Around here it's often too windy for a hat at an outdoor gig. This one caused me mucho trouble in swirly 30 knot winds:

I'll see if I can scare up one of my Mexican cowboy hat that an actual cowboy gave me last year. ;)

I kid you not, I took that EXACT same hat to Thailand and India last year, and it was an awesome hat! It got completely destroyed over the course of the trip, but it served its duty admirably.

As far as hats, if I wear one, it's usually this old Pendleton I was given: The Indy. It's a fedora in the more classical sense, with the wider brim, which I really prefer, not the modern idea of a fedora with the short brims (They aren't fedoras, they're TRILBYS)

No look? Are you nuts? You guys have the "fat old guy" look DOWN.

I should know, I fit this category nicely as well...

haha - funny you should say that -> our front man and drummer are the youngest in the group and I'm (as of next week) am the oldest. But I keep telling him he's going to take over my spot on looks alone. He normally wears a ball cap that looks like it's been run over by multiple tractors

Same venue, different lineup & name (despite 2 folks in common with the above pic; drummer above is singerdude here), on Christmas Eve; I went with the Dickensian look, including the lid:

The backwards ballcap has been somewhat of a fixture for me on many gigs:

A year-or-so old band promo shot - you can't see it well, but it's an authentic Italian Navy hat.

Not quite as old, another promo - black bowler.

At a gig over a year ago - fedora with scarf thing wrapped around, matched the rest of my outfit.

At a gig this past October - not sure what it's called, it's like a bowler with a squashed top.

And now I have a few of these in different color combinations, I'm anxiously awaiting a gig so I can get pics of me wearing it any playing.

Looks like this model of hat is a popular one.

Austin, TX - middle of summer - outdoor gig - no shade... sure nice to keep that sun off your face!

No hat for me in this one, but some good head gear on the other boys...

I'd also like to send an honorable mention out to Thelonious Monk... that dude knew about hats!

This is NOT me, but my lead guitarist during our first show. It's the one and only time the Nanerpus hat was worn in concert. After the second song, he took it off, and has forever been relegated to the top of his amp!
