what about porkpie hats? fedoras? fez'? I disagree with your "tropical hat", it is a pith helmet. your cap is more properly a "baseball cap" because there are a wide variety of caps to include, flat caps, newsboy caps, watch caps. what about "rain hats"? fisherman's caps, hunting caps, Tirolean hats, and straw hats. Further, visors are not hats but rather "head gear" . By your metric, helmets have been totally omitted, and you left out my favorite, the boater!
