It just makes no sense to me. If the brim is blocking your vision, why not just do what this genius did?
Perhaps the plastic is to let some filtered light in so you can see your work better.

that's exactly what it is for ... just like the visors you see with the tinted plastic brimsPerhaps the plastic is to let some filtered light in so you can see your work better.

My first thought was of the visors worn by actors playing accountants and bookkeepers and such in older movies. According to some quick Google research, the green or blue colored visors allegedly helped to minimize eye strain caused by incandescent lights and candles in offices. I suppose the modern version of this would be non-prescription eyeglasses that have a mild green tint to the lenses, ostensibly to minimize eye strain caused by computer screens. At my last place of employment there were a few women who worked in the offices who wore them and said they worked well, so there might be some actual medical validity to it.that's exactly what it is for ... just like the visors you see with the tinted plastic brims...

Btw, was wondering if the Stetson/Hatco Outlet is near you... ever been?Interesting hats ... sad occasion. Fatal fire that started in an indoor fireworks display in 1955. To this day you cannot buy fireworks in Springfield, Missouri. My grandmother worked at that store after they rebuilt it. My brother worked for Diamond Garage next door as a teen.

It is up in St. Joe, but I have yet to make it there.
