Speak for yourself, toad-man. Mine keeps my glasses fairly dry during rain, keeps the sun off my head in the summer, traps my body heat in the winter, can be used to collect eggs, and doubles as an emergency hot pad (I do wear a hat in commercial kitchens).

I'll keep my hats.

Here's a few guys that look good wearing a hat:

Hats are too hot. Technology has rendered them obsolete.

"A hat should be taken off when you greet a lady and left off for the rest of your life. Nothing looks more stupid than a hat." ---P.J. O'Rourke

In what way has technology rendered my hat obsolete? What technology would have helped protect me from the heat today when I was out working in the garden, in the sun?

What technology can keep my head warm in the winter besides a hat, when I have to be outside and in the weather?

My husband will not go outside without a hat. He wears a felt Stetson in the winter and a straw one in the summer. He has a work and dress hat of each. Sometimes when the wind is blowing badly he wears a baseball style cap.

After having a bird sh*t on my head years ago, I rarely go outside without a hat anymore. If I'm working in the yard or playing, it's a baseball cap of some sort. If I'm headed to work or school, it's my favorite Aussie stetson. If I'm hunting or fishing, it's my Mossy Oak boonie cap.

Yeah, I know...isn't that special?

A hat for you is a tool.

A hat for the author is a fashion statement.

[loungitude]

A guy at work in a neighboring cubicle wears a different hat every day, all day, in his cube.
Dork.

When I was about 5 years old, I asked my mother what caused men to become bald. Her answer was “wearing hats.”

[Bratch]

Hats died about the same time as Bogey. Fitting.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

I’m pretty bald and I’ve always avoided hats when ever I could.

[JRandomFreeper]

Depending on the circumstances, I do use mine as a fashion statement. I've got a nice tweed beret that I usually wind up wearing to burials in the winter.

About the only time I don't wear a hat outside is during the summer when wearing a suit. But then, I'll put my hair up in a nice braid.

I've got a full head of long hair, and I've worn a cap or a hat since I was knee-high to a duck.

Go figure. I don't give much credence to the old-wife tale.

Rarely leave the house without my Stetson Open Road with monument four point crown and windblown mesa fold to the brim.

Attractive women almost always have the most flirtatious and sweet comments about it.

That's gay? - and useless? Ok

Like JFK, when your hair is an asset, then you don’t hide it.

Hats are like beards and mustaches, if they work for you, do it, none of them suit me.

Although I like hats I just can’t make myself wear one, even my top excuse for buying cool hats, the desert, doesn’t work for me, I end up taking it off to let my hair bleach and keep my head free and breathing.

I just received a new fedora 2 weeks ago. They're great for rainy/inclement weather.
