Well it kinda depends on the weather, but when I can I like a "short brimmed - 2 inches" fedora style hat.
-
Has anyone tried a Bailey Lausch hat before? It has a really short brim and is a "bucket hat" style.
-
I just saw a post today about Bailey of Hollywood hats. They have a litewool Camo Fedora! Looks really cool and not to expensive.

Is this the one PeteA was referring to???

I have a couple of stormy kromers I really like. Add a knit cap in really cold weather. In warm weather I cut the brim off a camo baseball cap shorter with my bandsaw.
-
I'm liking that "coups" hat. My heads kind of small, so if I get a large, I guess I'll have to stuff it with some aluminum foil. :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
-
mudd will chime in with those cool as heck robin hood hats......
-
I wear a hat made by Bailey's called a "BRIAR" love it very comfy.
-
Ball cap early season.

Stormy Cromer early and mid season.
(http://i904.photobucket.com/albums/ac248/TmPotter47/d3.jpg)
Fur when it gets really cold.

Baseball cap here, keeps the sun out of my eyes and I can turn it around mornings and evenings to allow better visibility.
-
If my Coups Cap is too big( Doubtful) I'll make you one that WILL fit.

Stormy Kromer cap, I could'nt be happier.
-
Here's the one I have worn for years... I'm not sure who the manufacturer was as thats now worn off but it's still marked "100% Wool" and has stood up to years of wet hunting here in the Pacific NW... I would highly recommend one, if it fits your style and you can find one.

Hat's not shrinkin Izzy. Your head's swelling up from holding on to those big antlers! Don't shoot such big deer and the hat'll fit just fine again ;)
-
Joe,
:laughing:
Izzy, whip may be on to something here. at least Noah will have a good hat collection. ;)

Stormy Kromer...

Trapper, that's a beautiful looking coon skin hat. Did you make it?
I often seen roadkill coons that I think I should pick up and skin out for that very reason, but don't know where to look next to get a nice one made.
A mild day or 2 in the winter will bring them out, but they must be a bit groggy and get hit. Would be prime fur, I'd think.
-
Stormy Kromer this year when the temps dropped. A green bucket hat earlier in the season.
-
Hey Duncan. I'm looking for one like your bottom photo. Any leads? What kind is that?

Now there, is a goofy lookin' hat!

Classic Bowman Sporting Woolens--
I produce the classic Rail Road type hat--called the Bowman Brim-- it's about 1.75" just big enough to block out the sun.
I consulted the Bowman Brim expert Barry Wensel.
He has give me his stamp of approval.
For 2012 I am doing a special color called Pie Bald. Looks just ike the plaid he is wearing in the photo with Gene of Woody--
my hat is different, it has larger fold down outside ear flaps ( I call them wings) these flaps COMPLETELY cover your ears. My hat also has
pull down inner ear flaps -- so in real cold weather you can get double protection.
The hat is also quilted lined.
Wool is 85 wool 15% nylon-- made 100% in the USA.
IN the futute I plan to put an antler button in the front where the LEATHER tie is---
Any of you that have antler pieces or sheds that would be the size of a quarter, these can be cut on an angle . They look great on the front of the hat. I am going to need quite a few---
I will pay for freight --
I will post some photo's.
Also coming for 2012.
Modified Engineer cap-- called the Bowman Cruiser
wool and cotton canvas. All my plaid colors !
The Bowman Bomber ( Snoopy type)
The Duncan-- this is a newsboy style -- style after bowman of the 1950's
Email me for a catalog and for new products for 2012 -- [email protected] (http://[email protected])
Remember --- your all going to need warm cloths--
All product is guaranteed--
Thanks for your business Rob

Hey wooddamon1,
Are the earflaps on the Original Stormy Kromer long enough to cover the ears when pulled down? I'm trying to decide between the Original and the Rancher model with the longer flaps. Thanks.
-
Duncan, stick with the "oldie but goodie" and loose the rest. Trust me.
Here's the one I've been wearing for a couple of years.

Vesty,
I got it in a Belk's dept store back in the 70's. I doubt you would find one like it now. But you might check out used clothing stores that sell vintage clothing, you never know what you will find. I think there are some online vintage stores too that might have vintage hats. Also yard sales and flea markets are a good possible source. Sorry I could not be of more help.
Reddoge,
My wife would agree with you, I have too many hats!

Well I really like My 3d leafy boonie, but here in Texas You have to wear Orange.

Yes the origial will cover the ears if you pull it down. They will cover your whole ear with maybe your earlobe or the bottom of your earlobe hanging out. The rancher is warmer and covers more of your neck. The rancher is definitely warmer but may be too warm depending on what you use it for. They are both great hats. Get one of each.
-
Thanks agross1. I think I'll go for the Original. Need a new blaze orange to wear while rabbit hunting this winter. I could always throw a light weight beanie under it if it's really cold.
-
If your going to be rabbit hunting, I assume you will be mostly walking, the original will be plenty warm. They are great hats.
-
I like bucket hats and really like my coups hat! :thumbsup:
-
mikebiz, what agross1 said! Cabelas had some red and black plaid on sale for $29.99 last week. I don't know if they are still having it or not...
Love my Stormy Kromer!
-
Most of the time I wear this wool (i guess Fedora style).
If hot out, generally a ball cap to shade my eyes.

Love my wool Filson Mackinaw cap. Nice short brim and fold-down earflaps for when it's real cold. Plenty warm when it's cold, and not too hot when it's warm out.
-
Usually a ball cap. Miss the old Jones style caps.
