So, if I'm going to have to avoid the sun, I probably need a hat.

The hat should reflect my gender identity, yet should go with these glasses:

Any suggestions?

How much shade do you need?

...or practically any other snappy modern fedora.

I'm not sure this one's you, but I really like it anyhow.

Won't keep a lot of sun off you, but it's damn cute.

Excellent links! Thank you.

I mostly need to keep the sun off my actual head, where the sunscreen can't go. Scalp sunburn is no fun.

Happy belated b-day to G and happy day to you!

I went there too, but this is what I was looking for, for you: http://www.villagehatshop.com/henschel_leather_driving_cap.html
though it may not be enough coverage on your neck.
(You realize the irony of needing a sunshade in SF, don't you? Of course you do.)

Dying of cuteness!

I wear the wide-brimmed Tilley hat. I'm mostly interested in keeping sun off my face.

I love these hats since you can throw them in the washer (but not the dryer) and keep them clean. You can throw them in your bag, too. Can't do that with a straw hat.

Another idea: if you see somebody wearing a hat you like, ask them where they got it. Oakland should have some nice, gentlemanly hat stores.
