As has been previously mentioned, wearing hats does not promote baldness, but baldness may very well lead to wearing hats. My personal hat habits are to protect my bald pate from the elements. As such, I have several hats to fill the ranks:
Typically, I wear a Coolmax brimmed, cotton painter style hat for working in the factory (helps reduce fluorescent light glare and improve concentration), or any number of free implement dealer hats around town in the spring, summer and fall, or when driving.
When on the tractor or spending long hours outside around the farm(spring, summer, fall), I typically wear my trusty wide brimmed truck tarp canvas hat. (the Real Deal, Brazil) Very tough, repels water, branches, sun, black flies, etc...
When the weather turns cold, I usually grab my felted wool stocking cap. Very toasty, yet breathable. If the wind picks up, I may switch to the classic mad bomber hat.
When in my own house, I hang my hat on the peg at the door. When going to a restaurant, I usually put my hat on my knee under the table.
With a great dome, comes great responsibility. :wink:
