No, but working outdoors on a sunny day, a wide brim hat is welcome.
I have one that was specially designed to wear along with headphones,
with openings in the brim for the headphones' head band. You can't
pull the headphones off quickly without taking off the hat, but it
does the job nicely when you need it. There's even a "Lawrence of
Arabia" flap in the back to keep the sun off your neck. Like all good
things, it seems to have been discontinued by the manufacturer, Koala
Windsocks (they make microphone wind screens, too)
My problem is that the wide brim changes my perception of imaging a lot.
Even a baseball cap is a little bit audible, but something like a Stetson
or a Gilligan hat really screws me up.
Not a problem with headphones but it's a fast problem as soon as I take it
off.

Until recently this Mix with the Masters advertisement was running on
gearslutz.com:

It features a photo of Chris Lord-Alge apparently mixing in the studio
while wearing a baseball cap. Maybe the tutorial is worth it, but the
image gives one pause.
