I have a nice black leather Kakadu bushranger hat, owned it for about 6 years now and it's starting to really shape up nicely and be individual to me. I do want to add something to it's band to make it more individual I must admit, and add in a chin cord of one style or another for security when in stronger winds. It has also had over 600 quid collected in it over 3 occasions, what can I say collecting money in a awesome hat just works :)

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.

they look good in post #158 Duggie:)

Here's my current bunnets;

My hats.jpg

The blue woolen hat is my winter hat, the tan waxed cotton cap is my summer hat and the rather sorry looking Fjall Raven cap is my favorite hat. I always have two when out and about the Fjall Raven and a spare.

For me a hat has to stay on the head in a gale. I can't go the normal woolen hats as they lose their shape when wet, I hate that. The wooly hat in the above picture, isn't normal, it's really a folded up balaclava, it's fine when wet in that shape, mega warm too.

I dont know for absolute sure , but Cha Wallah's are pretty thin on the ground these days.\
It's just that hat...probably just uses it for going on the pith with.

Here is my old hat which is going to be hung up for the last time.
It's an Akubra, no idea what style.

And here is my new bush hat, forgot I had this as I bought it 6 years ago for a military living history group which never got off the ground. It too is an Akubra.

My tarp basebal cap has gone back for repairs after just 1 month.. :(

Front stitching has died so they said they'd fix it or send a newone out to me.. very sad as it's a lovely hat, even if it does smell like feet.

My Rogue hat has been around the world with me and I don't ever leave home without it. Its getting on for 15 years old now and its well worn.

The material is so rotten now that you can literally pull the material apart on the rim with very little effort. I bit the bullet a while back and ordered a new one. It should be arriving any day now.

I wouldn't recommend the supplier though as I was told it was going to be with me within 48 hours. 5 days later I was still waiting so I called them to be told it was coming straight from South Africa. 3 weeks later I had to ring them again and it was supposedly delivered on the 12 September!!! They have sent out another one over a week ago and still no sign...grrr!

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