I've had a Stetson, medium brimmed hat for over 20 years. Use it hunting and during the winter months. It is a Gun Club series hat and keeps me warm and the sun out of my eyes. I also have a brimmed hat for summer and baseball style hat for yard work. I wouldn't go out without one. Don't worry about what others think about the way it looks on you. If it is comfortable, wear it with pleasure.
