Oooh, if I ever become a hustler, I'll wear my tam to the hall. That should bring about some action. That and a good pair of suspenders. Although my tam is part of the most expensive outfit I've ever worn...
I like a hat with a wide brim to protect my face from the sun, and I don't like changing hats when I get to the pool room. Green is my favorite color, so I go with a green wide brim hat:
My walking stick is highly fashionable, but it's also practical: it converts to a pool cue.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
Damn dude, are you trying to train an AI model or just like to ask dumb crap?
A cap can keep the sun out of your eyes. Same for any light source, especially ones above the table. I hate to answer such trivial questions but that is the gist of it.

They can't tell your eyes are red if they can't see your eyes!
I went through a 4 year "cowboy hat" phase, followed by a several year "panama hat" phase, before landing on something about ½ way in-between.
It is essentially impossible just to buy a hat and have it fit your personality, you have to migrate around for a while until it all clicks.

I have a few fedoras. Dating back to the 50's and 60's so a shorter brim. I have a full blown 2.5'' Indiana Jones Stetson.
I don't wear them. I have some Borsalinos if anyone wants to buy them let me know. Good deal.
I believe one of them is beaver and the other is rabbit. Brand new over $1K. Mine is from the desirable era of the 1950's from a shop in Italy. If you know Borsalino then you know Borsalino. I buy to sell for heavy profit. These aren't costume hats.

I am searching for a Panama hat so I can wear to the cigar lounge.
There's a company in Panama that makes them. Finely weaved but are thousands of $$$$.
For Panamas, make sure its good quality. A lot of foreigners will set up shop and exploit the locals. Pay them very little for hats costing thousands.
For me a hat brim of any length is just too distracting when down on a shot.
I never shoot pool with a hard on.
Opps never mind it's hat on.

I’ve been wearing a proper hat for the last 25 years.
I think of it as a way to remember my father & godfather.
I call this leather stingy brim my “poolroom bum” hat….
Don’t normally wear a hat playing pool, but when the room was crowded, like anypocketanytime night, I’d keep it safe on my head from spills and squishes.
