I have a green felt hat I bought on a trip to Indiana. It's not the best quality, but I like the way it looks on me, it's good protection from the rain (it's water-resistant) and sun, and if I bring a camera up to my eye the hat is crushable enough to just get out of the way...I like that part of it the best.
This is me in the aforementioned Jaunty Hat(tm) as self-photographed on the way back from Indy.
The hat is significantly less green now, but is no less awesome.
The problem with today's society is that men don't wear proper hats anymore.
