    Not leaving the house without a hat. I feel naked without one. I have a felt hat, a straw hat, and a vintage stetson made from leather-looking plastic for traveling and festivals as it’s essentially indestructible ;)

    The straw hat is closing in on 10 years, and I’m planning to get a new one next summer, I have not yet decided on the style, maybe a panama hat.

      Coming from a place where skin cancer is more of a when you get it and not if you get it. This is normal as can be.

        I’m from northern Germany. While global warming changed things a bit, we used to have a joke

        What are you doing this summer?

        On that day I plan to work in the garden.

        That said, I also hate baseball caps, something some people tend to also call hats.

        edit: Oh, and funnily enough, hats are still somewhat rare in South Africa, despite them having a lot of sun. It’s mainly people working outside that wear them. Most of the white people there do look a bit sun-burnt.

      As an Aussie, this is totally normal and beats getting skin cancer. This is normal for most Aussies as you can literally feel the sun burning you skin some days.

      The joys of living closer to the hole in the ozone layer!
