I love this piece, Ken. And as usual, I’m right there with you on the hair thing! It’s especially funny because I myself have also been looking for a hat all week. You are lucky they are great hat stores where you are. St. Louis used to be full of hats, but the industry of hat making has been murdered, along with many other culturally significant accomplishments of former black residents. There is one very neat store left here and it is run by an elderly black gentleman. It’s quite possible that he has the very hat you need. If you come to visit, you must look into it. I am afraid that they are quite expensive though, probably rather like those that you are circling around there. They are each considered a handcrafted masterpiece and intended to express your very identity. I do have one other thought, though. It may be time for you to cut your hair quite short. Could you do a fauxhawk? Could I do a fauxhawk?
Check out an Ecuadorian Panama hat at Montecristi Custom Hat Works (https://www.montecristihats.com/). You can get a "fino" for a mere $700! THEN you'll have something to write about!
Try on a Stetson Open Road. Don’t think of it as a cowboy hat - even if it is kinda - it lives somewhere between town and country in a grand old mansion on a hill.

It only has a 2.75 inch brim, which is fine for SFO but not a lot of shade for SaF. Sharp hat.
For summer, I'm shooting <sic> for "shade" and straw. I'll check it out.
