Please help

Photo 1 is a black cowboy hat, felt and cheap but wanted to try the style. This is the smallest design and i feel like it looks comically large on my head despite this being the recommended size for my body.

Photo 2 is another cheap palm leaf cowboy hat, this one is even bigger and that plus the color looks like Im wearing it as a joke or something since it sticks out.

Photo 3 is some kind of western hat that I found on a shelf, I kind of like this one and feel it suits me well for daily wear but it is a cotton hat with the consistency of duck cotton (like a carhartt jacket but its a dorfman)

Photo 4 is my black straw cody james jamboree hat. This was my fancy hat until today, when I kept seeing my reflection and immediately thinking of the motorcycle dude from spongebob and now I cant take myself seriously in it.

Photo 5 is my first western ish style hat, it was a sun hat that I made into Arthur's hat from rdr2 and I wear it daily currently because its actually really comfortable and functions perfectly especially in wind and bad weather so although I do enjoy it, I am a husband and a father who has to go to family events and church and I need to consider the dignity of my other family members when it comes to this one.

If you havent seen my other post, Ive recently shaved my head and want to find some other hat style. Wore a mesh back trucker cap for years and I know from watching my co-workers that these offer almost no sun protection.

Any advice is appreciated, not sure if my clothes are the issue or if I dont know what Im looking for. I know I am overthinking it but a lot of it stems from the shaving of the head, which was due to my hairline thinning, and I have been disgusted by the "thinning on top" look since I was a kid.

Does this hat suit me?

Recently shaved my head and decided to ditch the trucker caps ive been wearing for the last 5 years. I decided on going with the cowboy hat/western look since sun protection seems practical now. I was originally wearing a sun hat daily and saving the black straw hat for semi formal occasions but the people in r/cowboyhats tore me up as there is apparently very strict criteria with what kind of hats you can and cant wear based om your stature and face shape that I dont meet for these hats, but I dont care. Just wondering what you guys think, do I look ridiculous?

How's this one look on me?

Previously posted a photo of another hat I had been wearing, wondering what impression I give off wearing this one.

What style of hat do you think suits my face best?

Not sure if it helps but Im bald with a beard, broad shoulders and somewhat heavy at around 230 lbs 5' 11".

I have been having trouble finding a hat that looks good on me. I currently am liking the stetson revenger 4x or the saint martim gambler hat but those are a little on the fancier side than what Im currently looking for (looking for black straw or palm) but are around the size I have in mind (3 to 4 inch brim). I want to stay away from a fedora look and also find that the jason aldean line of hats look a little too big on me for casual/daily wear. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Im currently rocking this cody james sunhat that I modified after this photo to look like the hat from red dead redemption lol.
