Short brim hats?
« on: January 10, 2011, 11:43:00 AM »
I'm trying to find a short brim hat for early season. I found a few for colder weather but I'm looking for something I can wear in august. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Stormy Kromer. BigJim also has a nice one that would work well for early season.

I got a camo one from the Nocking Point last week.  Works great.

Big Jim has some good Barry Wensel style hats. I like them the brim has a wire in it and can be adjusted.

Although most people don't realize it, Stormy Kromer makes a short brim cap for women called the "Ida" that has sizes up to 7 5/8. It is very similar to the cap designed by Ron LaClair that is no longer being made by Stormy Kromer. The Ida does not come in a camo pattern or some of the other colors that the men's cap comes in, but it does come in dark brown, blue spruce, eggplant, white, red, and red/black plaid colors, all of which can be very good hunting colors depending on conditions. As long as you don't have a really large head (I don't) the Ida caps will fit men well. I personally will avoid the pink and raspberry colors, but then I may not be as secure in my manhood as some others are.      :saywhat:     http://www.stormykromer.com/womens/caps/ida-kromer-cap

Similar to the Ida is the "Cord" cap which is made of a corduroy material for warmer weather.  http://www.stormykromer.com/womens/caps/cord-cap

If you want cotton, look at the Predator Camo website.

I will check out all the suggestions, keep them coming. I'd like it to be camo but as long as it has a short brim I'll be happy. Thanks everyone!

Mossy Oak used to make a Short Brimmed archers cap with built in facemask.  I wish they'd bring these back again!

Kentucky TJ beat me to it! I just received one of BigJim's hats for Christmas and love it! In addition, it's a LOT more affordable than others coming in at only $10-$12 depending on what you options you choose. I like them so much that I'm gonna order another so that I have one to wear in the woods and one to wear for casual.

I like Big Jim's with the wire brim.  You can adjust the bill and turn up a corner for string clearance.

Filson packer is a great hat. It's not camo, but I see no need for a camo hat.

Here ya go.  Available from Brothers of the Bow.  My son and I wore one this season and they're really functional in the field . . . not just for warm weather either; he wears his under a hood in colder temps to help control the position of the hood.  By turning the wire brim up you can keep the hood at bay. When it gets colder I just slip a knit cap over it and I still have the advantage of a short brim.
