With summer coming and as a new 'potential sly', what hats/caps/headgear are people wearing?
-
Just sunscreen for me, I like my sly dome to be visible.
-
Bandanas or do rags.
They cover the dome, fold up in my pocket, and keep sweat out of my eyes.

Since you brought up bandanas, is there a place besides walmart or amazon to get them?

In the states a great place to get them is at a farm supply store like Farm and Fleet or Tractor Supply

Might sound odd, but craft stores like Hobby Lobby and JoAnn's usually have a good selection.

I found a bush style hat in Lowel's that I love.

I went on a web hunt and found this beauty. It was 5 bucks so I orderd it. Ill let y'all know how it is.

I got it from this website. http://www.baldheadstore.com/index.html
They have some pretty good stuff in there.

Looks interesting jbrit

I'll only use it for grass cutting or fishing. Not really formal dinner wear.
-
If it's sunny out I'll usually wear a baseball cap. Otherwise nothing. I like the feel of the breeze on my scalp.
-
Usually nothing as I like to show my bald head.
When I have to spend much time in the sun I use sunscreen. I get a bandana only when the sun is strong, such as in the mountains while I hike or at the beach after few hours.
-
Its a good thing I happened upon this thread. Im about a week off from my 30 days of sly, going into my first spring/summer with a shaved head. Hadn't thought about some headware for long term sun exposure- not sure I own anything worth wearing out right now!
-
Timely thread; I've been bummed out about headwear.
I like wearing baseball caps, but they just don't seem to look right on my head now that I'm clean-shaven. But I know I should protect my scalp from sunburn, so I'm trying to figure out what to do.
Thanks for the link, jbrit25.

Even if you wear a baseball cap, you will still need sunscreen. Otherwise, you will end up with a burn through the opening in the back of the cap where the adjusting band goes through, and a few tiny spots through the ventilating eyelets.

This will also be my first summer sly. Will probably go the sunscreen only route since i hate wearing a hat or any head covering, except for when required, like at work, or on occasions where a hat might be considered the socially accepted norm, though i cannot think of any example of that in these modern times. However i do find that since going sly, i tend to prefer to hear a hat of some sort when im around certain family members. Not sure why i feel that way, just that i do.

I have a collection of fitted and snapback caps, some of which are monogrammed. There's a store called Lids, that sells various kinds of caps and hats, and you can get them monogrammed for $10 per side. Some Lids stores even sell matching shirts if you want to color coordinate.
