Definitely.
But only if the hat is light-tight and can be used as a lens cap/shutter with large barrel lenses.

I'll pass thank you very much. That hat won't keep the snow, rain or sun off my neck.

A hat of some type is necessary for the dress code as well as a movable sunshade. I prefer a western hat myself.

I find an M 65 field jacket with its 4 large pockets, with the liner in winter, and without it in summer to be my favourite coat for photography.

I've thought about buying a photography vest because I could use all those pockets, but I'd be too embarrassed to wear it.

The pipe is best reserved for off-duty moments, because it gets in the way when raising a camera to your eye, and the smoke and ash are inimical to sharpness - although that, of course, is a bourgeois concept.

Very innovative photographer though, allowed to wear whatever he liked as far as I'm concerned.

I would feel if I wore a photographers vest far too conspicuous for the street shooting I mainly do these days

I wore a vest for while. The pockets were great for 4x5 film holders but then the rest of the stuff didn't fit!

How does it work with wide-brim hats when one holds a camera like an SLR in portrait orientation? It doesn't hit the brim?
