Can't be doing with this headwear snobbery bollocks, I wear whatever suits the requirement best, be it baseball cap, flat cap, beanie, or trapper cap.
I agree with Tim, to paraphrase Messrs Brown and Cameron in 2010.
The key is functionality and the advantages of a baseball cap in summer are that its not too warm to wear, but keeps what hair I have left in place and it stays in place. In winter a beanie performs equally well and keeps my ears warm. My flat cap threatens to blow away at speed, ad my Aussie Stockman,s hat doesn't have a chin strap.
Elegance is hardly an issue - at 15 stone and six feet tall what I put on my head as I squeeze myself into a narrow bodied 4/4 isn't going to make a ha'porth of difference to the overall impression I create. Whatever admiring glances I attract are definitely directed at the car's bodywork and not mine.
