I never wore a hat at all between the 1950's and 2000 but, to avoid skin
cancer, during the day I have worn a brimmed hat since about 2000.
Generally, I don't take it off except in restaurants when I place it on
the table to avoid forgetting it. I have lost about three in that time
:-( I have to admit that I sometimes have gone to visit someone and
rather embarrassingly realized I had the hat on after half an hour or so.
