Don't tell me you are a low-income, middle aged black boomer too!Say, that's a pretty nice hat you've got there, @millais .
ha ha, there have been a couple times that made me think I should invest in a hard hat. Sometimes it feels like those steel girders sneak up on a fella!
The only reason I need the hat in the first place is for the sun and rain, so it would have to have a brim that can shade the neck and face.
You'd think that would work in a pinch, but I find it's really necessary to have both the neck and face shaded simultaneously. When it's 100+ degrees and cloudless skies, the neck and face being shaded at once can make the difference in being able to spend 5 minutes outdoors and 10 minutes outdoors without excessive discomfort.
Crocodile Dundee wore an Akubra, which is very different from your standard canvas bucket hat.

A lot of black people, especially in the south, really like wearing work clothes. Every black dude I see in my town always wears stuff like overalls and trucker caps even on their days off. I guess they like it because it goes with their sense of style?
So what types of hats are safe to wear around blacks?
