Panama Hats in Qatar?

Even though it is so hot in Qatar and the Middle East, why don't non-Arab men - Westerners, Asians, & Africans, for example - wear panama hats?

These are straw hats with wide brims made for tropical climates. Do you think a man would be laughed at if he wore a straw hat when walking or working outside?

I like that Idea of a Paper bag in the shape of a Panama Hat!    "Every once in a while, declare peace -- it confuses the hell out of your enemies." - Quark quotes a Rule of Acquisition, "The Homecoming"

i don't know if you get them here, but surely you 'll be laughed at wearing it in the city...I think it would look cool on beaches though.

You can wear a paper bag on your head nowadays and no one will think it unusual. However, it's more the art of baseball caps that are being worn nowadays.
