you would'nt catch me dead in such an outfit... :yikes: (my headbands are homemade from towels and get tied with a knot @ the back of my head- and they're multifunctional...)

What no traffic cones? Headbands, Ive got a dale of norway, 1950's olympic team colours.
That pigeon is a classic.
That land rover hats nice as well. Anything that says LR on is nice though.

headbands are multifunctional: they stop sweat running into my eyes (and over my glasses), i can tuck pencils and other small objects behind them, use them as improvised ovem mittens(is that the correct word?!) to lift a pot from the fire, tie them accross my face to prevent frostbite on my nose (masks fog up my glasses!) etc.---- try that with a hat

This finally fits me now. [Thanks to whoever sent me the chinese water deer tusk and buttons. Ive forgotten who it was.]

Here's a few of mine:

Tarp Hat:

An older hat that's extremely similar to the Akubra Snowy River that's since replaced it

A Stetson that gets worn less often

Looking Smart Santaman!

These Akubra hats are great, but with your tilley, you can just fold it up and put it in a pocket, where as with this, you need to take a hatbox with you on your journey!

Or Am I wrong....?

I have errrrr.....several as I enjoy making leather hats in my spare time. but I usually end up giving them away or recycling them as I'm never satisfied with the results. I've always got a few hats on the go though.

This is the hat I usually grab if it's raining or snowing, I don't particularly like the style but it's tried & tested & really water repellant, because it's made from fairly stiff leather, it doesn't collapse in strong winds either.



A few months ago I started a tutorial on how to make a leather hat & as luck would have it, I still have the finished article ......


Here it is taking a shower after a wax job,.......... this may be hat porn but if anyone is tempted to watch it I suggest they should seriously consider getting a life ..

Do you have a link to the tutorial?

Got one of these a few months ago to match with my trusty gorka suit, which I love very much.

I believe it was on ebay as russian m45 boonie hat.

I believe its 100% heavy duty cotton canvas.
I just love how versatile it is, keeps the weather off nicely, aids concealment when hunting, can stuff it in a pocket, enough space for a merino wool beanie underneath. Keeps mosquitoe net off the skin. Tweak the brim to how i like it, can wear it under my hood too. When its not being worn just lower it like a hood n it hangs off the drawcord. And compliments my gorka suit nicely

Might take a while to find the link. Black Timberwolf was banned a few years ago.
