    Sure do, it´s so very conforming. My wife contends that it was because it was the simplest way of preventing debris, lice, etc. in the days before obsessive daily showers. I think it´s a silly but harmless fashion statement. During a summer job in my early twenties c1960, a supervisor lectured us with ¨a man is not properly dressed without a hat.¨ I knew it was bs even then. I do wear a billed cap when sailing, or cleared to land late afternoon into the sun, or driving a convertible with the top down. Never when not needed, unlike some of my students during class!
