Just in my relatively worthless opinion, hats sorta go with geography.
I'm NC, born and bred. Yep, there's some 'horsey' areas of the state where men and women dress up like cowboys - but just looks strange to me given the location.....
I think Western hats belong West of the Mississippi.
My best real hat is a vintage Filson 'Tin Cloth', that's a sort of oiled/waxed canvas. Classic field hat.
The other is a well worn dark green felt campaign hat - great for cool days in the woods when blaze colors are not needed.
I spend a lot of time on boats - caps rule here as they're often turned backwards while running and on plane so as to not blow off. Anything with a brim will launch off on a breezy day or if you're running 30 mph or better.
