10 year old leather Fedroa, now well used and abused, wooly hat in the winter. Ive been looking at the Akabura, but want one with a narrower brim (like me old 'un 
).

Why, a light weight Tilley of course.
I have both the LT3 and I believe the one pictured is the LT5. It has the more generous brim. I like them both.

Olive drab US Army issue boonie/jungle hat and a US Army issue gortex watch cap.Cheap and does the job.
Tilley original for rain;Tilley with bigger rim front and back for sun;shemagh for sun in deserts.

Mostly a suede finish Rogue bush hat, switching to a woolly job in the winter, of a flat cap when on the beating line, with a waxed cotton boonie type for downpours.
The rougue nicely cuts down glare from my head for passers-by! :super:

Watch cap in the cold. Baseball cap in the warm - brim to front, too. The latter was a gift from some US people I worked with and I wear it to remind me of them.
Depends on what I am doing. Most of the time a Tilley T-4, every so often a straw Stetson cattleman, and when working aound the place or camping an old, faded, OD green USGI boonie hat (with the little loops around the crown removed, don't have much need to camo myself anymore). I really like the boonie hats, they give sun protection, pretty good rain protection (at least as far as keeping the drips off of my glasses), can be wadded up and stuck in a pocket, wet to cool your head in the summer, and only cost about $12 US...
I've got a leather aussie hat ( no corks ) used in all weathers ( toggi I think - I removed the logo bits ages ago ). Three feathers in the hat band - two off the parrot and one off a dear old yaffle. It gets a regular oiling with birch tar oil to keep it nice and shiny ( and smelling like a bonfire ), it also doubles as a handy container for nuts & berries and an emergency supply of fish hooks ( there's a few in the band ).
I must be the only guy around here that wears these--made by Dorfman. Nothing special, just a comfy canvas hat that doesn't blow off in the wind. 
Probably made by highly skilled people who get paid a dollar a day. :?:

After years in the forces wearing a beret I was opposed to wearing anything, but I have succumb and am now wearing a Barmah and it appears to be very good
