Do you wear a fedora while driving?

[Il Cappello]

Flat caps are no problem, but I can't seem to get in or out of my car without knocking my hat off my head.

Do you wear yours while driving or do you take it off? If you take it off, where do you put it?

Even in my truck, a hat wants to hit the headrest. I usually drive alone and throw it in the passenger seat.

Up to 2 1/2” brim, I wear in the truck/car. I can get away with my 2 3/4” Open Road for a short drive, but anything over that hits the headrest.

Brimmed hats don’t allow me to hold my head in the most comfortable position so I take them off. There are several existing threads you might look through:

Thanks for the links, I searched "wear a hat in your car" but nothing appropriate was found. Guess I should have searched for truck or vehicle!

I tend to wear short brims of 1 7/8" or 2" with no issues. Even when I had a convertible. Driving 95 mph (allegedly) for 15 miles or so home from work with the top down and my hat on was heaven.

I actually do wear my hats while driving. I don't wear prescription sunglasses, so I use the hat brim for sunshade. I wear Akubra Camp Drafts and Bushman. I've always sat up very straight, with my upper back away from the seat back when I drive. In this position the brim might hit the headrest if I go over a sizable bump, but that's the only time - barring something catastrophic, of course. And I'm not a tall guy, so headroom isn't a problem.

Nope.....I suspect not having a fedora may have something to do with it.

Yes, all the time it will either be a newsboy, pork pie, 2 1/2 inch brim Panama or fedora.

When you drive a seventy-five year old car a head rest is not the only creature comfort that's lacking, but it does leave room for the hat.

Come to think of it, that's an astute observation.

Yes, on a short drive. I switch to my driving cap for longer trips.
