Show us your Bushcraft Hat (hopefully will end up pic heavy)

[Skynoadar]

I have a nice black leather Kakadu bushranger hat, owned it for about 6 years now and it's starting to really shape up nicely and be individual to me. I do want to add something to it's band to make it more individual I must admit, and add in a chin cord of one style or another for security when in stronger winds. It has also had over 600 quid collected in it over 3 occasions, what can I say collecting money in a awesome hat just works

Can't seem to put a picture of my two hats on.
I have a 20+ year old Snowy River that has seen screwed up and stuffed in ruck sacks.
I also have a repro Scout Lemon Squeezer, but I only wear either in the rain or snow.

they look good in post #158 Duggie

So it's worked and been posted lots of times, must've been a bad IT day.

Here's my current bunnets;



The blue woolen hat is my winter hat, the tan waxed cotton cap is my summer hat and the rather sorry looking Fjall Raven cap is my favorite hat. I always have two when out and about the Fjall Raven and a spare.

For me a hat has to stay on the head in a gale. I can't go the normal woolen hats as they lose their shape when wet, I hate that. The wooly hat in the above picture, isn't normal, it's really a folded up balaclava, it's fine when wet in that shape, mega warm too.

Send him somewhere East of Suez
Where the best is like the worst...


I dont know for absolute sure , but Cha Wallah's are pretty thin on the ground these days.\
It's just that hat...probably just uses it for going on the pith with.

Here is me in my Jackaroo, bought in 2002 in Sydney, just as we were starting work out there, worn all day every day out there and most days since back home

 

[resnikov]

Here is my old hat which is going to be hung up for the last time.
It's an Akubra, no idea what style.

And here is my new bush hat, forgot I had this as I bought it 6 years ago for a military living history group which never got off the ground. It too is an Akubra.

Will post a pick of me wearing it next time I'm in the woods.

Not very arty but here you go.



Kangaroo Leather Barmah hat and to Brazilian Tarp hats.

Still keep an eye out for something nice now and then though

My tarp basebal cap has gone back for repairs after just 1 month..

Front stitching has died so they said they'd fix it or send a newone out to me.. very sad as it's a lovely hat, even if it does smell like feet.

 

[blacktimberwolf]

You're supposed to wear it on your head...

Only a waxed baseball cap for me. I have a deep hatred of wide brimmed hats,and the snobbery in this thread.

Love the look of the tarp baseball caps though.

A pic of my winter Tilley hat, all washed and kept by the door for the rainy cold days ahead.

My Rogue hat has been around the world with me and I don't ever leave home without it. Its getting on for 15 years old now and its well worn.



Taking my daughter round Bewdley Safari park on her 2nd Birthday...(OMG I can't believe that was 4 years ago already)


The material is so rotten now that you can literally pull the material apart on the rim with very little effort. I bit the bullet a while back and ordered a new one. It should be arriving any day now.

I wouldn't recommend the supplier though as I was told it was going to be with me within 48 hours. 5 days later I was still waiting so I called them to be told it was coming straight from South Africa. 3 weeks later I had to ring them again and it was supposedly delivered on the 12 September!!! They have sent out another one over a week ago and still no sign...grrr!

Dave, That looks like the Akubra Cattleman, a good hat with a nice broad brim. Still in production today.
