Think boater, do you think barbershop quartet (america?) or butcher (UK). Think panama, is it a British colonial ex-pat? Think brown fedora, adventure seeking archeologist? I think the only way to stop this is if hats were more prevalent. If you haven't got a hat everyone, go buy one, preferably from your local hatter.
