High-Albedo Bowler Hat
To complement (and compliment) hippo's Retroreflective pinstripes

...and also to maintain the stereotype that we Londoners all dress like characters from The Avengers in the '60s.

Essentially, this is a bowler hat, with an astoundingly high albedo, and yet still black.

..with one of those luminous gamps, as in the street scenes of "Blade Runner"?

What do you mean 'stereotype'? - *I* dress like a character from The Avengers [chorus of "What? Diana Rigg?"].

Its similarity to the moon (when viewed from above) might cause moths (as well as other creatures whose navigation systems rely on the moon), to flock around the wearer.

I'd like a hat with a little daisy sprouting from the top - but then I've had a few too many perhaps...

Flocking moths

Thanks for the link, [jurist]. I needed that. I thought he was going for a "10 gallon bowler" or something.

My first thought was of a hat with a high sexual instinct or drive, i.e., a high *libido*. Perhaps it is both.

So it's a pith helmet?
