I recently got a Kangol. It's a great looking and very comfortable hat that I will likely wear often, and not just when I'm taping.
From what I can tell from various rig setup pictures, it seems that tapers typically wear it in its conventional form with the bill in front. I taped a show last weekend for the first time wearing the Kangol with the mics inside it. I decided to turn it around so the bill was in the back because it seemed like the vents on the backside were opened up more compared to the front where the top of the hat flattens out around the bill -- thinking that by wearing it backwards meant the sound didn't have as much material to go through to get to the mics. Admittedly, I haven't yet tried wearing it the other way and perhaps I'm overthinking this. I am very satisfied with the result I got, and of course, that's really what counts the most. But I still want to ask how others wear it while taping and if they have ever noticed a difference.
