My current yardwork hat. At one time it was a uniform olive color. Now it's... not. It was still damp from this morning and felt disgusting to pick up, and I'm the one who wears it.
Ten months later....

And one more year later. It seems to have stabilized - apparently there is only so much dirt and sweat that it can hold. I guess now it's just a matter of wear.

Never seen a petrified hat...
Don't smoke around that thing!

This was given to me by Coach Chris Mack in '09. It's one of those rarities that perfectly fits my coconut.

I do believe, PEAKES, MULE PACKER, and BILL BATES hats are past do for an oil change.

My old barn hat ain't getting anything more than a good brushing now and then. Beyond that I might need to file an environmental impact statement with the EPA.
from last Spring.

Been wearing a Boonie seasonally for over 40 years, some of them get pretty funky.

I'd whack that thing HARD with a good stick at least once 'fore I put it on my head.

My favorite hat with the feathers birds give me while I work on the ranch.
Been with me for over 6 years.

Is that a Bronco or an F-100?

Good Eye - it is a 1970 Ford F 100. Was given to me by a friends wife after he died. I have no vehicles newer than 1979 Ford Pickups. Like my hat, they just don't quit!

My old skanky fishing hat. Most of my old skanky hats get relegated to lawn cutting hats and I go through 3 or 4 a year that get knocked off and under the finish mower on the back of the tractor.

My nasty Jones style hunting hat is on its 4th decade.

My dear wife bought this sho' nuff Stetson for me for our second anniversary. Spuds Mackenzie and the band went on when it was new.
She made me quit wearing "that old thing" some years ago & got me a nice, shiny new bright white Stetson that I never really warmed to.
I recently came across it hidden in a closet. It's now my go to.

Nasty hat
My "working-in-the-yard" hat. My wife won't let me bring it in the house

The hat continues. Here it is for 2017. As noted last year it seems to have stabilized and looks little changed, although I've been wearing it pretty regular and soaking it with sweat until it drips.

Wish I could show you mine. Got knocked off my head and the bushog ate it. Frank
No pic but just tossed not one but two city issue hats.
Holes torn from encounters with all-rod and unistrut and
the brims looked like a duck blowing a raspberry.

I still have a full head of hair so the only time I ever wear a hat is at work. There I got to wear a hard hat, when the job is over I leave the hat and they give me a new one when I show up for the next job. I did take a couple home at the end of the last job and gave them to my step daughters. 11 and 12. They thought they were cool all decked out with goggles and goggle retainers.
I am givien nice hats from all kinds of companies and they are often given out as a commemorative of certain jobs. I give them away.

Here is the hat for 2018. Not much change, maybe a little fraying on the brim.
