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

My lad laughs every time I try on a hat... I think I look cool in them, but he just falls about. Only thing I get away with is a bob cap. Wear that, I'm just about okay.

Ive wanted a decent felt hat for years. Its fur, not wool. [I got it off an auction site. Its from the 1980's] So its on its way from the States.I really hope I dont look like a mexican bandito

Oo ee oo ee o... Wa wa wa!
Hey gringo, dats a nice looking hat, peety your horse ess so ugly!
All you need is a poncho and a little cigar. Only kidding, nice looking hat that, I like it. Someone always takes the mick though, some unenlightened folk used to try and get a rise out of me when I wore my full length drovers coat and a wide brimmed hat. If only they knew that in my head I WAS a Regulator!

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

Oh great, I know what it is now! £36. £12 postage. Thanks for that.

I've often said it's like the wild west up there.

Nice looking hat; good score. To look like a Mexican bandito you'd need one of these:

Dave I think you're dooming yourself to a nickname like Clint or The Malpaso Kid forever more at this rate!

Both camoflauging and used to be waterproof... Until it got used to test patterns

Oooh is that your new hair-doo!

In the winter for me its the old standard wool beenie. Warm and cheap, and no massive brim to get in the way.

In the summer i don't really wear a hat, if i needed one with a brim for a bit of shade it would probably be a baseball cap design, again nice and small but functional.

I got loads of hats but sadly nothing too fancy, some amazing bonnet covers in this thread

I was in America lol it's my waterproof Sealskinz cap perfect for British summers

My £1 cotton hat i use for kayaking, great for dunking in the water and slapping back on your bonce soaking

Me and my bro in our waterproof and windproof Sealskinz merino lined beanies, great for camping in Scotland

That second one reminds me of my mate katies raving hat Rob, I've coveted it for some time now, it's a dominator veteran a few years running.... Were all allowed a guilty pleasure musically!

 

[GGTBod]

Man i am a Dominator veteran too lol i spent 15 years virtually living on the European rave scene, it is where my GGTBod name comes from i was known as the Geordie Gabba Traveller

Good to meet a fellow gabba! I'm starting to suspect some skynet situation whereby you're me from the future lol

 

[GGTBod]

if that is the case mate it is only fair to warn you not to take that job at the AA call centre on Scotswood Road it is gonna ruin your back

 

[Stevie777]

New land rover leather bush hat...unfortunately it might have to go. These style hats are for some people, i just look like a fat Freddie Kruger.

 

[bobnewboy]

In the summer - maybe 2 months a year - a generic bucket hat in MTP colours
The rest of the year - an Outdoor Research Seattle Sombrero. Light, comfy (I'm a baldy), and totally waterproof. Its even warm in the cold weather. Worth every penny.

after just reading this entire thread i come to the conclusion that i must be the only guy wearing headbands instead of hats/baseballcaps etc. ....

Corr, some major headwear snobbery earlier on in this thread, mind you there was a bit of general snobbery too

Maybe not the only one
