Being a bald man who regularly spends time outside at work I like to keep a straw hat around for protection. The downside is they can easily get beat up in a work truck.
You can buy hat holders to prevent this, but why do that when you have a wire hanger and some duct tape.
I may add some tape to the portion the hat actually sits on to help spread out the stress.

Nice. You could also bend the wire to make a belt loop and bypass the tape.

That would’ve worked, but I wanted the tape to protect the carpet and painted metal behind it from the end of the hanger if it shifts when I take the hat on and off.

If you need to borrow it I can sterilize it for you.

Nice. My headwear of choice is a baseball cap, e xcept when I’m working in the yard, then it’s a safari hat. Makes me feel like I’m a big game hunter as I drive the mower around the yard.

Where might one find a hat like that? All the straw hats I can find are hideous or gaudy.
This is what we'll show whenever you publish anything on Kinja:

My left testicle hurts just thinking about that.

I believe it is from Rural King, but I’m not 100% certain. I have another straw hat I keep at home. One came from Rural King and the other is from Cabelas.

Not in the free materials I can use from work. The next time I’m on call and bring the truck home I may make some improvements.
I’m trying to get all my gear more organized, and this was an easy step one.

I have a baseball cap in the truck too. On really hot days I prefer the straw hat because my head doesn’t seem to get as sweaty .

I hear you. I just don’t like the chance of getting burned through the gaps in the straw weave.
