I remember those hats! Haven't seen one in a coon's age though.

They look out of place in the UK but it's nice wearing something nobody else has apart from Robin Hood reenactors on scooters...

I hope you don't think I was extracting the urine with my description, I really like the hat, it's just like a really bonny dog that has mixed dubious parentage and you think "How did that happen?"

Have had a look around online and there's a few sources available for when I'm flush.

Cheers for posting it up, had always liked the shape but had no idea of the name to go looking.

Good stuff. I found many companies unwilling to ship from the US to the UK for some reason

yesterday [thursday] I got a new hat from a second hand shop for £7. The label on the inside says olney - have no idea if that's good or not - but seems well made and fits me pretty good even if alittle tight, but that just means it won't get blown off

to replace my old [5 ish years - which is very good for me as I have a habit of losing them] battered and recently dog chewed hat...

Looks like their Arran Cotton Safari Hat, LINK

OOOOoooo a safari hat

your googlefu is better than mine cheers at least I know what I've got so if it turns out to be good [an I lose it] I can get another

On a separate note I found this guy on utube [rob with a b] - some chap in south africa who likes to make fire, & document his success - quite funny vids. He hat a brimmed hat but with a mesh top - looks good for the heat to keep sun out of eyes but still let loads of air to the head - ok if you've got hair, not so good if your bald

Good looking hat; but it's not a cowboy hat. Looks like their "Gun Club" hat.

That style's called a "breezer."

***.. 200 bucks?

I'll maybe have to wait before ordering one!

 

[nitrambur]

stetson outland here http://www.qualityhats.com/sport&.htm website looks a tad dodgy though

Yeah they're a bit pricey. I'd go for an Akubra instead (but they ain't really cheap either) www.akubra.com.au/products_country.html

I do not have just one outdoor hat; I've several that I use.

I wear the baseball cap for outdoors stuff.

I use a Stormy Kromer hat for hunting (warning, deer harvest in this picture). The toy dog is my personal mascot, Redhound.

Another Stormy Kromer hat.

I only tend to wear a hat in the rain or snow.
I have an Akubra Snowy River that is over 20 years old and has been stuffed in rucksacks and I'm trying to get reshaped.
I also have a Lemon Squeezer Scout Hat repro for rain when I'm scouting.

 

[Duggie Bravo]

OK, thought I'd posted this, but it hasn't appeared.

I only wear a hat when it's raining, I hate wearing a hood.

I have a 20+ year old Akubra Snowy River, it's been screwed up, stuffed in bags and is in dire need of reshaping.

 

[Duggie Bravo]

Can't seem to put a picture of my two hats on.
I have a 20+ year old Snowy River that has seen screwed up and stuffed in ruck sacks.
I also have a repro Scout Lemon Squeezer, but I only wear either in the rain or snow.
