I ve had a Barbour Bushmans Hat for it must be over twenty years now, waxed cotton, in Green, its been folded, sat on bent buckled only every rewaxed it once,
Wide brims love them... keeps the sun off, the rain does not drip down your neck, and when walking through woodland, when you see a bit of brush, head down and the hat brim covers your face..
, only down side is its not warm in the winter... but them again a buff goes on the head night time is wooly hat time...
