Hats

[OC Richard]

Being an American, one who used to live in a place that can have heavy rain, and now lives in a place with brutal sun, a hat would be a must.

And not just any kind of hat, but a hat with a brim that can keep sun off the face, ears, and back of neck, and keep rain from pouring down your face and the back of your jacket collar.

I would go with one of the tweed hats which are worn both in Scotland and Ireland for outdoor in-the-weather activities, such as the sorts of hats variously called Trilby, Elgin, Newmarket, Grouse, Shooting, Walking, Fishing, etc.
