I wear a flat cap and proud of it.

[Wacky Racer]

Whilst driving around in my MX5, I have taken to wearing a farmers style flat cap. Yes, a few years ago they were usually worn by old pensioners who pootled up the motorway at 30mph on a Sunday afternoon.

However, now they are the chosen headgear of "The Cheshire set", Prince Harry etc, definitely the thing to be seen in.

You can pick them up from a charity shop for around a fiver.

Anyone else a dedicated follower of fashion?

No, that's going too far.

(Ok if you have a TR6)

I have two flat caps and a Fedora, none of which I would wear in the car.

Being from Yorkshire I have a collection, which was started many years ago.

Just a flat cap and nowt else?

Impressive for this time of year.

I have 2. I am often seen wearing one whilst driving very slowly in a 47 year old land rover. Not often seen wearing one in the mx5 though. Just seems wrong in the mx5.

I’ve been known to sport a leather flat cap from time to time.

I have a hat that came from Marks and Spencer but its a bit faded and scruffy.
I describe it as a fisherman's hat.
In winter a nice woolly Sweden bought hat is used.

Do you also happen to have a knackered old LR,a couple of whippets, say 'eeh by gum' alot and speak with a thick Yorkshire accent?

i picked up a rather fetching Harris Tweed flat cap for MX-5 top-down duties in the winter. Hats generally make me look awkward, but I think a flat cap suits me and is more socially acceptable than a baseball cap or a beanie.

Yep, some bloke in an old beetle likes flat caps aswell

They're useful for hiding bald or thinning tops ;-)

If you've got an open top car a flat cap is a sensible gentleman's choice. Trust me people over 30 who drive cabrios wearing baseball caps look like complete bellends

And prevents freezing or burning of said bald patch ,depending on season.

No comment whether this applies to me or not......
