In a captivating image from Myanmar, we witness a Chinese farmer donning a palmleaf raincoat and carrying his trusty hoe, shielded by his wide-brimmed hat against nature's elements. Traveling back in time to medieval Spain, we encounter Saint James the Pilgrim depicted in two distinct artworks. The Circle of Pedro Berruguete presents us with an exquisite painting showcasing Saint James adorned with his iconic wide-brimmed hat. Meanwhile, an awe-inspiring statue from the 16th-17th centuries immortalizes this revered figure. Humor takes center stage as we stumble upon a comic postcard featuring a feeble Vicar who remains steadfastly untempted by the allure of a pretty girl. His wide-brimmed hat serves as both physical and metaphorical armor against temptation. The horrors of war come into focus during WW1 in Italy when we meet a cycling sharpshooter belonging to the Bersaglieri unit.

Venturing further east to Hai Phong in Vietnam, our attention is captured by an elegant woman sporting an extraordinary wide-brimmed hat that exudes grace and beauty amidst her surroundings. In China's mining operations, high-pressure water jets are utilized for efficiency and safety measures. Here stands testament to innovation as workers sport their sturdy helmets equipped with wide brims - shielding them from potential hazards while ensuring productivity prevails.
