Whats your favourite?

Think I'm going for a straw trilby for the coming summer, should compliment the autum/ winter tweed flat cap nicely.

I hate to jump on the bandwagon, however I've actually been really impressed by the headwear One More Cast have released. I've had one of their wooly hats and the cap, both are really comfy and the wooly hat is properly warm in this recent weather we've had. My brother has the new waterproof woolen hat, I'm not a huge fan of the rustling but still a quality item

I found if hats DONT have a liner your head will itch

but the ones with a liner preferably a cotton one are perfect and wont make your head itchy a flat cap is a perfect example

When it's really cold or really hot (for sunburn) I do wear a hat but if I can get away with it I won't wear one.
But that is good advice

I've got a draw full of hats, mainly caps and beanies, but I also have bobble hats, bucket hats and a fur lined trapper hat.

Favourites for general everyday use - Nike cap or a camo UA one I got from the States. When it's cold, a beanie with a lizard on the front or an Oakley bobble hat. When it's really cold, the trapper hat with a cap underneath it so I have a peak. When it's hot, I have a wicked reversible SaltRock bucket hat.

As you can see, I like hats.

Preferably not, although I have a few hats for fishing.

I do actually have a Herringbone flat cap which I find comfortable to fish in, a Beanie with a USB rechargeable headlight, a Thinsulate Thermal hat and couple of the obligatory baseball caps, one by RH and one by a company called Coast.

The flat cap is probably my favourite as it is based on the Andy Little Flat cap and fish detector. (Was that a Chris Ball or Rod Hutchinson comment?)

Don't wear them unless it's really very cold, but I've got a black fur-lined trapper hat that might've saved me from serious injury years ago.
I was coming down a ski slope at 2am on a little plastic sledge (seemed like a good idea at the time) when I failed to negotiate the final bend and went straight off into the pine trees quite fast. You could see the bark-print bruise on my cheek, and I broke 2 ribs when I hit the tree ... but without that hat who knows what would've happened. I might have voted for Brexit.

I've also struggled with itchiness from hats. Tried fleece even a merino one. That went to the missus. However I have a Hemp Tilly that is lovely to wear. It's nearly 20 years old.now and still going strong. Not really a warm hat, and not 100% waterproof.

However it always seems to do the job. Either in Egypt from the sun or the UK from a shower . Naturally breathable and anti rot.

Old geezers right, I've found most headwear needs a liner, or it gets v itchy

I just gel my hair into the shape of a seasonal hat.

Ive got 3 hats depending on weather conditions, a cap for the summer, a waxed glen hat for when it is really heavy rain, and the fur lined trapper hat for the winter..

I actually dislike wearing anything on my head, so I only wear them if needed. I cant even stand putting the hood up on my hoodies,

Got one of those and a leather wide brim same style, also a tweed flat cap and Barbour wax cotton one .not a fan of baseball caps but the large peak ones are good for keeping the sun off the glasses when fly fishing in bright sunshine.

I use a variety, love my Fjallraven g1000 cap, slightly different shape and peak angle to a baseball cap. Often used in conjunction with a merino buff. A couple of woolly hats I've picked up over the years for when it's cold, wet or mozzies are bad.
