    I wear a cotton flat cap just about every day. I don't have to worry too much about humidity out here in the desert, but with temps near or above 100 degrees, sweat can be an issue... It's not too bad in the flat cap.

    Whatever you feel comfortable with, just make sure that is nothing but class.

    I like something in this style. Mine isn't a Tilley, but I suppose it's just a matter of time before I pony up and buy one.

    As you can see, both WalkerK and myself enjoy a similar style of hat. (Pictures from the Monterey Highland Games, I'm the bottom one.)

    My personal favorite is the Boonie Hat.

    You can get them in several color options
    camo


    digi-camo


    hunting camo(natural gear, my personal fav.)


    or non-camo


    Or, just for kicks...you could go British

    I wear hats most times, now that I get sunburned on the top of my head! It works out OK for me, as I like to wear hats anyway.

    For summer, I suggest a driving-style cap or irish flat cap made from a light weight material like cotton, linen, or silk. There are many varieties of this style. You can see some examples in linen here:

    Those include some really top makers, like Borsalino, but you can find cheaper versions too. The Tilley hats that were suggested previously also look really good!

    Those are the hats that I think of as golf hats. -And since golf is a pure Scottish game, that make the hat scottish - right?

    I think I will start using them, and checking out the golf pro shops for a couple more.

    Thanks

    I have the same problems: fat, bald, and sweaty . Wal-Mart has some really cheaply made driving/golf caps that are almost like mesh. I like them because the wind blows right through them and keeps the head cool. The better quality ones are woven tighter and don't allow as much circulation.
