I have several I'm fond of: an Akubra Snowy River, a Real Deal Brazil tarp hat, and old boonie hat I was issued in Desert shield/Storm, and a pith safari helmet. I'll try to get photos of then all up later but for now here's a couple of shots of the tarp hat

I have a rogue suede hat that I got in south africa... can't see it on their website though. Also have a tilley t3 but always wanted a genuine od us boonie from the 60's. rare as rocking horse poo though.

I have for a long time resisted buying a Tilley hat because everyone I had ever seen seemed to be pretty shapeless (with a round top and a round rim that you seemed unable to shape). Anyhow, I have recently come across the TH5; a nice hemp number that is also nicely shaped and has some decent airholes. About to test it out this weekend.

Ahhh - an Englishman amongst the Aussie / Yankee wanabees. My sartorial compliments sir. Only one "IQ reducer" baseball cap so far (and on a pretty girl so that's okay!) thankfully

Sadly your barrels appear to be on sideways!

You get a pass :)

There is of course a practical value to a wide brimmed hat - in both rain and sun, but 9 days out of 10, I am with Bushwacker, a flat cap works...lets face it, they are pretty common amongst people who work outdoors in all weathers :) So...they make a great Bushcraft hat too!

Posted pics(well one of the kids did) of my akubra in april last year, sadly still can't figure out how to do it. I also wear a rogue airhead in this hot weather.

Yeah its shame how they have become popular.... more now for the looks then the reasons for having one..... thought about changing but everything I try, just seems to not come up to the one I've used for 20 odd years... used to have a flat cap but did not get on with it.. found it good for wearing when my kids were on my shoulders... :), other wise just wore the Barbour wax
