I hope that draws equally from both sides because otherwise I'd be afraid of tipping over.

That would be a good choice for a "pick hard" bassist. I, however, pluck with my fingers.

The Zorro hat is the "pork pie hat" of cowboy attire!
There's also this popular favorite.

Whatever you do, just please don't go around calling a Trilby a Fedora.
Here you go. This is it.
Especially great when your partner wears this one.

Happily trending in my own peculiar direction.
If you can't find one that works out of these, you're just not a hat guy. Which is ok.
Maybe go bald before you try out a hat. If you shave your head bald and find that it doesn't look to your liking, you will end up wearing a hat anyways haha
I'm 33, I want to look like you when I'm in my 50's, let alone 70's!!This photo was taken last year before a gig. (I was obviously having a better day than the day my avatar photo was taken.)
I may not look it, but I'm 71. Lately I've noticed more and more hair falling out when I shower. I think the day is coming when I may wear a hat when I perform.
So, recommend a hat. Humorous replies - bring 'em! But, I'm looking for serious recommendations as well. C'mon fashionistas, make me look mahvelous, simply maaaahvelous.

I had a russian military officer's hat. Wore it to a college campus bar gig. Right in the middle of a song someone reached in and took it right off my head. Never saw it again. The place was packed, it just disappeared.

Just go to a hat shop and try on hats till you find one that fits and looks good on you. I'm follically challenged, too, and I ended up finding the perfect (so far) hat for me at Spence Gifts. That was a long time ago and I've been looking for others. I finally ordered one on Amazon that looked perfect. And it's too small. So...go try on hats and find one that works for you, and FITS.
This is a photo of me taken about 12 years ago. I used this as one of the pictures for my online dating profile, in spite of this I actually did meet someone and get them to agree to marry me. I also once hid dozens of wallet-sized printouts at my old workplace the night before I left for a new job, and right after promising everyone there that they would surely see my face again soon.
Anyway, it's been very successful for me, so I recommend finding an old sombrero in someone's closet and wearing that.

For some reason the attachment didn't.... BTW - this hat is not dirty - just side-lit.
