I would like a stetson in the summer to protect me from the sun, but I find myself thinking "attention seeking dufus" whenever I see a person wearing one here in Scandinavia.
Swede here, I have decided to get a hat like this during this summer:
https://hatstore.se/strahattar/swindle-straw-natural-natural-fedora-brixton
Combine it with a loose white linnen shirt and loose white linnen trousers and you can sort of claim to cosplay John Hammond from Jurassic Park.
What I have found is that you can't just get a hat and use it with any outfit, you need to have an outfit that works with the hat.
I like that one, but I won't buy american products. Also a reason for not getting a stetson.
Fair point, I have yet to decide on the final model of hat I will actually get
there are many swedish hatmakers! cth ericson has something similar to that one.
Ah, perfekt! Jag kikar på hattmakare istället för hattbutiker!
Tak skal du have!
Get a Panama hat. They are similar in style and often made in Panama.
Authentic Panama hats are actually from Ecuador! They just became popular when they sold them to people crossing the Canal, so when anybody asked the buyers said they got the hat in Panama.
This guy has a really outdated website with more information than anybody could possibly need about Panama hats lol

A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!
Hat
Smithbilt hats are made in Canada, better quality than Stetson IMO
Just get one of those sun hats where things like 'stylish' were the very last thing the designers paid attention to, if they did at all. Either firm brim all around, or with the extra sun protecting floppy back, but somewhat excessive in the north: https://www.sundayafternoons.com/cdn/shop/files/adventure-hat-rivers-edge-front-SS26-DTC-2500px-Exclusive.jpg No one will think you're an attention seeker, although some might think you are a bit of a dufus; most people might think you've had skin cancer. But whatcha gonna do, function over form!
I can imagine myself wearing that and just ooze sexappeal.
My dad actually had skin cancer on the top of his head, which is why I'm being careful and sweat sunscreen. It's not a great look when walking out of a park...
You can get that style hat in military camo and still look like a dufus.
I look like a dufus in mine but it's treated against mosquitoes and doesn't mind machine washes. Turns out stuff given to people to invade desert countries is actually designed to withstand harsh conditions.
I have a straw hat shaped kinda like a Stetson that I wear in the field for the same reason, but only there because I feel silly wearing it in public. I look like a cross between a fake cowpoke and Bob Belcher in his garden.
So vivid.
I have one. It's great for the sun, and there are some of their hats that look great without coming off with Republican cowboy wannabe vibes.
I've seriously gotten so many compliments from random people on it. They also have some that are weather proof and can be rolled up for travel. All wool. Amazing.
Highly recommend.
I have an Indiana Jones hat that I got for Christmas a few years ago. It's literally branded "Indiana Jones," but if you didn't know that it honestly just looks like a cool felt hat. I guess it's technically a fedora, but not that kind of fedora. It rolls up and lays back out well again, too.
Anyway, I moved to New Zealand at the beginning of the year, and if you don't know, a hat to block the sun is like a survival requirement here. That's what I had, so that's what I started wearing. I think it looks pretty good. I haven't had anyone roll their eyes at me or anything, at least.
