Over the last couple of months I discovered horse flies. Those monsters apparently thought I tasted great, they would bite huge chunks out of my back, thru my shirt, while ignoring everyone around me. I knocked a bunch of them out of the sky with my Tilley, then turned them into grease spots on the ground with my boots. So I guess this could work. As long as you are ready and willing to stomp the badguy into the dirt after you slap him/her with your hat...

My personal opinion as someone who's done martial arts of various types (TKD, Karate, Boxing, and over 7 years of phillipine stick/knife fighting) ....
Wouldn't work.
If you want specifics, I can name a few, but frankly if you're down to your HAT as a self defense weapon, you really should rethink your EDC or work on getting disarmed less yourself.

I'm with garland. I don't have the same martial arts experince but I have some and there are few things I'd want in my hands in a fight.
Your hands are more dynamic than any weapon. They can punch, poke, grab, slap, hold, rip, tear, etc. They can also be just as good of a diversion if you know how to use them...just ask any boxer.

If you're gonna do the diversion bit, make it something worthwhile... like your wallet.

But if you put Oddjob's hat on too fast, you knock yourself out.
