Haha! Just seen this. Genuinely surprised more people don't favour a flatty. Glad someone agrees on the virtues.
Barrelwise, I reckon yer eyes is wonky.

Ahhh - its a gentleman's gun then? (side by side)
Most of the time I wear an 'IQ reducing' baseball cap, purely because I just need something to keep the rain off my glasses or the sun out of my eyes. I used to wear them all the time as a pilot as the headset just goes over the top.
I do have a Dorfman pacific outback cotton hat which is great as its crushable and easy to reshape.

Remember, most Landrover owners have to wear a baseball cap as most of the time is either spent A) under the bonnet (pun) and B) lying down underneath trying to put something back on which has just fallen off. Also due to the closeness of the seat to the steering wheel and low headroom a brimmed hat will not fit. Also the skip on the hat reminds you to brace when the engine seizes and the skip hits the windscreen.
My hat, not had it long, about a month now:

Har har, jealousy will get you nowhere
But you can tell this info comes from experience! I do still love Landies and I'm glad like me you have a sense of humour about them. Amazed the amount of owners who don't. Enjoy her mate - what you got at the moment?
And remember folks - Landrover make badged wide brim hats too... to keep you dry on the long walk home.
Well, you have to have a sense of humour with a 30 year old car/tractor that doesn't go faster than 60mph, constantly leaks oil everywhere it goes and is wet and windy inside the cab - no matter what the weather! Currently the proud restorer of a 1984 90, 200tdi.
I rarely get to wear this one, as it's seldom cold enough:
and the good old hemp Tilley hat:

My last was a 1989 3 door 200 TDI Discovery which I managed to get my only speeding ticket ever in! An amazing feat. To fit the thread you HAD to wear a hat inside as the sunroof leaked on corners.

The ultimate IQ reducer is the beanie, I think. Ever see a mature man wear a beanie? It's the domain of the teenager...

I wear one in the winter months, nothing better for keeping my head warm and at 35 I like to think i'm a mature man.
Here's my trusted companion, together with some trusted companions for the other end of my body.
Speaking of baseball caps. The grandfather of the base ball cap have been a part of the bunad (traditional norwegian clothing) from where I grew up for centuries. It is called a Skjoldlue, which developed into the Østerdalslue that again developed into the base ball cap we know today.
If you look at the third picture from the top on this page: http://www.elverumske.no/esc_norsk/draktskikk.htm , then you see the skjoldlue used typically around 1800's (and is still used to day together with the male bunad from Østerdalen.
On this page you see a variety of Østerdalslue models, which has been the prefered headwear for lumberjacks, woodsmen and craftsmen for generations in the district were I grew up. At the bottom you also see two models of the Skjoldlue: http://www.hufa-luefabrikk.no/default.asp?menu=69
So it is really the base ball cap that has the deepest roots, and best of all, the roots are norwegian

That´s some nice info you´ve got there Skaukraft! I wasn´t aware of that.
Here in the south the male bunad is usually worn with something like this: http://bilde.kk.no/ja+vi+elsker+menn+i+bunad.jpg?o=3063462&w=698&h=0&ee=1242134752
Now I have an even bigger excuse to wear it; it´s tradition
