Was it me???? I have had people not recognize me because I was not wearing my hat.... I get mine through 'The Hat People' here in Oregon. Not cheap, but very durable. They are similar to welder's caps, short bill, and turn the bill out the back side. Essential for when I do wear a face mask, or if I have hearing protection on. I don't like my 'solar panel' getting irritated.

It was you and Mike Peace I think.

However, I just buy baseball hats at a goodwill type of store for around $1.00. Then just cut the bill off. When it becomes to ugly to wear I just get a new one out. Easy, washable and inexpensive.

Reply #21 - Sep 21^st, 2018 at 3:32pm Damm, Tom what a great Idea, got to get me one of them. Till then I wear a cycling hat backwards like all the baseball caps. The cycling hat is thinner than any other cap I have seen, but since it was 98* in the shop on Sept, 21st that Dan'l Boon hat may be a little warm.

Reply #22 - Sep 22^nd, 2018 at 8:23pm I wish you guys would quit making me jealous with your hair talk. To keep the shavings off my bald head I have worn a dew rag for the last 12 years.That beanie button on the top of the ball cap bugs me so dew rag it is and no that coon cap does not do it for me either.
