I have a big straw hat I wear when the sun is high, shades even my shoulders. I
use disposable sweat bands under it since I prespire greatly. I also have some
nice bandanas a friend sent me that can be soaked in water and have a gel in
them that keeps them moist for a long time.
Due to a need to get rid of a bunch of shirts from my former corporate life I
wear long sleeve white cotton dress shirts in the garden also. The neighbors do
stare when I wear my old tux shirt though, I think it's the ruffles. Helps cut
down on the trips to the dermatologist to get little spots excised.
