Title: Dermatologist told me to wear a hat outside. Even a ball cap will help a little

I went to several different stores that sell ball caps, could not find one with the bill on the back or the side.

DUmbass can't tell the front from the back. He needs one of those caps with a bill in the front and the back.......nawh, he'd put it on sideways.

I'm grateful that I live where it is culturally acceptable to wear a wide brimmed hat.

Although, I generally wear 5 to 10X wool felt hats, I do have a couple "straws." 

There is a company called Sunbody that produces a variety of palm leaf hats with a great UPF of 50+, claiming to block 98% of UV rays.  Their styles are not just western, though that's what I wear.  Too late for me to undo much of the damage I've had so much fun getting, but I do wear a hat now all the time.  I keep my kids and grandkids in decent quality hats, too.

I started wearing a hat when I bought the MG.  I was tired of having my forehead sunburned and found a wide-brimmed Fedora-style hat to wear.

It's pretty beat up now and doesn't quite fit my big melon head so I'll probably look for a replacement later.
