.

    A little bit old-world, so they feel more grown-up than a baseball cap, not so big as a fedora or outback hat, so a little easier to own the look.

    Just to be clear -- the main objection (the main one, not necessarily the only one) women have to baseball hats is when they're used as part of a 'college shower' whereby you're basically trying to use the hat to conceal the fact that your hair is a mess because you didn't wash or comb it. 

    Otherwise, it's sometimes part of the look or it isn't.

    1> Baseball hats are worn by baseball players and boys. You can toss one on when working in the yard or garage, but don't overdo it.

    2> Go to a hat store, with a trusted friend. Try on many. Find the one that works with your style. You don't have a "style?" Figure that out first.

    3> When in doubt, go for understated. Most people can't rock a pimp hat.

    Me too!  They are the only type of hat that really works with my thin face. Wish I had the coursge to weat mine more often. W does not like and I have not worked up the amount of style coursge to just do it.  Actually they look good on me which most hats/sunglasses do not.  I have a tough face for hats to love I guess.

    Like this one. Actually this guy kinda looks like me.  Scary actually.  how the heck does he make it as a model with a face remotely similar to mine???

    @George around here, the only ones who wear hats like that (usually in white) are old men who drive 10 mph below the speed limit in the fast lane.

    That's exactly what I used to say. And then one day, I just went, "Screw it. Doing it now." 

    ...but my wife kind of likes them (she's an anglophile), so YMMV.
