Today we have Love Thief by Hank Thompson (1951). I'm afraid I'd have to give Thompson the prize for wearing the dorkiest hats, but he sure made good music. THE WESTERNER https://thewesterner.blogspot.com/

His later pics are more flattering, but for his time, that was the style!

That's early 50's "Honky Tonk". Had an uncle that wore one but he went 1for2 in head-ons with 18 wheelers. Johnny Horton wrote a song about him.
