I got 3, a black leather Dodge hat and an Australian Outback oil skin, the oilskin is faded brown, and worn right out but still worn while working outside. The Dodge one is the one I wear all the time, also almost worn out, greasy, sweatty and usually muddy. Had a white Westward tools racing hat a few years back, wore it while working on leaky engines then to school the next day, always had to wash it in prosolve, usually once a month till it wore out.
i drive a 2004 peterbilt dump truck so during the week it is pete hat with the bald eagle on it.......... but on saturday it is my orange and white tennessee volunteers football hat
I'm sitting at my computer looking at my cap rack. I see 1 black NASCAR, 1 black "Old Dude", 2 black Cisco Systems, 1 tan Sun Microsystems, 1 blue Ford Racing and 1 blue unmarked with a snap bill. One thing they all have in common is I didn't pay for them.

sounds like King Triton has more hats than I do, but I think I have quite a few. Different styles too. Ya gotta have 2 cowboy hats one for summer and a winter one; don't ya? I've got some fedoras and caps a few bucket hats for fishing and a bunch of ballcaps. When working out in the yard, on the truck, etc. it's either my 1989 World Series A's hat or an old whilte and blue Cubs hat. I normally wear a rotation of hats/caps to work or when just driving hither and yon.
i retired my favorite hat, it was a bud racing hat covered in dirt sweat and grease stains, then i got a new hat that said justin boots on the front and that is my favorite hat ive had, then my girlfriend decided she wanted it so she took it, which surprised me cuz it had sweat and grease stains on it, but she bought me a wrangler hat to replace it so ive been wearing that. i miss my justin boots hat though.
im always wearing a hat, i just dont feel right without one.

I probably have around 50 hats... I get them all the time from seed salesmen, semi-driver's at the warehouse, etc. I tend to give a lot of them away. Right now my work hat is a dark blue and gray Rusty Wallace hat with a big "2" embroidered on front and "Wallace" on the sides. It's getting pretty grubby, so I'm gonna try and wash it. If it survives the washing machine, I'll keep wearing it. If not, it gets retired. I tend to wear hats until they get so bad that I can't stand them anymore.
For the farm, I have a straw Resistol that I've worn for years. In winter I have a Carhartt Gore-Tex hat with ear flaps, or less often, a Carhartt stocking cap.
On the dash of the F250 is a Mossy Oak ball cap with "Ford" stitched on it. In the F150 is a ball cap with "Schneider Trucking" on front and a mesh back.
Oh, this is an easy one.... I have a straw cowboy hat that I wear EVERYWHERE... it keeps the sun out of my eyes and off of my ears at work, and it sets me apart from most of the yuppies in this town (Iowa City), except for the fact that not too long after I got the hat, they became a fashion statement or some such thing, so once in awhile, I see some poser walking around with a similar hat, but it never looks as good. I'm told that I "pull it off" better, since I'm actually a redneck.
My hat took hours to shape, and I've had people offer me all they had in thier pockets to buy it, but even though it only cost me $13, I can't sell it. It has sparked numerous conversations for me, and I've met literally dozens of girls because of it. In fact, I went out with a girl for awhile this summer who I met when she came up to ask if she could wear my hat. I'm the assistant superintendent at a golf course, and one day after work I was sitting at the bar there (without the hat on, for once), and a "regular" was sitting next to me for quite awhile without saying anything, and I was wondering why.... finally, he glances over, does a double take, and says, "oh, hey man, I didn't even recognize you without your hat and a cigar."
Anyway, here are a couple of pictures I found:
It's a little bent-up in this one... it was toward the end of a long night, if you can't tell from my incredibly alert facial expression:
