SHOW US YOUR FAVORITE HAT
So, all are safely tucked in and I've poured myself a decent class of good bourbon and pealed a few tangelos and thought I would start a thread about our favorite hat. Here is mine to kick things off. Not vintage (out of Orvis), but destined to be. The added bonus is that it is made right here in the Good Ol' USofA!

I gave up on the easily portable baseball hats after badly sunburning the back of my neck.
This has been my fav for the last few years. Pic was taken at the Laguna Seca Moto GP, last year.

CH47 Gunner has one like mine. I put a 3-D silver or pewter Atlantic salmon pin on the band. It looks very real, superb detail.
I also have a brown one in felt. Looks a lot like the hat that Will Snow wore as Lord John Roxton on the TV series "The Lost World." But his hat was made by Akubra and is probably better quality.

This is my new fav. I have rosacea so keeping the sun off my face is a good thing. I also like to keep my head warm in the cold weather. I got it on a trip to Yellowstone in June as the straw hat wasn't cutting it. It is a Stetson Wildwood. It is made of wool, is crushable and water repellent. Another plus is that it is made here in the good ole USA.

NO ball CAPS in my collection...
Got the black Akubra Federation Deluxe on today. There are only 3-4 months in Florida that I can wear the fur felts, so must take advantage!

This thread got me wondering. I just looked in the hall closet and took stock. Things are out of hand! I counted 17 baseball type caps and 9 western hats (2 of them straw) and a old dress uniform 9 point bus driver type. I usualy wear a old charlie one horse stetson but its got a torn brim. I also wear a james dean stingy brim stetson a lot, but that one I wear with the brim straight and front turned down like guys did in the 40s.
I raised a mentaly challanged nephew that always wanted to be "A cowboy". These are my very last pictures of him. Coincidently I was giveing him a "Tom Mix" real stetson and my wife took the picture. He died a couple months later. I took the hat back, but it doesnt look as good on me!

That looks a lot like the hat that mystery author C.J. Box wears. He's from Wyoming, and his main character is a game warden.

A western wear store was closeing up and I belive I bought that for half price or less! I thought I might join one of those cowboy sass shoots someday, but never have. Back around 1963 I was in rosswell new mexico in a clothing store ran by some old man at least 80 years old. He pulled out a old stetson box with a half inch dust on it. I bought a beautifull old stetson that probley was made between 1900 and 1930? It was my favorite. One rainey day I left my dogs in the house, came back and it looked like a welders beenie!

Although I regularly wear a Dobbs fedora or a Biltmore pork pie this leather ivy cap is my favorite. The gentleman on the right is Allie Cougle, Master Cymbal Smith who had just finished making me a couple of nice pies.

Now there Ol' Pard,
You tell ol' Slim there, that I'd ride the River with him...Anytime, Anyplace.
That young man is Lawman material.
He's the only one there that knows where to put his trigger finger for a photo shoot.
Like I said before, I've ridden lots of miles with old hands just like that...And nary a one ever shot me, even by accident.
All My Best Wish to All Y'all.
Su Amigo,
Dave
Oh, I forgot the hat deal...
No one was injured during the snappin' of this photo.

There is only one hat to have. At least it is the only one we have here.
Laugh at it, but it does keep your head warm, and it is fun if you count yourself as a browncoat.

My Hat
Here's mine, unfortunately I let it go years ago and have regretted it ever since. Didn't really need it anymore after I left the Charlie Daniels Band..........

Here's mine. It is a reproduction Marine Corps field hat. This is the style worn by Marines from about 1890 until 1912. It has a fore and aft crease, a Marine officer's scarlet and gold hat cord, and the Marine emblem is pinned on the left side. Around 1904, the EGA (eagle, globe, and anchor) was moved to the front. This particular EGA is an antique and is made of sterling silver.
In 1912, the Corps went to the Montana peak, which is often called a campaign hat.
This is the third field hat of this style that I've had since 1972. I lost the first one in a swamp near Auburn, Alabama while hunting bunnies after a rare snow storm. The second one I loaned to a friend who wore it during reenactments and he bugged me until I sold it to him. This one has been worn in Kosovo, Afghanistan, and points in between.
BTW, I'm the one in FRONT.
Here's a better picture of the hat.

Favorite Hat
Hi, Joe:
I think "Billy Jack" wore a different style hat, like a Navajo Indian Style.

usually a beat to heck SF giants cap that has lasted about 15 seasons. its all nasty and stained on the inside and out and wife doesnt like me to wear it out, so she got me a nice new one and a repro SF Seals cap. i didnt wear it until after the world series for fear of jinx. since they won. maybe i can retire it.
i really like this. stetson doesnt seem to make this model anymore. gun is cool too.
