headwear, bandanas: do or don't

[AL-58]

I'm afraid I have to agree with Bob. I've always hated them, and think they look stupid with kilts - and everything else!

I don't even think pirates really wore them....

Pretty well it for me too, you'd never catch me wearing one. That said, it's your head you can wear what you like, it's not my problem. But if you ask me what I think please don't get upset if I say it looks ridiculous.

That goes for me too, Al. I just hate headwear of any kind - always have. Fortunately the British climate is not one that demands that we baldies necessarily need to cover up in the summer but, on the rare occasions when it does, I gird up my loins, take the plunge and wear a 'Union Kilts' baseball cap! In spite of the legend it bears, "Union Kilts", I still believe I look absolutely ridiculous when wearing it, as I do when wearing any hat.

Someone is about to say, "Oh, but you wear the Balmoral." Yes, so I do, but as infrequently as possible and then only because it is part of the 'outfit' I happen to be wearing - I certainly do not wear it for comfort!
As for a bandana, well just don't push me .....................

I've got nothing against headwear in general, just don't like bandanas or similar headwear. I guess they remind me of Brits in hot climates wearing a hankerchief tied off on each corner.

On a winter camp I'll be wearing a woollen or fleece beanie to keep the noggin warm, expecially when its sub zero.

During summer, a broad brimmed hat is essential for sun protection, baseball caps don't protect the ears. I've got a straw hat, an Akubra and a leather/mesh stockmans hat, depends on how warm it is or if its likely to rain. Riding the bike, I do cover my face in sunscreen too, my nose burns easily.
