I'd guess that a "Smoky the Bear"hat will get comments most anywhere.
Big Man...that's a funny one! It reminds me of a couple of things (one hat related and one Capone related). When I was younger, I used to wear my cousins army hat from Vietnam. When I grew a beard, my friends started calling me Fidel. Yeah, another notorious character.
Also, my dad and uncles used to tell me that being from Chicago, when they went into the army in WWII, everyone thought they already carried machine guns (Chicago Typewriter).

at 6'-6" and 380 lbs it's almost impossible not to notice me - hat or no hat.
Funny story about hat wearing:
Almost every Sunday after church our family eats at the local Mexican restaurant. Well, for the past several weeks, for one reason or another, we haven't been there. Last night my daughter came by the house with a good story. She had gone to that same Mexican restaurant for lunch yesterday and the owner said to her, "where has your family been, we haven't seen you all in a while." My daughter went on to say that the owner said to her, "when we see your Dad driving up, we all say here comes Al Capone." My daughter told him that she hears that a lot from her friends, who mainly ask "is your Dad in the mafia?" To which she said she always replies no and tells them that her Dad's in "the flower business."
HA! I think that's exactly what we need photogravity...tools that come out of our fedoras. Like the Roy Rogers Quick Shooter Hat. Jim West (Wild Wild West) had tools in his hat too.

I think the "Wild Wild West" may have my favorite tv theme song ever!
The TSA inspected the hat very closely. Perhaps if I had put it through the X-ray machine, they wouldn't have checked it out so closely.
