I picked up a flatcap from Goorin Brothers a year or two ago for the winter (the "Ski Cabin", if I remember correctly). I almost never wear a hat in the summer, and if then, it's a ballcap. I'd like to pick up a straw hat or some other kind of trail hat for sitting out in the sun, but don't presently have one.

I have currently a Mark Ecko cut and sew stingy, fits extremely comfortably and I love it. But I still cannot wait until I can get this bad boy http://www.hatsinthebelfry.com/product/borsalino-verde-111147.html
I fell in love with hats with my Mark Ecko, so I'm a hat man now and plan on delving further into more stylish trends...but I DO plan on making them my own style. I am fairly inspired but not strictly to the character Daisuke Jigen I'm a kid at heart and love to put pieces of things I love into things.

This is mine - UK supplies are rather limited.
At times, I resemble James Spader in Boardwalk Empire - albeit an older James who hasn't had the pleasure of disciplining Maggie Gyllenhaal

Both of those (the Borsalino and the Christy's) look nice. That's a pretty good sale price on the Borsalino.
Other than my Homberg, I find myself preferring raw edges over bound edges.

I currently have about a dozen felt & straw fedoras that I cycle through throughout the year. Tomorrow is National felt hat day &I plan on wearing my Optimo Bottle green fedora with brown ribbon.
It's gonna be mid eighties here tomorrow, even though it's past labor day, it's going to be a panama hat day for me.
I wear a long brown "dress" coat in the winter. And as soon as it comes out, my brown fedora comes out with it.
I do much the same. Sunny and temps to 70, I still wear the straw. I have a dark colored one tha I got from Goorin Bros that is perfect for those in between fall days.

There's a degree of flexibility to my hat preferences, though a bit of sunshine sees my panama hit the head.
Nice to see some very stylish fellows on both sides of the pond and beyond!

I use a panama or ball cap most of the time. I just got the panama and my wife and daughter think I look great in it (must keep the girls happy). As I am starting to thin out on top a hat is mandatory.
Flat cap or ball caps.
You all are not attaching any photos.
Damn nice feodras there, Rivieraranch. Rayban Wayfarers?
Sorry but I just cant wear a hat. At 6' 6'' and 17st they just don't suit me. I've tried dozens over the years but have decided to just stay with showing my flowing locks off.
I wear:
Flat caps (2, both are tweed)
Skipper cap (tweed)
Fedora (it's a nice forest green)
Cashmere fisherman cap (eye searing red)
I pretty much wear the tweed hats year round, I don't particularly find them warm in the summer or too cool in the winter. Just perfect.
I'd like to get one of these for some odd reason:

Fedora for many many years now...
It all started during a business trip in Germany and while picking out souvenirs for the family, I decided to get something for myself and somehow, the hats sitting on a table at this small store in this tiny village that I was in, just called to me.
It somehow just made sense... it was stylish, mature, would keep the rain, snow from my head, especially when I wear my glasses.
That poor hat is now in pretty bad shape and finding replacement is hell as there's virtually no good hat stores where I am where they'd have a good selection or anything. I did find a decent replacement but my head grew a bit, enough that it was getting hard to wear it.
Then I finally found a excellent hat a couple of years ago, of all things, it's an official "Indiana Jones" movie one (but black), so it's actually funny.
One thing, I'll never get anything but a high quality fur felt... everything else feels so cheap, and I prefer a wide brim as for me, it's as much as being functional as how it looks.
