Take a similar type and color strap from another cap and add to the strap on 
your good cap; sometimes this is a decent solution, but not always. BTDT.

Al,  I don't wear caps for the same reason you say you don't, although I
think I've seen you in a cap and you looked fine.
A cap just flat doesn't fit my head.  The adjustable feed store type have to
be in the last notch and then they sit on top
like a beanie with a brim.

I have always liked the way men wore "fedora" type hats in the 30's and
40's.  Wish that was still the style today.  It used to be such a TREAT to
get a free Wayne Feeds cap at the feedmill, or a Pioneer Seed cap, etc.  I
used to just about sleep in a feedstore/ball cap but since I have been
teaching, I don't wear one much anymore.  Besides that, most of the "low
crown" caps that are popular now don't fit my enormous head very well.
Anymore I wear a wide brim Barmah hat I bought at the Got to be NC Festival
one year, to protect me from the sun. I like to wear my reproduction IH
"turtle shell" helmet, aka pith helmet aka safari hat, but  it doesn't give
as much sun protection because the brim is smaller.

In the wintertime I usually wear a cap with a hood over it when I am doing
farm work.  My Carhartt jacket has such a heavy hood that if I turn my head,
such as looking before I pull out on the road, my cap stays still, so when I
turn my head back, the hat is now "Crooked!"  So I usually just go hat-less
then too.

I guess that is more about hats than anyone wanted to know.....
