Being somewhat British, I like the Panama hat in hot weather. One can now get fold-able versions that stuff in your pocket like a old school cap. One never wore one' s school cap as a hat of course - it was stuffed in the pocket for use as the ball in impromptu games of tuck-and-pass street-rugby. We have stupid-hat contests at Ascot and Aintree every year, though few men take part. In cricket, before the new helmets that actually protect heads, we wore particularly stupid caps and floppy hats of no protection at all, using duck and cover against fast bowling. Sadly, I have no pics, engaging in performance art only.
