Bob Mortimer has a very nice hat in that Going Fishing series. I forget where it’s from but I’ll try and remember later. You may be able to find it on google before I get a chance.

I’ve become accustomed to a Pork Pie - works for my big fat round head too.

Good choice

I can't really do hats, my head is small and every item of headwear both looks ridiculous and slips down over my eyes. It isn't just the size of my head, the shape is odd, like I have no forehead to speak of.

 

[Numbers]

good call

Has taken me year to get the right hat +/and/or sunglasses configuration.
Pork Pie's are very forgiving, + effective.

Flatcap has a little bit at the front that keeps the glare out of your eyes as well. or just a little fez for the bald patch

kippah

 

[discokermit]

A bucket for a hat?
eta: think I know them as fishing hats

i had to top wearing mine in your company because you kept saying "on golden pond" and sniggering.

 

[discokermit]

wouldn't work for me - my head is massive and a big hat would highlight this. Like that cap though

the opposite. a big hat would diguise your head. a cap would make you look like a macaroni.

I've got some great news for you here: unless you're donning something really outlandish like a top hat or a tricorn, no-one will give a shit what hat you wear, so the only real obstacle you have to get past is your own self-doubt.

Not quite true:. I have a strong irrational hatred of the beret, whether it's the classic Frank Spencer, the activist 'Citizen Smith'/ Richard Thompson style, or 1970s giant floppy 'hovis' beret beloved of Elton John/Mick Jagger/John Lennon.

Although I don't think hats suit me, when I think about it I used to wear them all the time and had quite a good selection. I think hats must have been generally quite "in" during that period of my life. Woollen hats for winter, South American type things with mutlicoloured woven fabric bands, army style caps, Lenin caps, I had a few very practical sunhats for when I was on digs too (I go from white to burnt in approximately a minute so covering up when working outdoors is essential).

A beret is definitely a more difficult hat to wear, no doubt about it. It's hard to get away from looking like you're in costume.

I've wondered why Frank Spencer wore one. I wasn't alive in the 70s but would a real-life character like him reasonably have worn one or was it some sort of clown-label from the costume department?

I think there was a wider range of hats about then, but mostly among older generations so a young man wearing a beret would probably have seemed a bit weird and anachronistic, so yeah I think it's a costume department clown label.

As my dad used to always say.
“If you can’t fight, wear a daft hat”

Yeah, hatlessness was one of the early victories of the counter culture. People Frank’s age wouldn’t have worn a hat.

I've embraced twatlook.

No, I'm not posting a pic.

 

[xenon]

I don't think they exist much. I've only ever seen one hat shop and that was in Walworth - Rimworld

Who wants to be a milliner.

that doesn't really work I know, just have to crowbar it when hat talk happens...

Cars. Of course.

Do still see the farmers round here in proper stereotypical big old conical straw hats like Tintin in China might have. Might be a push in Leeds!
Get a woven grass rain cloak too and go the whole hog:

thats in my head as 'the ocean colour scene hat style' but I'm sure the style precedes the 90s indie band

 

[JimW]

The other sensible one is those Canadian Tilley hats, supposed to be hard wearing and good quality, bit of a fisherman look.

I bought a tiger stripe boonie hat from Silverman's in the mid-90s which I lost whilst reading comics on a bench near Neal Street during a shopping expedition mere weeks after getting it ( ) but I've just had a look at their website and it's still selling for the same price 25+ years on

I believe this website has reinvented the traditional handkerchief hat..
