In a word, No. Classic Cowboy is the only category that requires the wearing of a hat the entire match.

Nothing wrong with a derby. My kids make fun of mine, and that makes me like more.

Are hats required?
The manual says:
Participants may choose the style of costume they wish to wear, but
all clothing must be typical of the late 19th century, a B-western movie, or Western television series... ALL clothing and equipment MUST be worn appropriately, how it was intended and how
it would have been worn in the OLD WEST or as seen on B-Western movies and television.
Hats were typical in the late 19th century. So, I would say they are required, but that is only my opinion. The worst that could happen is getting a match DQ for improper dress. Your best bet is to read the manual, all of it, not just the section about clothing, because clothing is mentioned in other places in the manual. Items you can't wear are:
The use or presence of any outlawed item is a Stage Disqualification.
• Modern shooting gloves.
• Short sleeve shirts (Male competitors only)
• Short sleeve tee shirts, long sleeve tee shirts, and tank tops for all competitors. Long
sleeved Henley type shirts with buttons are acceptable.
• Modern feathered cowboy hats (Shady Bradys). Straw hats of traditional design (e.g.,
Stetson, Bailey, sombreros,) are acceptable.
• Designer jeans
• Ball caps
• All types of athletic shoes or combat boots no matter the material from which they are
constructed.
• Nylon, plastic, or Velcro accouterments.
• The displaying of manufacturer’s, sponsor’s or team logos on apparel. Manufacturer’s
labels on such apparel or equipment are acceptable
Dress like a character in the Old West, and have fun. That is what SASS is all about.
