I wear a beret most days, at least in the winter. That, and my goatee, make me the last surviving member of the "beat" generation.
The "Monty" beret is the bomb!! I was recently in NYC and a waiter at Junior's on West 45th made a point of asking me where he could get one!!
I wear it when I jam at Smalls, too. It gives me inspiration/connects me to the bebop era!!

I once made a conductor happy by putting the pacific cloth bag I keep my horn in when it's in the case over my bell. It's heavier than flannel. It's main purpose is to slow silver from tarnishing though.
