Bushcraft UK hat

[monkey boy]

So to keep a long story short. Last month I left my favourite hat on the plane on my way to the amazon jungle. I was gutted, as I had owned it for years. It was a waxed canvas brown cap that looked weathered and faded. You can see it in the hiking photo below with the waterfall in the back ground. I was very attached to this hat and practically lived in it. If anyone has a favourite hat, then look after it! Don't make the silly mistake that I did and take it abroad with you as you will regret losing it and may not find another like it, especially if you purchased it abroad in the first place.
Anyway since I have returned, I have been on a quest to find a new hat. I purchased a plane chocolate brown waxed cap on Amazon and customised it with a bushcraft UK patch that has been sitting in a draw for many years. I have to say, I do like the way it has turned out. Although, with being new it doesn't have the same feel as my old cap and I am hoping that it will wear and fade overtime like my previous one.
I don't know if you would agree, but hats can be a very personal thing for people. Especially if you are outdoorsy and can't leave the house without one.
If you have a favourite hat, why don't you show off here and wear it with pride.

Yea I have a beanie I am Quite sentimentally attached to (last hat my mum bought me). I lost it moving house a few years back and spent ages trying to find a replacement, luckily my wife found it packed away, I was unreasonably pleased

Here’s my favourite a trucker from a skiing bar that’s slightly worn, works great for keeping my hood forward, sun and light rain off me, and doesn’t make me look like an extra from platoon to wear generally

An excellent looking cap monkeyboy . Although I'm sorry you lost your old one the new one will soon feel just right and look the part too!

Thank you Tony, it's growing on me. It definitely needed the patch.

I wish I could carry off Les Hiddins sartorial masterpiece.
Sadly a simple bush hat or fold up ball cap does me.

I mentioned in another thread that I was recently gifted a Scottish Regimental Tam, Lovat green I think is its colour. I may have to start watching that.
