>>>Other than that, they let the sun burn the tops of your ears and the back of your neck. Useless.<<<<br><br>True. But in real sunny conditions I will drape a bandana across the back of my head and place the cap over it to keep it secure. If it's hot, I'll wet the bandana first plus wear a wet bandana around my neck.<br><br>I've looked at wide brimmed hats but haven't found one that caught my fancy. Perhaps I'm just too set in my ways. A baseball cap stays put when it's on, except in the stiffest of winds ... and I'm used to it.<br><br>I do wear the cap to work, but not in the office. I have surprised a few coworked if I run into them outside of the office on the way in. Not only do I wear the cap, but I've taken to wear my Suisse Spor jacket with the zip out poly liner, and a carry my stuff in small backpack instead of a briefcase or PC Shoulder bag. I used to use a shoulder bag, but the added weight on the one side started to cause cronic pain in that shoulder and the related knee (bad knees to begins with). Switching to bacpack eliminated that problem, and is much more comfortable to carry.<br><br>Not playing the dress up game may result in my losing social points in the coporate soap opera. But I know my job and do it well, and so far I have had the fortune of working with folks who value that over a sharp, stylish leather coat. (Of coarse, I do adopt the business dress code when appropriate, such as when there are board meeting or when a customer in in the office.)
